| Sustainable Construction |
| Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy use in the United States and contribute
136 million tons of construction debris to landfills annually. Breaking Ground Contracting
Company has made a passionate commitment to sustainable construction and provides
education and consulting on projects seeking LEED certification. Through our monthly
LEED Lunch and Learns, we ensure that our specialty and subcontractors are up to
speed on new technologies and sustainable procedures so that each member of the
construction team is contributing to your green building goals. We have LEED Accredited
Professionals on staff to assist with the documentation process and answer questions
you or your design team may have on seeking certification. Breaking Ground also
incorporates sustainable construction practices into our standard operating procedures
by implementing construction pollution prevention plans, waste management procedures
,and construction IAQ Management plans. Whenever possible, we reuse and recycle
construction debris, source low- or no-voc paints, adhesives, and sealants, and
encourage our specialty and subcontractors to do the same. Having a general contractor
that is well-educated and passionate about sustainability is the key to success
on LEED projects. |
