Value for Money

Little Greenie is not a large building – deliberately. It is fully spacious for a holiday retreat and the principles involved in building it could be replicated on a larger scale - for the needs of a large family, for instance; but if you have an environmental conscience the justification for large buildings is fast disappearing.

Since the 1950s house sizes have increased continually, reflecting a societal outlook that has failed to take account of growing environmental pressures. The extraction and utilisation of resources requires energy and the larger the building the larger the carbon footprint; and of course, the larger the building the larger the financial cost.

Eco-action Design and Build believe they have ultimately achieved the best financial and environmental value for money spent. When you take into account the energy efficiencies over years, the low maintenance over years and the projected longevity, the building is ultimately gentler on both the environment and the pocket because it is long lasting and requires no speedy rebuild.
