ARCO Services

LEED

ARCO has adapted to the needs of our clients in their approach to sustainable design. The idea of “building green” has become more popular and economically feasible and ARCO has the capabilities to design and build a quality, cost effective sustainable building to meet the needs of our clients.

The decision to construct a “green” design/build project begins with each client’s individual needs. The level of LEED® certification obtained on each project begins with a client’s vision and willingness to promote environmentally and energy conscious building practices. With this level established, we coordinate and review the project’s design and develop a LEED® pre-certification checklist with a corresponding cost analysis to understand the impact on the project budget. ARCO manages this design coordination to ensure that the appropriate number of credits in all categories will be met and the desired LEED® certification is attained while considering and maintaining our client’s budget.

With the help of our architects, engineers, design/build contractors, and vendors, ARCO has taken multiple projects through the LEED® classification system for New Construction. Utilizing the experience and resources of our design/build team, we can design a facility capable of achieving multiple credits through a coordinated effort in all seven categories of the LEED® NC Criteria.
