According to Dodge Data amp Analytics Green construction is rapidly gaining traction among both single family and multifamily home builders according to research published in the Green Multifamily and Single Family Homes 2017 SmartMarket Brief
At least one third of single family and multifamily builders who were surveyed said that green building is a significant portion of their overall activity (more than 60 percent of their portfolio) By 2022 this number should increase to nearly one half in both the single family and multifamily sectors Within this group nearly 30 percent of multifamily builders fall into the category of dedicated green builders (more than 90 percent of their portfolio) On the single family side the percentage of dedicated green builders is nearly 20 percent but that share is expected to grow sizably by 2022 For more information on how FGBC members can market and communicate green building to customers and clients e-mail us

Marketing Florida Green for Builders Developers
According to Dodge Data amp Analytics Green construction is rapidly gaining traction among both single family and multifamily home builders according to research published in the Green Multifamily and Single Family Homes 2017 SmartMarket Brief
At least one third of single family and multifamily builders who were surveyed said that green building is a significant portion of their overall activity (more than 60 percent of their portfolio) By 2022 this number should increase to nearly one half in both the single family and multifamily sectors Within this group nearly 30 percent of multifamily builders fall into the category of dedicated green builders (more than 90 percent of their portfolio) On the single family side the percentage of dedicated green builders is nearly 20 percent but that share is expected to grow sizably by 2022 For more information on how FGBC members can market and communicate green building to customers and clients e-mail us
