Materials Selection
7group’s extensive familiarity with sustainable materials, and knowledge of their environmental impacts, helps us guide project teams in making smart materials choices. Providing current research on a wide variety of materials and new technologies in order to help meet LEED goals, as well as information on sourcing these materials locally and regionally, allows 7group to direct project teams toward optimal materials selections and strategies.
Construction Waste Management
A key operational challenge for any construction project is managing waste; sustainable thinking approaches this challenge by looking at the construction waste stream as a series of products with destinations. A waste management plan systematizes the efficient handling and diversion of waste, and can even help project teams capitalize on waste management strategies. For example, on-site separation of waste materials using multiple containers and bundling can produce marketable materials, cut tipping fees, or even allow processing for reuse on the current site or at other jobs. 7group’s experience developing a variety of waste management plans allows us to create plans suiting any number of specific needs.
Specifications for Sustainability
Whether it is low VOC paints, recycled-content steel, or FSC certified wood products, 7group can assist in formulating green specifications and integrating LEED documentation needs into specification language.
