Homes
It has been exciting to explore this market , which presents its own challenges in terms of providing enough square footage to accommodate the younger generation and the ageing family members , both from a financial and practical standpoint . However , we strive to navigate these fine lines to make sure everyone involved is happy with the custom home we have built for them ,” he goes on .
Sustainable solutions
Delving into the unavoidable topic of sustainability in homebuilding , Oleg sheds light on the ways Foksha Homes reduces its impact on the environment . “ Oregon is one of the leading states in the US in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability standards ,” he explains . The company is committed to exceeding those standards in every aspect of its building process . “ We work with our heating , ventilation , and air conditioning ( HVAC ) contractors to ensure that our furnace systems , including air returns , are highly energy-efficient . Depending on what a specific project entails , we can sometimes use renewable items or recycled materials in our flooring , for example . Additionally , insulation and heating are key areas of focus , as they can significantly impact energy efficiency and comfort in the homes we build . Thus , we tend to go above and beyond to make sure they are as efficient as possible . Lastly , to minimize our use of natural resources , we prioritize using sustainable , man-made materials in our building process . As a result , we limit our use of cedar wood and other natural resources that cannot be replaced ,” he ends .
As Igor looks forward to retiring after over 25 years of molding Foksha Homes , Oleg is prepared to lead the next chapter , upholding his father ’ s legacy of customized craftsmanship and sustainable designs for families in Oregon . We look forward to catching up with the business again in the future , to hear more about its evolution under the watchful eye of the next generation of the Foksha family . ■
