Did you Know?

Over eight years, the 2006 Building Code changes will:

   • Save enough electricity to serve 380,000 homes or enough to power the entire
      City of London
   • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions equal to 250,000 cars off Ontario’s roads.

GREEN policies

All of our policies are based in the simple 3R philosophy (Reduce Reuse Recycle).
These are the ideas we employ in our lives at home and it’s a natural fit to extend them to the job site. If you have other simple ways of being Green you’d like to incorporate into your project please let us know, and we’re happy to work with you.

   alternate projects or are donated to local charities.

4. Any organic or yard materials ( including brush & wood etc.) will be
   redirected from traditional landfill
