Even the ideal design for an environmentally sustainable building is only as good as the construction, turning plans into a real-world structure and contributing to carbon reduction goals. Ideally, contractors collaborate with other professionals during the design phase and provide important real-world input concerning factors like the selection of innovative suppliers, innovative low-carbon producing materials, opportunities for waste reduction, and more.

When construction starts, the contractor can reduce a project’s carbon emissions even more through environmentally sustainable activities. The contractor ensures design intentions are met and has the power to reduce greenhouse emissions beyond the building design through supplier selection and onsite construction activities. Ultimately, the goal is to embed Life Cycle Assessment in every project.
