DESPITE STORMY ECONOMY, PARK CITY, UT-BASED
GREEN CONSTRUCTION FIRM RIDES ENVIRONMENTAL
WAVE TO RAPID EXPANSION
PARK CITY, UT (May 5, 2009)—Weathering the current economy is a tough proposition for any business, with many companies forced to lower forecasts, cut costs, layoff personnel and hunker down until the storms pass. However, Park City, UT-based green construction firm GreenTech Design/Build is forecasting rapid expansion in 2009.
The overall economy may be stone cold, but the current political and social winds are heating up for businesses based on the growing “green” economy. Recognizing this shift, GreenTech Design/Build recently completed the process of franchising its business and has announced that it is now offering franchise opportunities across the U.S.
“After starting GreenTech Design/Build, I was amazed at the lack of resources available in the way of franchising businesses for green building as well as general construction,” said GreenTech Design/Build principal Thad Peterson. “By combining sustainability and innovative construction into a systematic and easy-to-follow franchising model, others can now enjoy the same success and fulfillment that we have realized over the years in building green.”
On the cutting edge of green building techniques and products, GreenTech Design/Build is a construction management firm that focuses on optimizing instead of maximizing resources with the use of dynamic design and technologically advanced building practices. The GreenTech model works to optimize and perfect the entire building process, from site selection, to design, to materials used, to construction practices. Aside from construction, the firm also provides architectural and design consultation, as well as green products and services via its website, www.greentechdesignbuild.com.
Working with The Franchise Maker, a San Diego, CA-based company that takes businesses to the next level by helping them realize franchise wealth, GreenTech Design/Build completed all the necessary steps to franchise its business model.
“Being overwhelmed by the whole franchising process, The Franchise Maker was instrumental in keeping me motivated and focused on bringing us successfully to this end goal of offering a viable franchise system,” commented Peterson.
“GreenTech Design Build is the first business of its kind to franchise a green construction consulting business,” stated Dave Waldman. “The GreenTech system is impressive because it is a combination of green building techniques coupled with energy efficient products that takes advantage of our culture, making this a simple turn-key business for the right entrepreneur.”
The franchising of GreenTech Design/Build provides a perfect opportunity for others across the country within the construction field or those who wish to enter the field as a construction consultant. While construction and contracting businesses across the U.S. are sinking due to the drop in the housing market, Thad Peterson sees opportunity.
“Construction companies that are still in business are seeking ways to differentiate themselves and find new areas of income. Franchising with a green design/build firm like ours is an excellent way to do just that.”
