Smart Home Builders' President and CEO, "Buddy" Mitchell, believes in, and actively supports new approaches to home building and the need to look to future homeowner savings, by making every home as energy efficient as possible. His commitments are unequivocal. He advocates and practices Full Disclosure for everything he builds, and upon request will provide an itemized list of materials he uses and their rating. Putting into practice what he preaches, if requested he will provide written guarantees for energy use on any home he builds.

"Buddy" Mitchell, started Buddy Mitchell Homes in 1995, and renamed it as SMART HOME BUILDERS in 1995. He did so, to reflect his approach to building homes that make the best use of modern concepts and contemporary materials.
