Over view
GREENPEAKC4 (GPC4) is a high performance construction firm that believes it is critical to interweave the key elements of Construction methods, Energy Management, Design Integration and Sustainability into the way buildings are built and operated. Using a holistic approach we promote true collaboration within the construction team and ownership throughout the construction process. The approach delivers the value that owners demand along with the environment people need to do their best work and live their lives in comfort in the buildings they occupy.
The project methodology we use incorporates a matrix that segments each project into 4 building categories: construction, energy, design and compliance.
Applying our matrix to each project we incorporate best construction practices and team collaboration. We also consider whether there are newer and better building technologies, methods and materials we can use in the project to produce a modern, high performance building that minimize energy usage and environmental impact. Our approach creates a roadmap for successful completion of each building project we manage.
The GPC4 team of seasoned professionals includes specialists in project management, technical services, energy systems design and management, engineering, design, environment, building processes and operations, compliance, life cycle costing, sustainability, cutting edge building methods and innovative technologies. It has the experience and the resources to deliver the services you expect from more heavily branded construction companies but with GPC4 you do not sacrifice the intimacy you are looking for and appreciate.
The climate within the building industry is continually changing. Building codes are more stringent and focused on sustainability while owners are more driven by microeconomic considerations. They want more value for every dollar they spend on their building projects. In other words, value, performance, compliance and sustainability have become the driving forces in construction and building operations. We understand success.
At GPC4 everything we do for our clients is considered mission critical. The goal of every member of GPC4 is to meet or exceed the client’s expectations and objectives.

Ser vices
At GreenPeak C4, high performance construction consists of the integration and overlapping of many key components. This is what makes up the C4 and is the basis of our services; Construction, Energy, Design, and Compliance. In an effort to provide the comprehensive suite of Construction Management and General Contractor services necessary to support the project, GreenPeak C4 provides:
Construction & Pre-Construction Management Services
At GreenPeak C4, we consider the Pre-Construction and planning phase to be of the utmost importance to the execution of a successful project. It is during this phase that critical planning, scheduling, budgeting, value engineering and quality decisions are made that will have a significant impact upon construction and the final building product.
GreenPeak C4 takes pride in the fact that we are able to energize and guide the pre- construction process by interfacing our staff fully with the owner, architect, engineer and consultants to provide a genuine team effort. Professionally done, pre-construction lays the foundation for a successful project. By facilitating the process of master planning and integrating design and construction activities, we not only facilitate and speed the process but also create a communication stream that provides the project team with accurate and timely information.
Estimating
GreenPeak C4’s Technical Services Group has the capability to provide comprehensive, detailed estimates throughout the entire design process. This will ensure that the project falls within the approved budget. Estimates are produced in house for all trades, including the mechanical and electrical specialties. This gives us greater control, especially during the earlier estimates, as we do not rely on outside subcontractor input for important cost information. The Technical Services Group utilizes a regional cost history database and a computerized estimating system to assist in the preparation of cost estimates. Our cost estimates can be provided in any format, so that everyone, including non- technical people, can understand the estimate. To aide in the understanding of the estimate, a narrative describing, in detail, exactly what is included is provided.
The Technical Services Group will develop pre- construction phase estimates during the project design development phase. At the completion of construction documents a final estimate will be produced to confirm all earlier assumptions. The budgeting information produced will assist with the establishment/verification of owner budgets, control re- design costs and develop early level detail in the absence of drawings and specifications.

