Webinar-at-a-Glance

Being a successful green building contractor no longer requires that you just have the most experienced team in green construction. There is strong evidence that the current economic climate is increasingly forcing contractors to commit to project budgets that are often only slightly more for green buildings than for traditional buildings.

Implicit with this new marketplace economic environment are the requirements to take additional steps to control costs, reduce risks, and meet the demanding performance goals of a green building—even more important than in normal economic times. These requirements are presenting a dilemma for everyone: how to build quickly, innovatively, and inexpensively without compromising quality and performance to the point where increased building failures and lawsuits occur.

While the concern about green building risks is growing, the claims of being able to design and construct it for virtually no additional costs are also growing. No wonder many of the major law firms have started their own green building practice—future business could be brisk.
