Building Materials Design and Specification 

Factors influencing a buildings environmental impact are the materials used in the building’s construction. Building Survey Doctor will where possible specify benign materials from sustainable sources for all work carried out unless the client specifies otherwise.

Further considerations should include the type of heating plant the building incorporates, along with site location, orientation, and configuration of a building’s design.

The Global Picture

Considering the bigger picture we spend a great part of our lives in and around buildings, enjoying the comfort they provide.
This comfort is to a great extent created at a cost to the rest of the planet.
A heavy environmental footprint has an effect on the sustainability of our global resources, and natural environment. Green building strategies provide far healthier internal environments for building occupants than less well considered building methods, as well as saving the planet.

Building Survey Doctor can help you lower the environmental impact of your project no matter what size. Please contact us to discuss your particular needs.
