05 — Capability
Sustainable Construction
Less waste, disposal routes that can be traced, and a site whose consumption is measured rather than estimated.
Overview
Sustainable Construction
Sustainability in construction is mostly decided on site: in how much material is over-ordered, in how waste is separated and routed, in the energy and water the works consume, and in sourcing decisions.
We do not claim certifications we do not hold. What follows are practices we apply on site, whose results are measured at the end of each contract.
Group capability
We follow the principles of the DMT Group sustainability policy.
Key capabilities
- Waste separation at source with traceable disposal
- Ordering to measured quantities to cut over-supply
- Site energy and water consumption control
- Material protection and rework reduction
- Responsible sourcing and local suppliers
- Faithful execution of the energy-efficiency solutions set out in the design
How this fits the process
Five stages. One chain of responsibility.
The same sequence applies whether the contract is a single residential building or a phased development. What changes is the depth, not the discipline.
- 01
Discover
Site assessment, constraints, existing design status, programme drivers and the client’s real priorities.
- 02
Plan
Baseline programme, procurement plan, resource plan, risk register and the reporting structure for the contract.
- 03
Engineer
Design review, discipline coordination, construction detailing and resolution of clashes before execution.
- 04
Build
Site management, subcontractor coordination, inspection and test plans, progress control and change management.
- 05
Deliver
Commissioning support, snagging and close-out, as-built documentation, handover and warranty period.
