Sustainable Building / LEED

At BNB, we've made it a goal to develop a culture of sustainability in all that we do – both on the jobsites and in the office. We strive to support the Owner, Architect, and other Design Professionals in their goals by looking at options for cost, location of materials, delivery timetables/distances, and locating recycled materials. We require that all of our construction waste be recycled – it is simply the right thing to do.

Items that we generally focus on, and which we assist the design team with, include:

• Detailed cost analyses of LEED® points during
  preconstruction
• Stormwater management / runoff issues
• Landscape design
• Water efficiency
• Wastewater technologies
• Energy costs to run and maintain major building systems
• Construction waste management
• Reuse of construction materials
• Use and content of recycled and sustainable products
• Certified wood products
• Indoor air quality
• Daylight and views
• Life cycle analyses of sustainable products and systems
• Payback studies for energy efficient building systems
• Inclusion of LEED® requirements for Instructions to Bidders
• Subcontractors' understanding of sustainability goals
• Innovation points
