Approach
We’ve learned that listening…really listening, leads to success. We listen to not only to our clients, but to the full spectrum of individuals that will be impacted by our projects. It is a simple strategy that works.
We share this planet. HBA understands and embraces our responsibility to protect and nurture our vital natural resources. We make design choices for the environment and economic benefits of conservation.
The only constant is change…missions change, technology evolves, staff transition. While we cannot forecast the future, we do build flexibility into our design and accommodate for change, so that your facilities can grow with you. In addition, the materials we select to build your project will be both durable and easily maintained. We monitor our designs to ensure quality construction, and finally, we evaluate your facility and our performance a year after occupancy to measure your satisfaction.
HBA places significant importance on the impact of facilities on the environment and we have become a leader in implementing sustainable design strategies and methodologies. As an inherent service to our clients and our environment, we incorporate sustainable approaches as often as possible.
HBA realizes that while the heart of any green building project is minimizing the impact that the built environment has on the natural environment, green buildings also offer our clients healthy, productive workspaces that cost less to operate and maintain than conventional buildings.
Most of HBA’s current projects incorporate “green building” strategies. We have projects, in all phases, that have been Energy Star certified or are eligible for USGBC LEED certification.
