We believe sustainable construction is more than a certification
For us, sustainability is a commitment to our clients, the people we build for, and the communities that surround them. We partner with owners early to help shape decisions about site, systems, and materials, and to weigh how and where those choices carry the most value. Done well, those early choices lower operating costs, reduce waste, and deliver lasting value for everyone who uses the space.
THE STANDARD WE BUILD BY
Putting that commitment into practice starts long before construction does. We bring our teams, trade partners, and owners together early to plan how a project comes together, reducing waste, controlling costs, and keeping quality high at every phase.
FOR MEYER NAJEM.
Our own headquarters in Fishers, Indiana, is LEED Silver, because we build to the same standards we recommend to our clients.
FOR YOUR COMMUNITY.
Our sustainable approach to construction sometimes means restoring what may have been lost.
Sandorf Park was built on a 1930s industrial landfill that left the grounds with high levels of lead and arsenic. We partnered with the City of Indianapolis, Indy Parks, and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to remediate the site, reopening it in 2020 as a thriving community park.
FOR YOUR PATIENTS.
Our sustainable approach to construction means we partner to construct healthier places to heal.
For Community Health Network, we delivered a LEED Gold emergency department addition built around efficiency and indoor environmental quality. It shows how we partner with healthcare clients to create high-performing spaces for patients, families, and caregivers.
FOR YOUR COMPANY.
As a sustainable construction manager, we partner to build for the long term.
At the Endress+Hauser Innovation Center, we construction a geothermal loop with on-site solar to reduce energy demand and operating costs. Pursuing LEED Gold, it reflects how we partner with clients to invest in performance that pays back for decades.
