Why You Need a Green Construction Manager on Your Next Project
The standard role of a construction manager is to plan, direct, coordinate, and budget activities on the project site. Not anymore.
A Building’s Impact on Human Capital
People spend about 90% of their time indoors. A Harvard study found 61% higher cognitive function scores in green building conditions compared to conventional building conditions across nine functional domains – including crisis response, strategy, and focused activity.
Standard Construction Management is No Longer Enough
Particularly in healthcare, transportation, education, sports and entertainment, owners are looking to design and construct green buildings that drive productivity and invest in human capital. A construction manager must understand what owners expect from a building and human performance perspective to implement sustainable asset solutions.
The Need for a Green Construction Manager
A Green Construction Manager (GCM) acts as a champion of sustainable design while transforming green concepts into cost-effective constructible reality. The GCM develops a strategy to partner with design and construction teams to meet overall project goals and attend to small details that make a big difference in the building’s sustainability.
