Our approach is to bring sustainability into all aspects of our work - from being a Green Office to carrying out Green Projects. 

Green Office

Key aspects of being a green business include: 

• Electricity supplied by Ecotricity.

• Actively recycling wherever possible.

• Supporting the local economy by buying local - we are members of Bristol Pound.

• Unless cars are needed for site visits, we all get to work through pedal power.

• We are active members of the Backfields Lane GreenStreet initiative.

Green projects

All our projects are tested against key criteria and we seek to find opportunities in:

• use of energy

• energy generation

• recycled materials and recyclabilty

• saving water

• transport

• reduction of site waste

Projects with green credentials include:

• Eco demonstration and training hub for Solarsense - this is a demonstrator project for renewable technologies.

• Affordable housing at Battens Lane and Cumnor constructed to Passivhaus level of insulation and airtightness.

• Sustainable retrofit -'light touch' retrofit projects such as for Emmaus, where sustainability is inherent in the re-use of existing resources.
