Environmentally sustainable design and construction involves buildings being designed and built with sustainable materials appropriate to the location, and the finished buildings being efficient to run and pleasant to occupy.
It also extends to Whole of Life considerations: ensuring that the environmental impact of the building in the longer term is considered from the design stage, including maintenance, energy efficiency, durability, resource use, waste management and building siting.
Successful environmentally sustainable design and construction involves close cooperation between the client, designers, consultants and contractor at all stages of the project. Site teams in particular need to continually challenge themselves to both use resources in the most sustainable way possible.
We are fully engaged in sustainable thinking through design and construction, and enjoy the close collaboration and opportunities for innovation inherent in these projects.
