Construction

‘Green Construction’ can mean different things to different people. Sustainable design and construction may focus on
the latest eco-friendly materials and renewable energy opportunities. It may also, however, simply mean conducting
a project in a responsible manner that maximizes the use
of salvaged and reclaimed materials. That said, a green
project, contrary to what some people may think, can be more affordable than traditional construction and renovation projects.

Our construction division is responsible for new construction, renovations, and remodels of most any size, serving residential and commercial markets in the Washington, DC area. During every construction project, we are careful to utilize products and practices that maximize indoor air quality, incorporate regional, sustainable, and recycled materials, and reduce
long-term energy usage and costs.

Construction services include:

General Contracting

New construction and renovation for residences and commercial interiors.

Construction Design and Materials Assessment

Thoughtful review of project layout and materials that meet budget and environmental goals.

Conceptual Construction Planning, Including Cost Estimating

A critical element of the construction process is pre-construction.  The goal is to develop a budget and minimize risks
associated with change orders, permitting, and project-specific ‘unknowns.'

Construction Project Management

As our clients’ representative, this includes contract administration, developing and executing project scheduling,
sub-contractor management, and risk management.

Deconstruction and Demolition

As part of every project, we work to reduce waste and landfill debris by salvaging and recycling materials to the
fullest degree possible.

Decorative Services, Including Painting, Plastering, Wall Treatments

Leveraging materials that promote healthy indoor air quality with minimal toxicity, these services are critical to the final product.
