Classic's Focus on Continued Learning Feature on CharlestonCurrents.com

Below is an excerpt from the Monday, February 1 issue of CharlestonCurrents.

Bob Fleming, president of Classic Remodeling & Construction on Johns Island, recently earned the Certified Green Professional (CGP) designation from the National Association of Home Builders. According to the NAHB's directory, Fleming is the only person within a 50-mile radius who has the registered designations of Certified Green Professional and Certified Graduate Remodeler.

The Certified Green Professional designation recognizes builders, remodelers and other industry professionals who incorporate green building principles into their work without driving up the cost of construction. Classwork leading to the designation provides a solid background in green building methods as well as the tools to reach consumers.

In addition to Fleming's NAHB distinctions, he is also a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED AP), awarded through the U.S. Green Building Council. "At Classic, I encourage all my employees, in the office and the field, to train and strive for designations that will ultimately provide a higher level of service and expertise for our clients," said Fleming. "The remodeling and construction industry is constantly changing, and it is our responsibility to be a resource of knowledge and experience related to the latest products and technology."

Fleming established Classic Remodeling & Construction in 1989. It's the largest full-service, design-build company in the Charleston area. The company is an underwriter of CharlestonCurrents.com.
