FMB Launch Search For Greenest Builder

The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) has launched a nationwide search for Britain's greenest builder - one who knows about energy efficiency measures and can turn their hand to installing insulation, wind turbines and even solar panels.

With energy efficiency such an important factor in home improvement, the FMB is calling on satisfied homeowners to nominate their builder for the Master Builder of the Year Awards 2008 Energy Efficiency category for an eco-project well done.


TV presenter Naomi Cleaver said: "Energy efficiency should be high on the priority list for all home improvement work these days and homeowners should be able to look to their builders to provide them with energy efficiency ideas to help them to save money - and the planet."

Richard Diment, FMB Director General said: "Builders are at the frontline in the bid to make homes more energy efficient and environmentally-friendly, so we do hope that this year's Master Builder of the Year is a green one."

"The Master Builder of the Year Awards are designed primarily to reward building excellence and customer service, but the energy efficiency category also requires builders to have demonstrated the best use of eco features, that can save energy, reduce costs and cut the overall environmental impact."
