Because:

• the time to make a difference is always running out
• it just doesn't make any sense not to anymore

Greenlight will only consider working with clients who are willing to embrace holistic and sustainable elements within their project.

The good news is that this really will be of benefit to:

• You & your family
• Your fuel bills!!!
• The environment

Very brief design philosophy

We all share deep concern over the future of our planet. Many of us wonder how we can reconcile our values & lifestyles with the reality of climate change.

Over their lifetime buildings take between 5 and 10 times as much energy to run as to build. Sustainable building must therefore begin with energy conservation. Greenlight Construction has embraced this principle and has adopted the Energy Standards of the Association of Environment Conscious Building (AECB). A project constructed to the Silver AECB standard will reduce your household carbon footprint by a staggering 70% when compared to the current national average. Of course, the added bonus is that your fuel bills will be proportionately lower too!

An insider's view of the Building Industry

The building industry is often perceived to be:

• impenetrable
• inflexible
• archaic
• disrespectful
• woefully wasteful
• a male dominated club

Unfortunately, the reality is often too close for comfort!
At Greenlight we recognise the need for openness and honesty in all of our dealings. We want you to have:

• a positive and inclusive building project experience
• a superb and durable 'fit for purpose' structure that doesn't cost the earth.

There are many compelling reasons as to why we should consider a more sustainable approach to life let alone building fabrics and processes.

The simple truth is that the sustainable approach is better for us!
