Sustainable Construction

It’s in the bedrock of who we are.

“Sustainability” is one of the most popular, albeit least understood, terms in our industry. Its meaning is often obscured by differing interpretations or when it’s treated like a ‘check’ on a sustainability checklist. At SBBCC, environmental stewardship is critical. Whenever possible, we use green building practices and exceed what’s required by the standard. For us, “going green” isn’t a trend; it’s in the bedrock of who we are.

At SBBCC, sustainable construction involves:

  • Design and construction of buildings
  • Best value analysis – Evaluation of material performance
  • Reduced waste – Improve construction technologies and processes
  • Commissioning – Energy and resource efficiency in buildings
  • Constructability – Operation and maintenance improvements
  • Materials reuse/Recycling – Transferability of embodied energy
  • Integrated Design Process – Owner/Stakeholder participation
  • Indoor Environmental Quality – Healthy and safe working conditions
  • Innovative Life Cycle Cost Analysis models
  • Building Information Modeling (BIM) – Synergies between infrastructure, energy, and architecture
  • Reduced carbon footprint – Flexibility in building design with respect to future use, function or change

At SBBCC, we ensure the practical use and management of natural resources throughout their life cycle. Long-term environmental concerns about the stock and flow of material and energy are an integral part of our mission to be good stewards of the environment. To that end, our goal is to create buildings that meet the present day needs of the built environment without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This philosophy incorporates elements of construction, engineering, economics, environmental stewardship, and civic accountability. They all contribute to architectural integrity, technical innovation and transferability in the design and construction process.
