Hunter Roberts’ commitment to environmentally-sound design review and construction practice is an integral component of our corporate culture. With a ever-expanding lists of both LEED accredited professionals and LEED certified projects. Hunter Roberts is rapidly becoming one of the industries leading Green builders.

We have established a multi-step approach for ensuring that a project seeking LEED certification meets its desired sustainability goals. Our knowledgeable team members work to identify all green design options and materials during the pre-construction phase, and use the information to develop a Green Action Plan, which comprehensively manages all documentation required as part of the LEED application submittal.

Elements of our approach include:

•Inclusion of LEED accredited professionals on the pre-construction team
• Incorporation of sustainable elements in contract documents with subcontractors
• Subcontractor documentation reviews
• Consideration of sustainable elements during the value engineering processes
• Development of a construction waste management plan
• Development of a procurement strategy to include purchasing Low-VOC content adhesives, sealants, paints, carpets, building materials with maximized recycled content
• Development and implementation of an IAQ plan
• Worker training on environmental requirements as required by ISO 14001

Our firm currently employs twenty-six (26) LEED accredited professionals. To date, Hunter Roberts is currently providing our LEED expertise on 18 projects that are seeking LEED certification. These jobs span a variety of market sectors and include hotels, primary schools, luxury residential buildings, and commercial spaces. Of this list, five jobs are Gold-Certified and six are Silver-Certified.

Notably, one of our LEED certified residential buildings, The Laurel, was recently awarded a “Building of America” award, and will be featured in the upcoming New York/Philadelphia edition of Real Estate & Construction Review magazine. The Laurel’s green elements included water-efficient landscaping, enhanced refrigeration management, low-emitting materials, and a design layout meant to maximize optimal daylight and decrease electrical costs.
