Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
We build in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations with respect to waste, air emissions and hazardous materials. We focus on the following principles of sustainable construction:
- Conservation
- Reuse
- Recycling
- Protection of the natural environment
- Use of non-toxic materials
- High quality
Our goal is to reduce impact on the environment by using sustainable practices, and employing green technology and energy efficiency wherever possible. We implement construction techniques that reduce consumption of heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting. We apply good energy efficient practices to every part of the process.
In addition, sustainability pays off because. Building with sustainable design and efficient construction results in not only the reduction of operating costs but also provides long-term value.

Process
A great amount of time and effort goes into the development of plans and specifications in order to provide exactly what is required. We are dedicated to finding cost-effective solutions when necessary without sacrificing quality or functionality.
We begin with conceptual development, taking clients’ goals, ideas and requirements into consideration to make them a reality. The steps include site inspections and analyses, conceptual drawings and program development. Our team collaborates with clients throughout this process to review every last detail. The next step is project development. This includes creating a preliminary design, establishing and finalizing a budget, developing an initial schedule, and preparing construction documents. We then provide a master plan, a comprehensive document that includes architectural drawings outlining what our builders will construct. It lays out the space’s allocation and usage and provides a blueprint for possible future expansion. Our floor plan is one of the most important parts of the design process, taking into account the client’s core objectives and how to best accommodate staff as well as patients and their families. It includes the medical facility’s footprint and configuration of the construction site, and addresses patient safety, the medical services offered, the size of staff and the building’s aesthetics.
Because setting expectations and creating solutions are important aspects of every healthcare construction project, a long-term plan is prepared to support the facility over the course of its lifecycle, which could be a long as fifty years.
commercial and industrial projects
Levels of Commercial Construction
Small-scale
Smaller projects include office space redesigns, structural updates, building repairs and adding extensions. These kinds of projects typically are less costly. Medium-scale
Medium-scale
Medium scale commercial construction projects are more time consuming projects that involve more resources. They include expansions and additional structures, remodels and restructures.
Large-scale
Large-scale commercial construction projects where there is no existing structure, so we start from the ground up. Our crew works with a developer or architect to create a new building based on the owners’ vision. These are the most time consuming projects, requiring the most preparation and time.
