General Contractor Documents for LEED Projects

LEED is rapidly becoming the primary commercial green building standard across the US and abroad. In response, state/local governments, land developers, and project owners are requesting LEED certification for many of their commercial building projects. Also, legislation is being passed and ordinances are being issued to mandate LEED for public buildings in many states and cities across the US. It is important for construction professionals to keep up with the training and tools to respond to these requests for LEED certified buildings.

As a busy general contractor, dealing with LEED documentation can sometimes be a daunting task. But the reality is that most of the credits for LEED projects are handled on the design side while there are select credits dealt with during the construction process. Therefore it is important for the general contractor to clearly understand their role on the project and for which credits they are responsible.

The General Contractor LEED Document Packages include everything a general contractor needs to comply with LEED documentation requirements for construction-related credits on non-residential projects. The documents are designed so that the general contractor can easily keep track of sometimes complex information that is necessary for the LEED submittal process. These electronic documents feature built-in programmed calculations which tabulate all of the important data automatically. The excel files also include "Sample & Notes" tabs to help guide you on proper use of the documents. With these packages you can take the burden out of the paperwork and empower yourself to take on LEED projects with confidence.

Packages are included for the following LEED rating systems:

LEED for New Construction
