Sustainable Building

Our process for selecting the location and type of new construction opportunities encompasses evaluating local needs, leadership in the community, political
climate, safety issues and sustainability over the long term. We also welcome partnerships with other NGO's in various capacities.

The steps to a successful building project include:

• Site evaluation and selection
  
• In-country architect, engineers and contractor
  
• Schematic design
  
• Design development
  
• Pre-construction project and design management
  
• Construction documents
  
• Scheduling
  
• Construction budget
  
• Bidding
  
• Construction oversight
  
• Building commissioning and maintenance

Effective management is vital to the success of each project. In addition to its own capabilities, BuildingAFRICA can oversees a team of architects, structural and civil engineers, plumbing-mechanical-electrical engineers, landscape architects and general contractors. We are LEED Certified and believe sustainable design is imperative on every project.
