Construction Support Services

For Construction Managers, Estimators, Subcontractors

Expert Support for your Projects

Emerald Built Environments is part of many great building projects. Projects that need skilled contractors to bring them to life. Emerald's expertise isn't limited to the board room or drafting table. Our experienced commissioning and testing personnel are continually engaged in the field, collaborating and informing the installation process. Our unique skillset has allowed us to engage at every level of construction, and can provide technical expertise for the "Whole Building". Whether you need reliable consulting, independent reviews and inspections, or assistance delivering a sustainable certification, Emerald can help.

Emerald has established methods and processes to help contractors every step of the way through the certification process. As project consultants we provide or review LEED, WELL, Green Globes, NGBS and other sustainable specifications and provide templates for tracking and reporting. We support our projects with webinars to educate the design and contractor teams. As commissioning agents we review MEP and envelope design and verify installations, helping to reduce change orders and frequent call backs to the site after completion.
