Eco Building Products, Inc., announced today that F1 Construction Inc. based out of Queens, New York has completed the Eco Defensive Partner Certification Program, certifying five of their lead Construction Foremen as Defensive Builders.
In addition to the certification of the Company's key leadership, F1 Construction has made a commitment to raise their Company's standards on how wood-framed buildings are built above and beyond Building Code minimums, with the expectation of future climate change storms making landfall, capable of delivering similar devastation or worse than that of Sandy. At this time, F1 Construction has three jobs specified with Eco Red Shield Advanced Framing Lumber in the pipeline with foundations being poured this coming week. Eco and its' newest Defensive Partner F1 Construction are confident that Eco Red Shield defense against mold, termites and wood rot-decay is just as important as protection from fire, and looks forward to fielding the most common question of "Why is it red?"
Gustavo Badolati, President of F1 Construction, Inc. commented "It has been a long time since I've had the opportunity to differentiate my Company from other builders, not only in the building and design aspect, but in the 'better built homes' school of thought. I feel almost as if it was faith that brought ECOB and F1 together. A few weeks ago I was watching Eco's video while waiting at the Pro Desk, and had told myself I would soon contact this company. I almost didn't make it to the recent Builder' Expo at the Javit's Center in NYC, but I realized around noon that there just might be something there to interest me, so I decided to go. Was I ever right! It was awesome sharing ideas and passions with the folks at Eco, and I can't wait to start this journey that will hopefully bring us to reach great heights."
Steve Conboy, President & Chief Executive Officer of Eco Building Products, Inc. stated "For me being the founder of Eco, it's a true pleasure working with a great Custom Home Builder like Gustavo and his Team, being that I came from that part of the country. This group of professionals doesn't need anyone to tell them they need to raise the bar; they heard about Eco's whole-house Advanced Framing Lumber, so they came and found us and said we are ready to go on every house we build from this point forward."
