But doesn’t Green Building mean non-toxic!?

Sadly, no. We too were shocked and that is why we started SaferBuilding.com. A recycled material could be someone’s “toxic trash” and using less wood (particle board) could mean more toxins.

Green is GOOD.

SaferBuilding & Green is GREAT!

Not just a paper organization!
Unlike most organizations, we’ve actually done what we recommend… again and again and again (over 300 tests). We don’t sell building materials or contracting services. SaferBuilding is unbiased, dependable, and field tested.

Don’t contaminate your home!
We answer the tough questions… are the products safe? How do they work in practice? What will it cost? Will they last? Where can I find the materials? What does my contractor need to do differently? Let a SaferBuilding team member assist you.

Find out before you buy!
You can see the color of the paint and the type of flooring, but you can’t see the toxins. Find out what is likely to cause a problem, what is correctable and what is not by having a pre-purchase consultation.

Certifications… why SaferBuilding?
Unlike others, you can’t swap one toxin for another, so buyers rest assured that the house is as safe as can be. That is why we see a 7% to 10% increase.
