CAVEAT EMPTOR… (Buyers Beware)
Every now and then - we still have clients - (and recently quite a few more) who just say: Your price is higher than…
And in these times of TIGHT BUDGETS, survival tactics and “doing what you gotta do” - what else can we really expect??
But PLEASE KNOW — there are very VALID reasons why PERKA’s prices are suppose to [...]
WHY BUILD WITH A PERKA BUILDING SYSTEM??
Here are just a FEW great reasons why using a PERKA BUILDING SYSTEM just makes perfect sense!!
1. It’s Easy to assemble - the frames FIT together, “like a glove”.
2. It’s also easy to insulate - especially with P2000 insulation. (www.p2000insulation.com).
3. It’s easy to finish inside and out - and with ANY material you prefer! You [...]
Our Story: PERKA’S BEGINNINGS…
Many have asked about how PERKA BUILDINGS all got started…
2010 will mark the 30th year since my Dad brought to concept the PERKA BUILDING SYSTEM IDEA. And 2011 will be the anniversary of the start of the business. So, over the next several months, I thought I’d share some tidbits of information about “our story”…
Back in the late 70’s my dad [...]
BUYERS BEWARE: NOT ALL BUILDINGS ARE ALIKE
A building is a building is a building? Right? Or is it??
Many folks often ask us: “How come there is such a disparity in pricing on buildings?”
The obvious answers are quality, service, dependability, branding, etc. and everyone should do some homework about these at the very least. Just comparing prices “online” can really lead you down a [...]
In the Midst of a New Paradigm
Are you feeling an evolution? Are you seeing “changes” in our world at all?
An interesting thing about these unprecedented times we are in is that it does seem “slow” enough that it’s not too dramatic or overwhelming for the most part. Sure there may be periods of what appears to be CHAOS, and even a bit shocking, but then, with [...]
Learning to “Speak Green” with Rite Mind!!
If you are like me, learning about the “Green” industry, living sustainably, developing an “ECO FRIENDLY” lifestyle and basically getting in tune with Mother Earth, has really opened up a whole gamut of new windows and doors, while CLOSING many others!
I have come to a personal realization that whether I believe it or not, our planet, [...]
WHAT IS UP WITH ALL OUR STUFF??
What is the Story of Stuff?
From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff [...]
What is Renewable Energy? A Work of Art.
When one jumps onto the “Sustainable Building” Train - the amount of information about all the various aspects of building for living sustainably, and creating a sovereign lifestyle can seem quite daunting. But like anything that is “new” - by keeping at it and picking up a little bit more each day - like a [...]
GOAL: GETTING TO NET ZERO BUILDINGS
The more one researches about “BUILDING GREEN” - “SUSTAINABLE BUILDING” - “CONSCIOUS LIVING - the more one realizes the less one knows, and the more there is to know!! It’s wild. It’s GREAT!
There are many initiatives going on ALL OVER THE WORLD. From governments to grass roots. The great thing is we’re all pointing [...]
Building Green isn’t only about Energy Conservation
My dad always respected his responsibilities as steward of his possessions including home and land and also strongly believed in Energy Conservation. I can remember it like it was yesterday - where he always insisted in his strong bellowing voice to “close our doors and lights” whenever we’d leave a room or house! PERIOD!
Maybe it was because he [...]