Pre-Construction Phase
During this period, before any drawings or specifications are produced, GreenPeakC4’s Technical Services Group will inspect each site and evaluate the scope of work contemplated to confirm budgeting and scheduling assumptions. For each element of the work, suggestions will be made identifying materials, construction duration and potential costs. Alternates, a “shopping list”, for each work element will be proposed, so that decisions can be made early and the construction budget and schedule confirmed. In providing this service, we will work very closely with the design group and the owner/owner’s designated representatives.
Early Project Design Development Phase
Early in the design process, while material alternatives are being considered, the Technical Services Group will produce a conceptual budget, based on preliminary design specification outlines and “single line’ drawings. The conceptual budget is prepared using the most current cost data accessed through GreenPeakC4’s regional cost database of trade pricing and unit costs.
Project Design Development Phase
This phase evaluates/defines design issues and delivers a preliminary specification for all building systems and enhancement of the drawings. Based on the schematic criteria, GreenPeakC4 will prepare quantity surveys and trade pricing. This updated budget will enable the design team and GreenPeakC4 to track and assess the project as it is currently designed, and to employ value-engineering techniques as required.
As the drawings and specifications become more developed and embellished with additional detail, the quantities and pricing become more refined, allowing greater flexibility to the design team and GreenPeakC4 to control costs and implementation of value engineering suggestions. Construction methods and techniques are reviewed to minimize cost impact, if any, and initiate preliminary discussions for subsequent bid packages.
Construction Document Phase
This phase will incorporate all value engineering studies, design changes, and other suggestions, in order to produce 100% specifications and drawings that will be indicative of the project, as it exists to date. The verification of these documents will be achieved by the solicitation of subcontractor proposals for all trades, as well as a complete cost estimate. During this phase, we continue to refine phasing and logistics plans, and construction schedules; develop the contracting method; and define specific contract packages. Our final estimate includes an in-depth narrative that clearly defines project scope, the document list, defined assumptions, clarifications and allowances utilized, in addition to general conditions, special conditions and temporary facilities costs.

Value Engineering
Through years of hands-on construction experience, continuing research and development of new building products and techniques, value engineering and value management has become an integral facet of all of GreenPeakC4 development and construction services. Throughout the duration of every project, our technical specialists will assess the design and construction planning to ensure improvement in quality and cost of client facilities.
Based on innovation and creativity, the value engineering process examines all building products, systems and program functions to determine viable alternatives as they relate to cost savings, constructability, life cycle costs, schedule impact, quality control and aesthetic merit.
These alternatives and modifications are achieved without reducing functionality and original design intent and are tracked with establishment of a value engineering log. GreenPeakC4’s value engineering process does not provide simple cost cutting, as this lowers quality and/or reduces scope. Rather, GreenPeakC4 seeks to improve the quality of a project, while eliminating unnecessary costs. GreenPeakC4 strength in value engineering remains a significant factor in our delivery of the highest quality and most efficient projects.
Planning
We are particularly proud of planning effort. We compile a construction execution plan for each project. This workplan takes into consideration: project objectives, budget, purchasing strategy, schedule, material handling, personnel access, temporary facilities, and overall site logistics. We plan the total job at the beginning, and most importantly before construction.
Planning is not a one-time event, and must be continued throughout the project. The plan is updated as often as is necessary.
The project schedule is a key component of the overall plan. Our scheduling effort is very closely tied to the overall design completion. We have the experience to predict project durations based on very early information. As the design progresses, we can update and provide more detailed information, ensuring timely completion of scheduled tasks.
Scheduling Management
Accurate scheduling of labor and material deliveries to this project may be the most critical cost control step taken. We will provide a Master CPM Schedule for the Pre- Construction and Construction Phases of this project. We will monitor and report on its progress and make recommendations to improve upon the schedule as the documents and information are developed. It will be our intent to include within the Master CPM Schedule time frames for submitting and approving shop drawings, samples, and lead time requirements for materials and equipment.
The Master CPM Schedule will be set up in such a manner that those responsible for administering the schedule will be able to monitor the progress and cost trend of the project. This information will be used to make recommendations for implementing improvements. The preparation of the schedule is assigned to the Project Manager. The Project Manager consults with the Project Team for pertinent specialty experience.
Staff meetings are held throughout the Pre-Construction Phase in order to formulate a detailed Master CPM Schedule that will accurately forecast the construction duration. This schedule is critical for a forecast of the total cost of the project. We utilize “Primavera Scheduling System”, but will provide schedules based on other specific programs or formats preferred by the Owners. The Decisions/Issues Management System will be linked to the scheduling system so progress and milestones will be posted and tracked.


