When Building a healthy home, the following are some tips for you to follow -

-       Double check the materials list when you actually start building.  I would also sample the materials to make sure you don’t react to them.  On paper something might look good, but you never know until you receive it.

Make sure all smoking and anything else that could be toxic to the materials is done away from the home.

If you suspect rain or moisture, make sure all materials are covered ahead of time to prevent water damage.

Make sure you know every single person who is going to be involved in the building process and make sure they are all on the same page with the build to prevent any lacks in judgment or containment.

Go over the process with your contractor step by step on the building process.

Test and double check, including moisture resistance, and as mentioned before, the actual materials.

Make sure you off gas correctly after the build is finished, here is a great link on ways to off gas safely.
