The producers of Sustainable Planet are pleased to announce that Centerpoint Builders will be featured in an upcoming episode as part of the show’s series, Leadership in Sustainability & Design. The show will be aired nationally on National Geographic Channel and The Travel Channel, as well as in 25 regional markets.
As an architect-led design and build firm, Centerpoint Builders is dedicated to building sustainable designs and reducing negative impacts on the environment. With three architects on staff (one being Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED accredited), Centerpoint has extensive environmentally-sensitive project experience, ranging from $500,000 to $15 million projects.
Centerpoint focuses on four distinct building types, including multi-family, commercial, retail, and medical, and applies sustainable building expertise to all of these building types. It builds projects that extend past “green” devices, like wind turbines, rain catchers, and solar panels. It considers factors such as building orientation, materials selection, and design details, which have a great impact on the sustainability of the environment.
In addition, Centerpoint performs a Life Cycle Assessment of the materials that will be used on a project to determine its performance, durability, and raw material use. It makes decisions that will increase the quality and sustainability of a project, without adding to the cost of construction.
“As more Americans understand the political and environmental impacts of our industrialized society, more owners are asking how their projects can have a positive impact on the environment,” said David Gunderson, founder of Centerpoint Builders. “The key to achieving a sustainable building is a complete integration between design and construction.”
Centerpoint’s architect-led team places a strong emphasis on quality and functional design and serves as a single source will full accountability of schedule, quality and cost. As a design and build firm, Centerpoint allows the owner to focus on decision making instead of coordinating details between a designer and contractor. It streamlines the design and construction process, and saves time by removing the multiple entities within a conventional architect-contractor project.
Centerpoint Builders offers turn-key design/build and construction for its clients with experience in a wide range of project experience - medical, office, retail, multi-family, and industrial. For more information, please visit the company website at centerpointbuilders.com.
