In addition to “green construction”, H+U has led the construction industry in developing a “green” approach toward operations. In 2011, we adopted a paperless filing and construction document distribution program, which reduced our clients’ average printing and shipping cost by $22,000 per project. In addition to the cost savings, this system has effectively reduced our paper consumption by approximately 4 tons per year, and eliminated 100,000+ miles of annual parcel shipping.
