Build Fast. Build Prefab. There are all kinds of choices to make, from raw SIPS to wall section systems to fully finished Pre-site construction. What works well in one situation, may not be a good fit for a different set up.
What is Green?
Everybody Says They are "Green"...Here is What We Mean When We Say It.
We are dedicated to finding ways to illustrate the Green aspects of your organization. Even the lowly public restroom can become an expression of your green mission.
Energy:
(passive lighting, solar panels, compact fluorescent bulbs, motion sensor lighting, tankless water heater, biodiesel backup generator, bicycle crank generator, wind power)
Water:
(waterless urinals, low flow and no flush toilet options, tankless water heater, faucet aereator, motion sensor faucets site-specific grey water / rain water options)
Materials
(Adaptive reuse of shipping container & wall options, low or no VOC paints and finishes. We search out opportunities to directly recycle materials, or to use sustainable / green materials.)
Waste
(Reduce construction waste by building off-site. We reduce waste through optimizing our design, and we recycle all production related waste)
