U. S. Green Building Council states in its LEED Reference Guide: The environmental impact of the building design, construction and operation industry is significant.
Buildings annually consume more that 30% of the total energy and more than 60% of the electricity used in the U. S. Each day five billion gallons of potable water is used solely to flush toilets.
A typical North American commercial construction project generates up to 2.5 pounds of solid waste per square foot of completed floor space.

Greg has a pretty impressive reputation with builders and government officials in this area.
And when we first interviewed them, the firm had not designed a ton of manufacturing buildings, but you quickly realize Greg is a very honest and honorable person.
To me that is his greatest asset.
I had my own set of ideas and concepts of what I wanted for our home and Greg seemed to really appreciate that.
He served as the 'Construction Superintendent' as well as the architect - so nothing was lost in the translation - a true example of a collaborative effort.
