Sun and EarthOur Mission is, simply stated, to make the world a better place for our children and our children's children. We believe a better world is achievable with creative thinking and hard work. By fulfilling our clients', customers', and families' needs with intelligent innovation, we have become leaders and models showing a way to a sustainable future. Sun & Earth Incorporated is dedicated to designing and building better structures for both working and living. Our goal is a building that meets the needs of the user. Aesthetics, energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, durability, safety, and comfort are our design criteria. Sun & Earth can work from your designs or can provide the designs and imagination for the project of your dreams. A designer who also builds is able to provide the most effective plans and construction detailing. Cost effectiveness is a basic consideration in all of our work. Since 1976 our concern with resource conservation has inspired innovation in solar design and energy efficiency, both in adobe and frame construction. A strategy of using appropriate materials, methods, and design to create buildings that serve the occupants most efficiently has been a primary focus. With many years experience in construction, we are artisans in fine woodworking, timber framing, masonry, and metalworking. We can build in any media, with special expertise in adobe, custom millwork, exposed timber construction, hydronic heating, passive and active solar systems, and building for the mobility impaired. |
Jim GrahamThe President of Sun & Earth, Jim Graham, is a third generation New Mexican. He was born in Albuquerque and has a degree in biology from New Mexico State University. His construction experience began when he was eight years old, and has included a great diversity of work, from adobe restoration to power plant consultation. Resource conservation and energy efficient design has been a primary interest since 1976. His designs have included wood, steel, and masonry. Much of his work has been influenced by his experience with remodeling, where he has been able to learn much relating to durability and versatility. He has two sons, the youngest born in 1993. His primary hobby is technical rock climbing. Jim's formal training is in microbiology. His work experience includes
power plants, feed mills, highway construction, and agronomy in addition
to residential construction. He is hands-on with metal working, wood
working, masonry, plumbing, millwrighting, welding, and electrical work,
but has found metal roofing and hydronics to be most satisfying and
most productive in the use of his time as a contractor. |
