Surveying

Wisconsin Trend Home
Waukesha, Wisconsin

R.A. Smith National provided pro bono surveying services, including a plat of survey and construction staking, for the Wisconsin Trend Home™, a philanthropic undertaking of the Wisconsin Builders Association (WBA) Foundation and members of Metropolitan Builders Association (MBA). The purpose of this project is to build an environmentally sensitive home with the technologies and features that should be prevalent in a home in the year 2020.

The WBA Foundation will use the home to educate builders and the public throughout Wisconsin on the core elements that are included in this home. Some of the unique features include the first residential application in Wisconsin of a gray water reuse system; a rainwater catchment system; solar hot water system; and more.

WISN TV, Milwaukee, reported on the innovative, energy saving components of this green home.
