LEED

LEED CONSTRUCTION

Our recurring success in LEED Certification has been achieved through the education of our vendors, buy-in of our project staff and adherence to a more sustainable set of standards across all projects.

We were honored to build the first certified LEED project in the Wells Fargo Retail portfolio and continue to help them develop a succesful volume build certification with over 27 LEED projects today. Our LEED projects have been certified under LEED New Construction v2.2 & v3/2009 and Commercial Interiors v2.2, v3/2009 & v4 at the levels of Certified, Silver and Gold, per our clients needs and budgets.

LEED CONSULTING

After years of networking, teaching and contracting LEED projects Jessie realized that the field side of the construction industry-general contractors, superintendents, PMs and tradesman-were being underserved in education and easy to use tools for implementing LEED and CalGreen initiatives on their sites. As a project consultant she fills the void as a cost effective and efficient resource, streamlining sustainability initiatives for construction teams and tailoring my services to their in-house capabilities.

To date, Jessie has assisted with the certification of 5 Gold public works projects totaling over $32m in valuation.

COMMENTS BY PROJECT MANAGERS

"Grafflin Construction was...the first general contractor to fully embrace LEED certification methods and practices. These methods are instilled into all of their staff from the front office to the laborers"

"Jessie’s partnership during our media events was invaluable to our media and community outreach. Not only did she serve as a consultant and advisor throughout the entire building process, but post-build, she volunteered her time to educate our local elected officials, community leaders and team members about what it means to be LEED certified and the significance of building green."
