how can we help you?
We want to help create cool and meaningful spaces that are sustainable: People. Planet. Profit.
We provide services from the beginning to the end of your project. We can be engaged at any stage, but love to come in early during planning and pre-design, to help align the project team with the owner's vision. Our aim is to be your expert and trusted advisor, providing exceptional communication every step of the way.
As real estate advisors, planners and engineers, we can take your project from conception to reality. Our staff are licensed professional engineers in California, Texas and (pending) Colorado. [Texas Firm #18944]

questions about going green?
Before starting any project, we lay the groundwork with big picture thinking, the FUN stuff! What are my project's financial goals? What is the added-value of building green and how does it affect my bottom line? How can we create a unique and really cool community? What are the sustainability, social and economic development goals of my project? How can we go green but still save money? How can the project weave into the local neighborhood? The environment? ...The world? Just ask! russ@mountainsunresources.com
