Power House Collaboration | Bayou City Welding

Friday, March 18, 2016

Power House Investors, Inc LOVES to collaborate with local Texas, even better local Houston artist/designers/creators especially when they are your friends! Nothing better then supporting your local community.

Hence when the time came to decide on where to look for a professional and creative welder to custom make our metal stair railings, we knew exactly who to call, Geoff Mann of Bayou City Welding.

BAYOU CITY WELDING  services included Commercial, Industrial and Residential basically whatever you need they got it covered.

Please look at the fabulous work Geoff and his team created and installed in both our new construction homes 801 FAIRBANKS | HOUSTON ,TX 77009

Green Built, Energy Rated

Friday, December 4, 2015

So what does it mean, when we say our house is a green build and has been energy rated?
    
A little background . . . We (Power House Investors) built two townhouse/condos in South Austin, Texas that were rated 4-STAR by Austin Energy Green Building. The ratings are from 1 -5 Stars,  so getting 4 stars was quite the accomplishment for our first development.

  "Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) created the country’s first green home rating system in 1991. We have led the field of sustainable building ever since. Our Single-Family Program promotes the design, construction, purchase, and operation of green homes. We do this through extensive marketing and education to both building professionals and the public. The heart of this effort is our Single-Family Rating System. We designed it to reflect Central Texas’ hot-humid climate, resources, and building conditions." - Website


We wanted to take they same green build features and apply them to the Houston market.  Based on our Architects recommendation and that they are fellow members of the Greater Houston Builders Association, we hired Snyder Energy Services to complete our energy rating. 

What that means to you,  the potential buyer is . . .

We took the extra mile, to hire & pay an additional (not mandatory) third party to inspect the house throughout the building process  based on the Energy Green Rating Specifications we mandated in the development stages. If the house did not comply, we were not able to move forward just like the City of Houston would do for their inspections. Not all builders/developers take the time and effort to make building green a priority. We want you to know that we did and do you know who it really benefits? ... you, the buyer!

Energy Specifications:

  • Spray foam sealed attic, spray cellulose in walls
  •  30 year composite shingle roof with Radiant Barrier
  • High Efficiency 16 SEER HVAC
  •  Low-E Energy Star rated windows
  • Tankless-Water Heater
    • Dual-Flush Toilets
    • Energy Rated Kitchen Aid Appliances
    • Energy Star lighting elements 

    801 FAIRBANKS


    The Standard Home HERS performance rating is 100.  
    801 Fairbanks HER performance rating is 59!

    Based on this information, the estimated Energy average monthly cost $178 for a 2,410 SF house.



    803 FAIRBANKS




    The Standard Home HERS performance rating is 100.  
    801 Fairbanks HERS performance rating is 62!

    Based on this information, the estimated Energy average monthly cost $202 for a 2,720 SF house.







    801 Fairbanks Panoramic Views

    Friday, November 6, 2015

    Mind the mess but that means we have been working! 

    Check out these awesome panoramic view of the open floor plan. 

    For parents this means, you can see everything and for the entertainers this means everyone will be together whether they are seated at the kitchen Island, dining room or even outside on your fabulous covered porch that extends almost the entire length of the house.  

     View looking at house standing at the dining room sliding doors...
    Living room to the left and Kitchen to far right, dining room in the middle


     Facing the covered porch just beyond the sliding glass doors..




    KITCHEN- Close up

    From this view of the kitchen you can see that we have fur down the 10 ft ceiling to meet the upper cabinets. This eliminates the need for those 2ft of upper cabinets that know one ever uses because once you put something in their it disappears from your memory since it is such a pain to grab anything at that height.  

    Then you will notice these celestial windows that are strategically placed to be your back-splash. LOVE this look so much for a number of reasons, i.e. brings in sunlight and still allows for upper cabinets. AND by far the coolest reason is because we will be planting some plants on the outside of the house right there, when the plants bud in the spring you will have a lovely GREEN backslash and if you decide you don;t like the back-splash you can change the plant anytime you want. 

    The doorway on the right leads to a walk-in pantry. This house really has lots of storage space! 



    LIVING ROOM- Close up


    Modern wide gas fireplace with custom shelves on either side.

    The living room and dining room have recessed eyeball lights to display your artwork.

    The Left doorway leads to the 4th bedroom/study/flex space and on the right is a full bath with large stand-up shower.

    This room is sure to be a showstopper!!