Ser vices
Construction Phase Services
Proactively planning the construction efforts from the earliest days of scope development and design through the pre-construction phase consistently results in better cost control, schedule control, and quality control throughout the remainder of the job. Solid management of all aspects of the construction process is the continuation and the successful culmination of that effort - something GreenPeakC4 excels at. Construction phase services include all activities involved in coordinating and managing the construction to a successful conclusion.
Permit Acquisition
Early in the Pre-Construction Phase we will begin the processes for obtaining all the permits required in the construction of the project.As the documents are being finalized and the dates for putting out the contractor bids are set, our Project Manager will coordinate with the Architect for the filing of the applications for the pre- construction approvals. Once the documents are completed, the Project Manager will assist the Architect in getting the plans filed and the necessary permits drawn.
Construction Phase-In
Toward the end of the pre-construction stage, the Project Executive shall supervise the phase-in of the Construction Phase Staff. In-house meetings shall be held in order to integrate the efforts of the Pre-Construction Staff with the Construction Phase Staff. Utilizing the Project Manager throughout the Design Phase will allow for an easy transition to the Construction Phase.
Contract Awards
Before the documents (plans, specifications, general conditions, etc.) are issued for bid we will:
n Review the final drawings and specifications prepared by the Architect/Engineer
n Advise on the scope of each bid package n Recommend the inclusion of certain unit
prices in the final documents
n Recommend potential bidders and focus on MBE/WBE participation in the bidding process
After the bids are submitted we will:
n Review for accuracy and completeness
n Create a bid analysis chart summarizing the bids, alternates, and exceptions
n Assist in obtaining the construction contract awards and notices to proceed
n Elicit and review insurance certificates, bonds and other pertinent contract materials for winning bidder
n Negotiate the Trade Payment Breakdown, exceptions to the schedule, and establish the Site Mobilization Plan

Management, Communication and Reporting Systems
As there are many players in the Construction Process, it is critical that personnel assigned to the project be able to work together as an efficient unit. Prior to actual site mobilization and in a cooperative effort with the Project Team, we will prepare and distribute to all management personnel a Project Procedures Manual describing the Project and the Management Systems to be used.The Project Team will formulate these procedures and systems through a series of in- house meetings.
The Procedures Manual will layout the organizational structure, provide forms, describe systems necessary for the management of the project.The manual will also provide methods and systems for shop drawing processing, testing and inspections, safety management, change order processing, requisition processing, communication management, an Affirmative Action Plan, and quality control.
If the Owner’s on-site personnel desire linkage into the Management Information System, it can be accomplished through the use of Prolog Project talk.This policy can allow the ProjectTeam to communicate freely and to work faster, as requests for information from all the systems will be able to be accessed directly by all personnel. In addition, we will prepare a monthly project report that incorporates documentation of the status of the schedule, cost, cash flow, requisitions, requests for information, change orders and safety program.
Coordination with the successful Contractors will begin upon selection, starting with a series of meetings to achieve site mobilization at the earliest possible time. During mobilization a weekly meeting schedule will be established for coordinating the efforts of the ProjectTeam and the Contractors.
Procurement
GreenPeakC4's philosophy of procurement as a Construction Manager is to apply the purchasing strength and experience of the company to the partnership with the Owner to obtain the best trade construction talent at the best possible price. All subcontract bidding and award procedures are open book with the Owner.This includes establishing bid lists, preparing bid packages, bid analysis, trade scope review meetings with the contractors, and contract award. Recognizing that all members of the ProjectTeam have valuable experience to contribute to the procurement process.
The importance of the construction schedule to the project necessitates a procurement plan that starts with the pre-purchase of long lead materials and equipment and follows through with a contract award schedule that supports the overall schedule. Equally important is design management that integrates the design document deliverables with the procurement plan.
PASKR GPC4 Project Management Suite
During the Construction Phase of the project our management team will utilize computer programs to administer all aspects of the work:
n Submittal processing
n Change order management
n Scheduling requisition processing n Cost control
n Issues management
Total job documentation will be managed through use of an on-site Prolog software package.


