Who We Are

As the founders of Postgreen and the 100k House Blog, we started Hybrid Construction to better execute the extremely energy efficient, healthy and architecturally unique designs of our own projects. We also knew that there were others out there struggling with the perceived cost and complexity of green building, and we thought that we could help them by bringing our experience to their projects. We believe that quality does not have to be a victim of cost and that sustainability is no longer simply an option.

We are very qualified to work with architects and owners who have a commitment to unique design and green construction. Our experience with value engineering sustainable, modern projects has given us a unique perspective among builders. We take pride in the performance and appearance of all of our buildings and look forward to helping you do the same.

Team:

Chuck Weiss
Chuck is our project manager, and he has over 25 years of experience building a huge range of projects including more than a dozen LEED homes. We particularly like him because he has embraced green building and modern design so fully. Since Chuck is undoubtedly the one most responsible for the success of Hybrid’s projects we will give a little extra background . . .

  • 4 years with C&M Home Builders managing the construction of 100 homes per year.
  • 3 years of solo work on high end custom homes and historic renovations.
  • 2 Years managing a $2.5 million, award winning commercial renovation of a barn into a community center.
  • 2 Years directing construction for Habitat for Humanity in Philly, increasing production scale by 100% while delivering the first affordable green homes in Philadelphia.
  • Many more years as a consultant, contractor, warranty manager, dog sledder and story teller.
  • All in all Chuck has built over 600 homes, 14 of which were LEED projects.

And that is just a brief overview.
