We develop comprehensive sustainable strategies for
each project that go far beyond a checklist.
Our experience with different building types and construction methodologies has allowed us to explore
every facet of the process and arrive at solutions that are financially and environmentally responsible.
We are constantly striving for innovative solutions and efficiencies for our projects. |
Strategies and research:
- Infill and brownfield development
- Adaptive reuse of existing structures
-
Reduction of energy demand through passive methods
- Localized materials
- Efficient construction scheduling
- Reduction and recycling of construction waste
- Minimizing site disturbance
- Innovative mechanical systems, controls and design
- Panelized and controlled environment built components |

There have been some fantastic advancements in materials as of late. Manufacturers are understanding the importance of providing a new generation of products for a new design and building environment.
We review and evaluate materials based on project goals and internal goals for sustainability and best practices and continually
find new uses for materials that meet these goals. |
Strategies and research:
- Energy efficiency- both produced and installed
- Best possible indoor air quality
- Ease of workability for contractors
- Durability and long term life cycles
- Replacement costs and options
- Availability and budget considerations

Making all of the pieces work together is the part of the job where we exel. We believe that the construction of the building is not included in the sustainability discussion as prominently as it should.
|
Strategies and research:
- Minimize jobsite deliveries and extended staging
- Utilization of local/recycled/recycled content materials
-
Efficient/modular structural design
- Readily available workforce skillsets
- Efficient project scheduling and minimum downtime
