Total Construction

Urban development is not, alas, a joined up process. Developers, planners and business owners all tend to treat each project as an island. They may secure LEED or comparable accreditation on their office complex, hospital, factory or apartment block but till recently they have not tended to consider energy in the larger context of the precinct, industrial area – or even an entire city. These economies of scale, in association with the incentives and technology advances driving the growth of renewable energy solutions, have presented one of Australia's largest private construction companies with an opportunity to lead the field.