Ser vices
Pre-purchasing and early bid document packages should focus on the long lead items identified in the pre- construction phase to ensure that the material and equipment is available safely in advance of the need onsite.
For each of these critical building elements the contract awards must be in accordance with the procurement plan to ensure that shop drawing approvals, mock-ups and tests, and fabrication are completed so that delivery to the job meets schedule.
In addition to the pre-purchasing effort, the packaging of the remaining trades must be organized such that trades, which are dependent on each other for coordination and construction sequence, are purchased at the right time and in the proper order.
Controlled Inspection / Permits
We are very familiar with the regulatory controlled inspections and permits required. Not only through our Construction Management and General Contractor experience, but also from having experienced the process through our own development projects.We will coordinate and monitor all the controlled inspections provided by others as required by the building codes and regulations.We will assist in the bidding process for the purchase of these controlled inspections.The management and scheduling of the controlled inspection firms will be through our site office supervisory staff.
Contract Compliance / Quality Assurance Control Program
The most visible function of the Construction Manager is making sure that the contract documents are complied with and that the building components, materials and equipment are installed in the manner that the Owner intended to create.To this end, we will have an experienced construction staff on-site to ensure the work is being performed properly. Materials stored on and off- site will be inspected and checked against approved submissions. Deficiencies found will be logged into the Issues Management System for tracking and resolution.
To avoid deficiencies and provide quality work the first time is to employ and strictly enforce a sound Quality Assurance Program.
When sections of the work have progressed to substantial completion, they will be punchlisted.The spreading out of the punchlist procedure over the duration of the project ensures that, for example, issues arising during the erection of the superstructure will not be left for correction until after the finished walls are installed. Items that are not resolved promptly and to the Project Team’s satisfaction, will be brought up in job meetings, tracked in correspondence logs, valued from the Punchlist System, and possibly held against the requisition.When the entire project is deemed substantially complete a final punchlist will be developed with the Design Consultants.This document will then become the starting point of the Close-Out Procedure.
Site Safety
While it will be the various Contractors’ responsibility to provide their own Project Safety Program, it will be the Construction Manager’s duty to see that the program is correct and adhered to. Our personnel are well versed in OSHA’s - Occupational Safety and Health Standards - for the Construction Industry (29 CFR 1926). It is in the best interests of the Owner, the Contractors, and the workers that the project is always as safe an environment in which to work as possible. Our staff will oversee the entire Site Safety Process.
We place a strong emphasis on regular Site Safety Inspections, and meetings where deficiencies are investigated, and corrected in as short a time as possible. The GreenPeak C4 Program remains one of the most significantly successful in the New York area. (The national average EMR is 1.00; GreenPeak C4 is substantially below the national average.)


Ser vices
Requisitions / Change Orders
Difficulties in payments and disputes over values are a prime cause of construction delays.We will address this problem by establishing the payment protocol in the construction documents and by orientating the Contractors to the procedure to be followed before the first requisition or change order is submitted.We will meet with the Owner’s personnel in charge of the process to develop a full understanding of all the requirements that must be met.We will then develop and issue a checklist for requisitions and change orders that must be completed before either of these items will be accepted for processing.
The best way to handle change orders is to act immediately and start a file the moment it appears a change to the work may be required.At that point the issue is entered into the Computer Management System and any information regarding the issue is recorded.
A careful evaluation of the condition is made; contract plans and specifications reviewed, and then an initial determination as to its validity and assignability will be performed. If it appears to be valid or marginally so, a cost analysis will be performed.
This analysis then becomes the basis for negotiation and will be included in any additional costs transmitted to the Owner. If it is agreed that the claim is valid, we will write the change order, package the pertinent backup as attachments, ensure that the checklist is complete, enter it into the system, and transmit the change order to the Owner.The change orders will then be tracked through the process until they are executed and payable under the requisition.
As-Built Drawings
GreenPeakC4 will assemble, compile record documentation for the completed project and turn over to the owner all as-built documentation, including record drawings, equipment manuals, warranties, guarantees and certifications, etc.
Cost Control
Throughout the course of the construction one of our most important duties is to track and report the status of the projected final cost of the project.The Projected Final Cost Report (PFCR) is the summary project report that tracks the Final Buyouts and General Conditions Estimate (Final Cost) on a line item basis.This report tracks these costs and approved changes against total projected cost resulting in a savings or overrun.These Cost Control Reports are prepared on a monthly basis to the Owner and regularly scheduled meetings are held to discuss the status of the costs. GreenPeakC4 aggressively pursues necessary follow-up action.

