We are advancing the field of sustainable, energy-efficient building.

Clarum Communities is dedicated to high performance, energy-efficient construction, as well as net-zero technologies and passive homes. Our company serves owners, architects, and developers with a commitment to teamwork and quality. We provide added value to any construction project.

We partner with numerous firms to research and improve green building technologies. Combining quality construction with passive house building technologies allows Clarum to deliver an end product that stands up to the test of time and is part of a long-term environmental solution.

Regardless of its size, your project will be managed throughout the construction process by a knowledgeable, highly qualified team of Clarum professionals who will act as stewards of your money and your facility. We keep clients informed and ensure ongoing communication between all team members. Throughout your project, Clarum will carefully monitor the schedule and proactively manage changes to ensure that your project is delivered on time.
