Sustainability
By working closely with procurement schedules, material submittals, and approvals, we ensure all materials — including timber and steel — are procured in a sustainable manner in line with FSC/PEFC standards.
Sustainable Procurement
We work closely with procurement schedules, material submittals, and approval processes to ensure that all materials are responsibly sourced, with timber and other key products procured in accordance with FSC® and PEFC certification standards wherever applicable.
We work with products that minimise consumption of energy, water and non-renewable resources, while minimising the amounts of pollution resulting from the production and employment of building technologies.
We will work closely with
The Client
In-house
Procurement teams
to ensure the correct materials are procured in line with LEED/WELL and legislative requirements.
As part of LEED requirements, we request EPDs (Environmental Product Declaration) which will demonstrate the environmental performance of a product and can be used to compare construction products at a building context level. A move towards procuring cleaner, more efficient plant and machinery that produce lower emissions will be adapted. Working with suppliers who are supplying dust and noise reduction equipment a much more environmentally friendly approach can be taken to carrying out works.
Waste Management:
Effective waste management is an integral part of our commitment to sustainable construction. For every project, we develop a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) to identify anticipated waste streams, establish responsible disposal methods, and ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and industry best practice.
Working closely with our supply chain partners, we continually seek opportunities to reduce waste through careful planning, efficient procurement, and by applying the principles of the waste hierarchy—prioritising prevention, reuse, and recycling wherever possible. Materials are only disposed of as a last resort when they cannot be safely reused or recycled.
To maintain high standards on site, clearly labelled waste segregation facilities are provided, and regular monitoring is carried out to ensure waste is correctly separated, minimise contamination, and maximise recycling rates.
Some initiatives we are currently putting in place
Moving energy provider to 100% renewables in our head office
Installed energy efficient plant and equipment
Reduced use of generators
Reduce paper usage and printing - Document Management Software – Use of IPADS onsite
Electric Plant on site
Hybrid/Electric Company Fleet, encourage bike to work schemes and car pooling were necessary.
