Why Build2Sustain?
Green News Archives

As many of you may know I am involved with an amazing company Build2Sustain. Today I want to take the opportunity to highlight several of the other members of the advisory board who are excellent resources and will be major players in defining the sustainability movement and the direction it takes heading forward. The first of these individuals is Chris Hill of Construction Law Musings. Chris is one of those rare individuals who is able to envision a project's potential benefits as well as the myriad of potential pitfalls and then convey them to a potential client or third party in manner which makes them easily understandable. It is individuals like Chris who are able to temper the contagious optimism of individuals seeking to construct green projects who will be crucial to the long term success of sustainable design and construction for if we fail to identify the risks and take measures to correct them at at early stage, sustainable buildings will under perform and be riddled with problems that will make them prohibitively expensive over the long run. Hand in hand with the role Chris plays is the equally important role of Gregory Arkin of Revit3D who brings his arsenal of technology to the forefront of the design of the buildings of tomorrow. Gregory has a knowledge of Building Information Management (BIM) which is unrivaled. BIM is a new way of designing and analyzing buildings which allows all the parties involved to make changes to a building's design and instantly see how a change in one area such as in the design of the HVAC system will impact other areas such as the electrical system. By allowing the members of a team to make changes and see how they will impact other areas BIM is reducing the costs of construction and permitting the construction of buildings which are more sustainable and which more closely perform to the expectations of the design team. Build2Sustain will leverage on the vast knowledge which these individuals bring to the table and will become a go to source for those involved in the industry.