Start Up & Commissioning Activities
A detailed start-up and commissioning plan will be established to define procedures for completion and start- up of the various equipment and specialized systems. Our goal is to ensure the orderly progress of the project’s completion and start-up work within the established schedule to avoid disruption to any existing operations and to document the inspection, testing, demonstration and acceptance of each system.
A smooth start-up, commissioning and completion process is necessary to achieve Summit Medical Group’s occupancy goals. Our responsibilities for systems commissioning and start- up typically include:
n Coordinate the commissioning activities with construction activities
n Monitor and control commissioning schedules, providing appropriate reports to NYC Parks and Recreation Dept.
n Provide design and construction schedules to the commissioning team so that material delivery dates and system installation projections are known
n Obtain and distribute all necessary documentation from subcontractors and suppliers (including but not limited to O&M manuals and “As-Built” drawings)
n Maintain commissioning files, records, test data, drawings and manuals for transfer to NYC Parks and Recreation Dept. upon completion of commissioning
n Review all procedures to assure that references to standards, testing criteria and documentation requirements are consistent with the project design documents
n Assure availability of appropriate subcontractor personnel during onsite testing, start-up and personnel training
Project Close-Out
All of our management staff is familiar with our standard project closeout methodology as described in our corporate “Project Procedures Manual”. In this manual we provide a close-out check list which includes such items as obtaining as-built drawings from contractors, filing for and obtaining Certificate of Occupancy, turning over operating manuals to the Owner, completion of punchlist, closing out change orders and turning over the building keys.These issues will be itemized and tracked by our staff, so that we can complete the project in a smooth transition as the Owner takes over and occupies the new construction.

Energy
Environmental Controls
Building controls are one of the most overlooked and underrated systems in commercial and institutional buildings. Inadequate building control systems can lead to 50% higher energy costs and add 25% more to a building's operations and maintenance budgets. GreenPeak C4's energy team looks at four specific areas related to controls: HVAC, Lighting, Plug Loads and Metering and Feedback.
The HVAC system is a natural target for improvement. Because HVAC equipment is increasing in efficiency there are savings to be gained from simple equipment swaps in existing buildings and substantial savings that can be obtained in lifecycle costs for new and existing buildings.
GreenPeak C4's energy team can conduct an early energy utilization analysis of plans for a new building project or the plans for a renovation or expansion project for an existing building. It can identify where savings would be achieved from the use of new environmental system with improved configurations, better recovery and more sophisticated controls.They can also conduct an energy audit of an existing building to identify how its environmental controls can be improved to convert it into a high performance building.
In addition to analyzing energy used for environmental controls GreenPeak C4's energy team has the expertise to assist owners in obtaining financing for energy efficiency projects such as environmental controls. Funding for environmental controls is often available to owners through energy suppliers and governmental organizations. Owners can also benefit from tax credits for energy savings.
Lighting
GreenPeak C4's energy team has the track record and expertise to manage complex lighting projects. For new projects the energy team can provide valuable insights into energy efficient lighting applications which can result in substantial savings in energy, construction and building lifecycle costs. Our energy team will look for advanced lighting solutions such as LEDs, along with the integration of daylighting and controls, as primary targets for energy savings.They can also provide installation and retrofitting from incandescent or fluorescent lighting to LED’s and can offer enhanced lighting controls to reduce energy usage fur ther.
Lighting in commercial and institutional buildings is responsible for 38% of electricity consumption.When GreenPeak C4's energy team looks at total energy consumed in commercial buildings, lighting is the largest individual use of power. It accounts for one fifth or 20 % of the energy consumption total of the building.The energy team can help building developers, owners and managers reduce their lighting costs.
In addition to analyzing energy used for lighting and developing and managing installations and conversions GreenPeak C4's energy team has the expertise to assist owners in obtaining financing for energy efficiency projects such as lighting. Funding for lighting is often available to owners through power suppliers and governmental organizations.They can also benefit from tax credits for energy savings.


