The Challenges of Sustainable Construction

Together we can transform our reality.

Civil construction has always driven human development. The need for shelter, protection, and community life has guided us since the dawn of time. Since we began to inhabit this planet, we’ve all been looking for our own place to call home.

We now know that the quality-of-life civil construction provides us takes its toll on the planet, such as extensive consumption of natural resources and energy, greenhouse gas emissions, and solid waste.

Also, the challenges involve life in society: creating jobs, occupational safety, and relationships with suppliersas and neighbors. These issues are part of the everyday life of any construction site in Brazil and abroad.

This is why applying sustainability

principles to civil construction is

paramount. To conserve, reuse, recycle, and renew; to protect natural resources, create durable and high-quality materials, and apply innovative construction methods: sustainable construction seeks to reduce or even zero the impact of our industry on the environment and communities with best construction practices, energy efficiency, and carbonfree technologies.. The search is for responsible action, integrated with all other solutions and the necessary transformations so that we can inhabit our planet in a more conscious way.
