Retrofuturism permeates all aspects of Water’s Edge, including the way homes are built. While architecture and construction materials have changed radically over the past century, house construction methods have not made many advancements since the late 1940s when the “production home” became the norm and may even have become poorer as a result.. We have the timeless commitment to “one home at a time” quality craftsmanship showcased in America’s earlier neighborhoods. The only difference is that our Builder Team will use advanced framing systems, Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs), and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) to builder a higher quality, longer lasting, quieter and dramatically more energy efficient homes than you will find in the run of the mill subdivision. Your approved Builder will carefully seal the building envelope to prevent the entry of moisture and use mold-resistant materials. We believe that a sustainable development is one that conserves resources.
Water’s Edge is proud to partner with homebuilder Chuck Miller Construction, who has won awards for quality and energy efficiency. Chuck Miller utilizes a systems engineering approach under Building America guidelines and builds homes that are 30 percent to 50 percent more energy efficient than the Idaho Energy Code requires.

Chuck Miller is among the best Boise home builders and is a member of the National Association of Home Builders.
