Groundbreaking |
| "All Smiles At The Start!"
The Carr's were all smiles at the start... and as the picture above shows, all smiles at the end. Being honest though, anytime you build a house their are some frowns in the middle...but it is easier to have UBuildIt to share them with! Both Sam and Kathy were a wonderful team in building their dream home. |

The  Foundation Excavation |
| "We Found Rock!" |
| You keep your fingers crossed on any excavation in "rock ridden" Central Kentucky but sometimes you lose. We brought in a large track hoe with the hoeram attachment to get down to some serious rock removal business. |

A Tight Building Envelope? What It Is and Why You Want One
A building envelope is a combination of the foundation, wall and roof assemblies all working together to provide a safe and comfortable environment for you and your family while maintaining the structural integrity of your home. In other words, it keeps your home tightly sealed to prevent the outdoors from coming in. The more tightly sealed your home, the less energy loss you will have. A tight building envelope:
#1 - Holds up the building
#2 - Keeps out the rain, groundwater, wind and moisture vapor
#3 - Keeps out soil gas, such as radon
#4 - Removes moisture vapor from the inside your home
#5 - Keeps the heat in during the winter and out during the summer thereby reducing heating and air conditioning costs
#6 - Prevents insect and vermin infestation
#7 - Prevents condensation inside a building's foundation, walls and roof assemblies.
Air tightness is extremely important when reducing a home's energy usage. As much as 40% of a home's heating and cooling loss is due to air leakage.
Products that can provide you with a tight building envelope benefit the comfort and health of you and your family as well as decrease the impact on the environment by reducing your energy cost.
When you compare the process of buying a home that adequately fits your needs with building a home that truly satisfies your needs, it's easy to see why building is simply better. And aside from the dramatic sense of accomplishment, there are many reasons to consider taking the lead on such a task. We'll list a few of the more timely ones here.
We'd love to help you make the right building decision for your family. Here are the next steps:
1.) Visit our website at www.UBuildIt.com where you'll find out more about our company and building your own home.
2.) Order your FREE INFORMATION KIT below and read through the report "You CAN Build Your Own Home" if you haven't already... and watch the DVD. Write down any questions you have as you review these materials.
3.) Call us to schedule an appointment so we can talk about your situation. Our number is 1.866.UBuildIt...
...or call us about attending a FREE HOMEBUILDING seminar here in Lexington
On behalf of everyone here at UBuildIt Lexington South, I'd like to thank you for your interest, and let you know we look forward to helping you enjoy the satisfaction and savings that comes from building your own home.
Sincerely,
Wayne Henning/Owner
