## About

### Houzz Badges

- 100 Ideabook Saves

Builders Commonwealth is a design/build firm, with in-house architecture and a large custom cabinet facility.  Our general construction work includes commercial and residential buildings.  Recent commercial projects include the new Whole Foods Coop in Grand Marais, Minn and the renovation of the Duluth Whole Foods Coop.  Our residential work includes both renovation/restoration projects, as well as new construction.  We encourage our customers to incorporate energy conservation and solar options.  In 1981 we received one of five national awards to build a passive solar demonstration project.  Recently, we constructed an Extreme Makeover residence in South Range, Wisconsin that incorporated energy conservation, active solar and green building practices.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Opened a new folder for you, hope it works!  Can you see my comments on photos?** *(in Post to Followers)*

Opened a new folder for you, hope it works!  Can you see my comments on photos?

A: No, I can't see your comments or at least haven't figured out how to see them. I set up both a work and personal account for myself to help me figure out how interactions between home owners and contractors work. I will mess around with the two accounts and see what I can learn. In any case, this is already much more useful than a bunch of dog-eared pages in home decorating magazines.
