“It’s an honor to be recognized by the New Jersey builder’s community in so many categories. Our firm is dedicated to the sustainable building movement and we plan to continue to build high-performing LEED communities that are better for the environment and the peope who occupy them,” said Ed Walters, Jr., president and founder.
