Utilization of renewable resources and techniques is key to demonstrating your firm's commitment to preserving the environment and respecting the needs and desires of our global society. Moreover, Green building techniques offer long-term economic benefits to the end users, owners, government and society.

Recent examples the world became aware of were at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China where the Olympic Village temporary housing complex for 17,000 athletes earned LEED Gold Certification.

The incorporation of environmentally friendly building materials utilized in the construction of the entire complex have enabled the people of China to recognize the methods, techniques and materials used for long-tem benefits.

The benefits of a LEED certified building are many and include but are not limited to:

  • Brand enhancement and recognition for being a progressive builder or owner
  • Lower building operating cost
  • Conservation of water
  • Conservation of energy
  • Reduced carbon emissions
  • Qualify for tax rebates

General Contractors with a rich history in construction understand the life source of their business has always been their commercial or government customer and subcontractors.

Initially, communications with all parties involved the U.S. Mail and messenger service and countless hours of administrative time and reams of paper.

In fact, so much paper was utilized in commercial construction that one typical sky scrapper required up to 250 Banker Storage cartons and multiple racks to hold the countless revisions of blue prints. Moreover, telephone calls between all parties was cumbersome and many times critical points of information were mis-communicated.

Thus, delays occurred and or purchasing of more labor and materials occurred and cost overruns were passed through or worse; absorbed by the GC.

With the the advent of the mass produced facsimile machine in the 1970's, which from Latin facsimile translates into  "make similar", the facsimile machine enabled parties with this equipment to realize time savings. However, paper still dominated the industry. Contact Us>

Finally, in the early 90's a new medium was developed and slowly transmitting information via the Internet became acceptable and trusted. In addition, with the development of new technology and software tools and expansion of broadband transport, data and time management efficiencies were recognized and embraced by the industry.

The future looks promising and  the construction industry continues to incorporate best practices on a daily basis. Contact Us>
