The ECOstruct team will design your project using an integrative design process.. Integrative design involves including all of a projects stake holders in a process that increases synergy. Design synergy works to benefit owners in ways they decide. The Integrative design process encourages ideas that cross traditional design barriers to bring value to a project and it’s owner.

The traditional linear design process is a cost and code driven process the suffocates innovation. This linear process pursues the minimum cost to meet the current standards or codes. The integrative process is a cooperative design process that incorporates all aspects of the building process including:

• Affordability
• High performance
• Construction cost
• Life-cycle cost
• Energy consumption
• Natural resource preservation and conservation
• Indoor environmental aspects
• Environmental impact

After design, ECOstruct will then build your project with continuing consideration of all of the aforementioned factors.
