About Us

• Jimmy Carchiettas strong passion for green and
  energy-efficient buildings is rooted in his love
  and devotion to his family and his 25 years plus
  of experience in large-scale contracting. As an
  infant, Carchiettas eldest son was diagnosed
  with a rare cancer,attributed to environmental
  contamination on Long Island. This crisis
  radicalized Carchiettas consciousness and put
  him on the path to creating the Cotocon Group.
  He encountered a renewed sense of responsibility
  for the environment that would extend to not only
  his children but the world we would all inherit.
  He clearly saw what he, with his practical
  real-world building experience was destined to
  accomplish and made a decision to enter and
  contribute towards a greener built environment.
