Kiefer Built Contracting is honored to announce that its latest project in Red Feather Lakes has won the Single Family Homes under 3,000 sq. ft. category in the 2025 SIPA Building Excellence Awards.

A commitment to sustainable excellence
The SIPA Building Excellence Awards celebrate projects that go beyond traditional construction methods to achieve superior energy performance and durability. This recognition places Kiefer Built Contracting at the forefront of modern, high-performance homebuilding.
“SIPs offer a game-changing solution for energy efficiency and structural integrity,” says Mark Kiefer, owner of Kiefer Built Contracting. “Winning this award highlights our commitment to sustainable homebuilding and reinforces our dedication to delivering cutting-edge, energy-efficient homes.”
Built to Perform with Kiefer Built Contracting
Energy efficiency is the key to creating comfortable, structurally sound living spaces
Mark Kiefer grew up on a farm in Iowa and learned early on that we, as humans, are responsible for the resources we have and what we leave behind for future generations. Now the Windsor-based custom home builder has decades of experience in the construction industry and prioritizes sustainability in every one of his projects.
The family-owned and -operated business, Kiefer Built Contracting, won a 2025 SIPA Building Excellence Award for a home they built in Red Feather Lakes that far exceeds industry standards for energy efficiency. Like Kiefer’s other builds, the home is constructed with structural insulated panels (SIPs)—styrofoam sandwiched between two pieces of oriented strand board (OSB)—which make it twice as strong and twice as energy efficient as a stick-build house.
