The Hickory Consortium is a group of experienced
building professionals and companies dedicated
to fostering innovation in the residential building
industry. Our shared mission is to catalyze the
habit of building energy-efficient, environmentally
sound and healthy housing. We are dedicated to
building green at a cost comparable to traditional
building methods and at equal or higher quality.
Our record shows this can be done.

buildings and multi-family residential building
projects to demonstrate these |
