LEAN & GREEN
SAMPAUL Contracting, Inc. is committed to the advantages and environmental benefits of green building. We recognize the need to reduce energy consumption and waste as well as related costs.
On average, green buildings use 30% less energy than conventional buildings and offer lower operation and maintenance costs. These building techniques can also increase productivity and profitability as they improve the overall air quality and create a better indoor environment in which to work, live, learn or play.
According to the US Green Building Council, buildings in the US account for:
65% of our electricity consumption
36% of our energy use
39% of our greenhouse gas emissions
30% of our raw materials use
30% of our waste output (136 million tons annually)
12% of our potable water consumption

Sustainability Involvement
SAMPAUL Contracting, Inc. prioritizes sustainability to minimize energy use and negative environmental impact. Whether our clients pursue sustainability for LEED certification, economical savings or environmental responsibility, SamPaul’s integrated services help realize sustainability goals in the truest form – from design through construction.
An integral part of our preconstruction and construction process, green building starts early in the project, beginning with early identification and selection of green materials and building products and continues throughout construction and LEED certification.
SAMPAUL’s history of building some of the most sustainable buildings in the country is attributed to the continued commitment of the team in supporting a diverse culture of ideas, research, education, and community involvement.

Sustainable Integration
Waste and inefficiency are huge problems in the construction industry and are unsustainable in terms of the environment and the economy. A large portion of this inefficiency is due to site rework caused by poorly coordinated working drawing sets. Every change order that costs the owner, but doesn’t add to the project dollar value, results in wasted resources. And every wasted move on a job site is wasted energy and materials, potentially adding to the waste stream. SAMPAUL works at the heart of this problem by eliminating the source of the problem – documents that are inconsistent – replacing them with complete, coordinated ones.
