Client Testimonials

“We could have built a project with any number of firms but it wouldn’t have been THIS project…”

LEED

rand* construction corporation has been an active member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) since 2001 and currently has LEED accredited team members both in Preconstruction Services and Construction Project Management. rand* construction participated in numerous pilot projects, during USGBC’s development of the LEED CI (Commercial Interiors) project criteria. The principal goals and philosophies of LEED projects have become part of rand* construction’s approach to construction, which we term “Best Practices.” These projects utilize Waste Management Plans, Indoor Air Quality Plans during construction, the introduction of low VOC products where permissible, and subcontractor education.

For over a decade rand* has been an active member of the USGBC, and currently has 51 LEED Accredited Professionals (AP,GA, AP ID+C) among our professional staff. rand* encourages and supports LEED training, and rewards accreditation. Since the USGBC Pilot Program’s inception in 2001, rand* has led or participated in over 3.4 million square feet of LEED construction, on over 50 LEED projects, achieving all levels of certification.
