Green Building
Dreamstar Construction
Company has had its beginnings, and will continue its future
in New Jersey. We feel a moral obligation to make the
construction industry more eco-friendly, to minimize the
impact of the built environment on our natural and social
landscape—and in turn, are motivated and committed to
helping New Jersey improve its community standards and
expectations for environmental responsibility and
sustainability.
Following is
a list of green building services that Dreamstar
Construction provides
and the benefits associated with them. These services will
be tailored to fit your specific needs and additional
services may be provided in accordance with your
requirements.
Dreamstar Construction is committed to the success and
increased adoption of sustainable construction practices
throughout the industry. As part of this effort, we train
all new hires in the theory and practice of green building,
emphasizing the LEED rating system. We believe Green
buildings are not only good for the environment, they also
provide immediate and long-term economic benefits for
developers, building owners and occupants.
Dreamstar Construction employs LEED Accredited Professionals.
As part of our commitment to have a positive impact on the
communities we serve, we have launched a broad-based program
of initiatives to promote sustainable development practices
and to aggressively expand our capabilities and extend our
leadership in this growing field.
Dreamstar Construction Company has a policy to divert construction waste on all
Dreamstar projects. Over the past two years, Dreamstar’s
Construction Waste Management Program has resulted in
diverting over 300 tons of debris from local landfills.
Dreamstar Construction has established a goal of diverting more than 75%
of construction waste in 2008.
Green
building is simply about constructing better buildings that
are healthier for occupants, less expensive for owners to
operate, and most importantly less demanding on the
environment.
As one of
New Jersey first residential construction companies to adopt
the practices of green building, Dreamstar Construction can
provide unparalleled expertise when it comes to sustainable
building methods and products. Whether you are seeking LEED™
certification, hoping to reduce your operating costs or just
want to use more environmentally friendly means of
construction in the future, Dreamstar Construction can help.
