Refining sustainability guidelines. We think it makes sense and we would be eager to help you achieve this. This is why we equip new buildings with all the latest capabilities for creating a sustainable environment. But we also benchmark existing buildings. We employ advisers who can test the plans against EPC and GPR calculations as well as BREEAM, if required. This is not only possible for our own projects, but also for external clients.
Sustainable construction is more than just construction. It encompasses plan development, designing, building, using, demolishing and re-using. It requires a broad view of the (construction) assignment, of all levels, of all environmental themes and of each phase of the development process. We have a positive, valued and in-house practical vision of sustainability.
Genuine sustainability demands integrated deliberation. Achieving a high environmental score by using one of the many calculation methods is not a goal in itself for us, but mainly a resource for evaluating sustainability aspects. When finding answers together with our clients, we construct intelligent deliberations on functionality, health, feasibility, energy consumption and environmental impact, flexibility, maintenance, affordability and the cultural value of the building. This is how we arrive at the best possible, sustainable design solutions.
We continually raise the bar for ourselves. We focus on high-quality buildings with high flexibility, minimal impact on the environment, a healthy interior climate, sustainable use of materials and impressive architectural quality. Process innovation, such as collaboration along the chain, plays an important role. With our knowledge of complex business processes and by be good listeners, we continually challenge ourselves, our adviser colleagues and clients to keep raising the bar. For the purpose of making buildings more and more healthy.
We do not believe that sustainability is a choice, but rather a requirement. After all, we are not only designing for now, but also for the future. For the next generations.