Energy
Co-Generation
Because of its in-depth experience in managing co- generation projects, also known as combined heat and power (CHP) projects, GreenPeak C4's energy team can assist building developers, owners and managers in significantly lowering their energy usage and costs in new buildings, expansion and renovation projects.
To produce a CHP system the energy team combines a group of proven technologies and operates them together to co-generate electricity and useful heat concurrently. Because the cost of natural gas has continued to decrease over the last several years natural gas turbines are frequently brought into service to generate electricity.The waste heat from the turbines is then captured and used it for either cooling or heating or both.The co-generation process stretches every resource to its maximum potential, ensuring economic benefits and energy efficiency while improving the environment.
Our energy team and project managers have the technical and managerial expertise to provide energy supply, through the development and implementation of cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) projects. It conducts energy audits; project design and construction management and verifying energy savings according to accepted industry practice. It can also assist owners in obtaining funding grants through energy suppliers and governmental organizations while helping them benefit from tax credits for energy savings.
Alternative Energy
GreenPeak C4's energy team can assist building developers, owners and managers in identifying and implementing alternative energy systems in their buildings. The team's members have in-depth knowledge and significant experience with solar, wind and geothermal systems.
When brought into a project early in its development the team can contribute to the planning and implementation of the most efficient alternative energy solution for a new
building, retrofit or expansion project. It can also provide the management to move the project forward and can also assist the owner in obtaining financing and subsidies for its alternative energy project through the local energy supplier, the state and the federal government.They can also assist in obtaining special tax credits to reduce project costs.
Building Envelope
The building envelope is like the skin of your building - it prevents air, moisture and heat from flowing in or out and protects what's inside. It consists of exterior walls, windows, doors, basement walls, ceilings and the roof. By analyzing the integrity of the envelope and checking it for problems, GreenPeak C4's energy team can identify sources of energy loss, correct them and prevent future problems.
Energy Savings from LED Lighting


Compliance
The climate within the building industry is continually changing, making it necessary for New York building owners, developers and managers to become more vigilant about building construction and renovation codes, particularly those concerning energy and sustainability. Green Peak C4's compliance team assists building owners, developers and managers in complying with the rapidly evolving green building codes at the design, implementation and maintenance stages. It also assists them with LEEDS certification. For existing buildings Green Peak C4's compliance team assists owners of existing buildings with over 50,000 Sq. Ft. of space with the following:
n Assist building owners and managers in complying with Local Law 84 (LL84). LL 84 is designed to determine how much energy and water a building uses and how its usage compares with that of similar buildings. It gives give building owners and potential buyers a better understanding of a building's energy and water consumption. Its intention is to eventually shift the market towards increasingly efficient, high-performing buildings.The first law in GGBP it standardizes the process capturing information using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's online benchmarking tool called Portfolio Manager.
n Assist building owners and managers in complying with Local Law 85 (LL85). LL85 requires buildings to meet the most current energy code for any renovation or alteration project.The requirement is based on a series of local energy laws, collectively called New York City Energy Conservation Code (NYCECC). NYCEEC currently comprises the 2010 Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State (ECCCNYS), Local Law 85 of 2009, Local Law 48 of 2010 and Local Law 1 of 2011.
n Assist building owners and managers in complying with Local Law 87 (LL87). LL87 mandates that buildings 50,000 gross square feet or larger undergo periodic energy audit and retro-commissioning measures. It anticipates that by benchmarking annual energy and water consumption will give building owners a much more robust understanding of their buildings' performance, eventually shifting the market towards increasingly efficient, high- performing buildings. GPC4's compliance team will conduct thorough audit of a buildings Electricity, Gas, Fuel Oil, Steam and Water systems through an online benchmarking tool created by the EPA. Benchmarking energy and water use enables owners, managers, residents, and building professionals to better understand their buildings' performance.The audit will determine if a building needs to comply with LL87 and what year it is due.At the owner's or managers request GPC4's compliance team will submit the EER report once every ten years to the City.
GPC4 Compliance team can assist an owner or manager in determining if his building is in compliance with Local Law 84; Lighting and Sub-metering 2025, the law requires that lighting in the non-residential space be upgraded to meet current New York City Energy Conservation Code standards code and that large commercial tenants be provided with sub-meters. If the building is not in compliance the GPC4 can plan and manage the upgrade of lighting to bring the building up to current New York City Energy Conservation Code standards, and to install electrical sub-meters for each large non- residential tenant space and provide monthly energy statements.


Habitat Properties Schematic Design & Feasibility
Design
GreenPeak C4's goal is to produce a successful high-performance building by applying an integrated team approach to the project. When our design team is brought in during the planning and programming phases it can leverage the expertise of each specialist participating in the project, making the whole team effort greater than the sum of each of its parts. Design, construction, energy and compliance are can each stand alone, but when they are into a single whole, it makes each expert's contributions to the process more valuable.
From early architectural concepts to engineering, environmental, energy, building envelope and waste removal system designs, our integrated approach anticipates problems and eliminates them before they can occur. It maximizes the benefits of newer, better and more effective technologies, methods and materials while it enhances efficiencies, accelerates the time line, improves outcomes and produces the best high performance building that the budget will allow.
