A commercial & industrial general contractor · Est. 1998
S-05 Sustainability
Certification belongs to the building and its owner — what a contractor contributes is measurement, procurement discipline and a site that practices what the drawings preach. Here is what we actually do, on every project, whether or not a plaque is planned.
G-01 What we actually do
P-01
LEED-accredited professionals on our precon and field staff manage credit documentation, materials tracking and construction-phase prerequisites for projects pursuing LEED, WELL or state green codes. The certification is the owner's; the paper trail is ours to build properly.
P-02
Sorted on-site or through certified recovery facilities, with diversion tracked monthly and reported alongside cost. Our portfolio target is 75% diversion from landfill; we report the real number for each project, including when we miss.
P-03
As a self-perform concrete contractor we control mix designs directly: supplementary cementitious materials, optimized cement contents and performance-based specs — verified against the structural engineer's requirements, never at their expense.
P-04
We schedule commissioning as a construction phase with its own float, host the commissioning agent from mid-construction, and close every issue in a tracked log before turnover — because a high-performance design only performs if it is started up properly.
P-05
During precon we price envelope and mechanical alternatives against the design team's energy model, so owners choose between real options with real costs — not aspirations.
P-06
Idle-reduction policy for equipment, dust and stormwater controls beyond permit minimums, and electric small equipment where duty cycles allow. Ordinary discipline, applied daily.
What you won't find here: certifications we don't hold, offsets we didn't buy, or a leaf logo doing the work a hauler's weight ticket should. When a project of ours earns a rating, the owner announces it — it's their building and their plaque.
G-02 Tracked on every job
| Metric | How it's verified |
|---|---|
| Waste diversion rate | Monthly, per project, hauler-verified tickets |
| Concrete embodied carbon | Mix-design EPDs collected for every structural pour |
| Commissioning issue closure | Tracked log, 100% closure before turnover |
| Regional material sourcing | Documented for projects pursuing credits |
Portfolio waste-diversion target: 75% from landfill. We report each project's real number — including the two projects last year that came in under target, and what changed because they did. (Fictional figures; honest format.)
Start / Bid room
Bring it up at the first precon meeting, not the last. Credit strategy is cheapest when the estimate is still wet — tell the configurator and we'll staff the response accordingly.
