Description
This book is written for contractors and endorsed by the Associated General Contractors of America. Written specifically for contractors, this 'how-to' book enables you to meet the challenges of green building construction. You'll discover how constructing environmentally friendly, sustainable buildings influences project management, delivery, documentation, and risk. Moreover, the book guides you through these important considerations at all phases of a green construction project, including: bidding and contracting; managing green design when the contractor works as a design builder; subcontracting; procurement; construction management; and, project commissioning and closeout.
With a focus on the green building process from the contractor's viewpoint, the book avoids endorsing any one green building rating system in favour of presenting the business fundamentals common to them all. Throughout the presentation, flowcharts and other features offer working tools for successfully managing green construction projects. Case studies developed through discussions with the actual contractors involved help you understand exactly what to expect and how to best manage constructing a green building.
