Ensuring Success, Avoiding Failure
Green roof technology is a fast developing market within Canada and USA in response to LEED, green bylaws and sustainable strategies. Green roofs have become a preferred option with institutions, commercial, residential and industrial buildings. However there is limited understanding of this technology beyond the main system suppliers. This has led to performance problems and failures e.g. Shallow sheet drain systems cannot retain storm water in same way a interlocking retention board based system can.
Delivering Project Outputs to Budget
As a part of our consultative process we can deliver performance, within budget, and make financial adjustments, where necessary, without affecting the cohesiveness of the project design.
