Planet: Green your Site

Grow it & they will come

We're really looking forward to fall and its colors that make Western PA so beautiful this time of year... It's also a great time to improve our site with some new planting.

Also in the plans... a rain garden this spring in the backyard.

Our Conservation Spirit

News digest, links & comments informing our triple top line .... edited by Marketing Team (views are ours, not those of Marco, shared here as an exploration into sustainable consumption & green retail).

Marco offers sustainable building solutions (SBS) to our clients as a basic service. We have adopted a 'triple top line' (TTL) business method for our company, which in addition to economic vitality, emphasizes protection for the natural environment and the health of people, our greatest resource. In a nutshell, TTL is a process that helps us run our green business by following a simple rule – No Profit without Planet and People.

We employ an integrated project delivery (IPD) system of partnering with architects, engineers and clients to maximize a projects green potential and minimize cost overruns. Our project team first meets to discuss the SBS goals and how they can be achieved without negatively affecting the budget and schedule.

In addition to constructing green projects, we promote sustainability through in-house training programs and support of continuing education organizations including AIA Pittsburgh and the Green Building Alliance.
