Green Building Standards

The focus of green building standards is to make residential and commercial buildings more sustainable, environmentally friendly and healthier for their occupants. In keeping with the trend, socially responsible designers and builders are incorporating green building standards into construction projects to create buildings with higher environmentally friendly content, better air quality and improved energy efficiency. The US Green Building Council (USGBC), the country’s leading authority on green building standards adheres to a commitment to the following five values in building design
  • Sustainability in terms of using sustainable technology and resources
  • Equity which should encompass plans compatible with all socioeconomic levels
  • Inclusiveness to encourage community involvement
  • Progress where designs should demonstrate quantifiable results
  • Connectedness in respecting the relationship between man and nature
 Platinum Builders located in San Jose adheres wherever possible to USGBC’s goals and LEED standards, in its building designs. Many project owners believe that green building standards are prohibitively expensive but this Bay Area construction company endeavors to educate them on the cost-effectiveness of green construction.

Construction planning and scheduling

One of the most significant exercises in the construction industry is planning and scheduling of projects. The goal of any construction company, or indeed any company, is to be optimally efficient. In the construction industry the key to optimum efficiency is precise and detailed construction management. This includes planning, directing and coordinating the multifarious project activities for peak project performance. Since no two projects are alike there will always be unique obstacles to overcome for each project. Therefore, the
project manager has to rely on experience with projects of a similar nature and use his/her initiative and judgment to current project conditions. Until recently, there were no generally accepted procedures and guidelines that could be applied in management of construction projects. Each project manager had his/her own methodology and approach, a situation which now stands changed.

Construction management has come a long way since, and Platinum Builders Inc., San Jose applies the latest construction management principles to their projects. This Bay Area contracting firm undertakes all types of commercial building projects. It specializes in being the ‘Construction Concierge’ to project owners through a single point of contact. Platinum Builders offers you a free ‘project timeline’ for your next project. To know more about its expertise and projects, log on to http://www.bayareacontractors.biz/.

Construction Management

The framework of a successful construction project is construction management which includes a number of activities. These entail contract reviews, material ordering, hiring of sub-contractors and scheduling their tasks, resource planning and quality control. If all these disparate elements are well considered and planned, the project has an excellent chance of being completed on schedule and within budget.

To successfully meet the goals of a construction project, planning and scheduling of activities is vital. Too often projects are approached with only a loose definition of these critical aspects resulting in project delays, confusion in activities, rescheduling and an inevitable cost over-run. A common axiom in construction projects is that the longer they take, the more expensive they become. Cost escalation is an inevitable fall-out of project delay.

Platinum Builders in San Jose is a client-oriented general contracting company which provides a full range of construction services. While it undertakes all forms of commercial construction projects, its focus is more on negotiated design-build and select-invited bid projects.
