If you want to buy, fix, care for or sell a car, it’s easy to find endless information about how to do it, where to go and who to trust along the way. Not so for buying or building a home. Historically, the home building industry has underserved consumers in providing information about how to make smart decisions about building or living in your new home. The Build Right Institute™ was born from this realization. Better resources should be available to advocate for, research and educate homeowners about all aspects of the home building process. Through The Build Right Institute, sponsor John Wick Homes has committed to expanding the expertise it has brought to building homes for more than 25,000 families since 1966.
The Build Right Institute™ has recently embarked upon this endeavor to provide the resources homeowners need. This site contains the results of some of our initial efforts. In the coming months, The Build Right Institute™ will continue to add research-based literature, consumer-oriented insights and comparative data on important home-related issues such as indoor air quality, environmentally-based building techniques, quality assurance measures and much more.
