Hasentree is designated an Audubon sanctuary

Fewer than 75 communities have been awarded this prestigious designation nationwide, and Hasentree is one of only five in North Carolina participating in the program.

Homes By Dickerson builds Habitat House

This home's construction is the product of the recent Builder's Blitz.

Imagine building a home in seven days from start to finish that’s ready for move-in on day seven. As challenging as it sounds, that’s what Homes by Dickerson and other members of a builder team did when they joined the Triangle Builder’s Guild in the Homebuilders Association of Raleigh-Wake County’s Builder’s Blitz.

The company joined one of five builder teams who participated in the project to build a Habitat for Humanity home for a family in need. In addition to general oversight of the project, each builder took responsibility for the home’s construction for a day.

Triangle home builder “going green”
Raleigh’s Homes By Dickerson has gone green. Beginning July 1, all homes built by Homes By Dickerson will be Energy Star-certified, meaning the company will build all new homes in accordance with established energy efficiency guidelines.

Some of the new features in a residence built by Homes by Dickerson will include the use of Energy Star-qualified lighting fixtures, additional ventilation fans, Energy Star-certified appliances, high-performance windows with protective coatings that block damaging ultraviolet sunlight and keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer, and additional insulation.

In June, Windjam Builder Marketing Group played host to the Chatham County United Chamber of Commerce Spring Fling at The Hamptons, a historic luxury community near Jordan Lake. The outdoor event attracted approximately nearly 250 chamber members. Guests were treated to food, a wine tasting, and live jazz music.
