Excavation Waste Management
Excavated soil is transported exclusively to authorized disposal sites.
Our Commitment to the Environment
When constructing a building or developing an outdoor space, the surrounding streets, neighboring properties, and natural environment are also affected. We strive to contain construction dust, noise, and waste within our site boundaries as much as possible. We also look for ways to reduce the energy and water consumption of our projects throughout their operational life, starting from the design stage.
Every building we construct will be used for decades. Over that period, its energy consumption will be many times greater than the energy used during construction. That is why we see proper insulation and appropriate window selection as essential to achieving long-term energy savings.
Dust and Noise Control
Construction sites are watered during dry weather, and noisy operations are carried out during daytime hours.
Waste Segregation
Metal, wood, and packaging waste are collected separately and sent for recycling.
Water Conservation
We select low-water-demand plants and use irrigation systems divided into separate zones.
Environmental Protection Measures on Construction Sites
Washing vehicle wheels at construction site exits prevents mud from being carried onto public roads. Wastewater from concrete mixer cleaning is not discharged directly into the sewer system or soil; instead, it is collected in sedimentation tanks. Paint, oil, and chemical containers are stored in enclosed areas, while empty containers are collected separately. Existing trees on site are preserved whenever possible, and the necessary permits are obtained before removal when preservation is not feasible. Working hours for activities close to neighboring buildings are communicated in advance, and lengthy operations such as concrete pouring are not scheduled during weekends or nighttime hours.
Integrating Energy Efficiency into the Design Stage
Building orientation, window dimensions, and shading solutions are considered together during the design phase. Thermal insulation is installed in accordance with TS 825 standards, and an Energy Performance Certificate is obtained for each building and provided to the buyer.
- Priority is given to sourcing materials locally
- LED lighting is used on construction sites
- Packaging waste is transferred to licensed recycling companies
- Idle machinery is switched off
- Thermal bridges are addressed during design, not on site
- Water leaks are repaired immediately
- Leftover materials are reused in other projects
- Rainwater infiltration into the ground is taken into consideration
Our environmental and energy-related decisions are based not merely on initial construction costs but on the energy expenses and maintenance requirements that building occupants will face throughout the building's lifetime. A solution that is inexpensive initially but deteriorates quickly is, in our view, an expensive solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Excavated soil is transported to disposal sites authorized by the municipality, and all required transportation documents are obtained in advance. A portion of clean excavated soil is reused for backfilling and landscaping, reducing both transportation requirements and the volume of material sent for disposal.
Noisy construction activities are carried out during daytime hours permitted by applicable regulations, and neighboring properties are notified in advance of work taking place nearby. During dry weather, we water the site to minimize dust and wash vehicle wheels at exits to prevent mud from being carried onto public roads.
An Energy Performance Certificate is a document indicating a building's energy consumption for heating, cooling, hot water, and lighting. It is legally required for new buildings and assigns an energy efficiency rating ranging from A to G. We obtain this certificate for every building we construct and provide it to the buyer.
We select low-water-demand plants suited to Izmir's climate, divide irrigation systems into zones according to plant requirements, and prioritize drip irrigation. Limiting lawn areas to spaces where they will actually be used also significantly reduces water consumption.
