Daniel B. Steward's Bio
Dan has over 30 years of experience in construction and construction management. When it comes to building, he is a perfectionist, someone you would want to manage your dream home. Dan highly values integrity and good character. He orders his life and business with impeccable integrity. Dan understands how important it is to be able to work with all kinds of personalities and works well with people of all diversity. He is skilled at coalescing architects, engineers, and clients working to put together the very best project with the utmost quality.
Dan has built residential and commercial buildings on all sorts of challenging terrain. Homes on cliffs edge overlooking the ocean and steep slopes on top of mountains.
Dan began his career in high school where he worked each summer on commercial framing crews and began being mentored by the late Lloyd "Ted" Follmar, a successful general contractor who ran work for general engineering contracting companies for over 30 years. Dan was trained in all disciplines of construction. He received a general contractor license in 1984 becoming the "Responsible Managing Officer" and President of CSI Builders, Inc.
Over the years Dan has managed and overseen multiple building projects from large scale room addition and remodeling projects to multi-million dollar Type I construction projects. He has challenged numerous individuals and companies to invest their lives and finances in providing shelter for the poor and has been privileged to oversee and raise funds for over 100 homes built to provide shelter for the poor and marginalized.
Dan enjoys learning and educating others in new technological advances in building science and is well versed in the design and installation of energy efficient, high performance building systems for homes. Dan was excited about green building long before it became a new marketing trend. He has incorporated state of the art systems such as geo-thermal heat pumps and radiant floor heating systems powered by high efficient boilers and less expensive dual fuel systems managed by computer automated zone controls and energy management controls that automatically manage electricity usage.
He believes there are at least four main and extremely important features pertaining to energy efficiency which he takes into account on each project.
1. Building Orientation - How a house in directionally oriented makes a huge difference in managing heating and air conditioning throughout different seasons of the year.
2. Building Perimeter (building envelope) - Another important aspect of a home is the building perimeter or building envelope. A builder must show great care by providing a home with a proper rain plane using proper building wraps and flashing techniques, proper sealing to eliminate wind and air to enter the envelope, strategic rated windows and a well designed insulation system.
3. Engineered HVAC System (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) - Investing time and money to professionally design, size, and test the heating, cooling, and ventilation systems in a home will save plenty of money and comfort over the life of a home.
4. Energy Efficient Lighting and Appliances - The average home owner spends over 20% of the energy budget on lighting alone. With the advancements of compact fluorescent and LED lighting you can save much money employing efficient light sources. Another big energy guzzler is the appliances that are purchased ranging from a refrigerator to the dryer. A small investment upfront will soon be returned in savings.
Dan is happily married to Eva. They received and have maintained an unlimited general contracting license and are insured. Each home that has been constructed has been certified by Energy Star and North Carolina Healthy Built Home programs to provide our clients with proof that our construction techniques provide a home that is at least 20% more efficient than local, state, and federal government mandates. Majestic Estate Builder LLC is a member of the Better Business Bureau, Asheville Home Builders Association, and Western North Carolina Green Building Council.
