Going Green

McQuade Development takes seriously our obligations as contractors to respect and preserve our natural environment. Drawing upon past lessons and contemporary building science, we aspire to build structures that are in harmony with their natural surroundings that conserve resources and are efficient in their use. Combined with the goal of exceeding industry baseline environmental standards on all of our projects, our philosophy serves as a catalyst in our movement towards a more ecologically and ethically responsible form of home building.

Sustainable design is more than an end result; it is a process. At a project’s inception, we work with architects to outline sustainability goals that are developed and carried through each phase of the design and construction process. Going a step further, we revisit all completed projects to evaluate the success of our building performance strategies and occupant comfort and satisfaction. These evaluations provide us with the necessary tools for analyzing past efforts and identifying failed strategies – allowing us to evolve our practices and hold ourselves accountable to our goals.

McQuade is proud to serve and support the Los Angeles area in building a more sustainable and healthy future.
