McCarthy Green Builders

All commercial building projects have their own set of complexities. Green construction is no different. Sustainable building design requires a keen understanding of new green building construction methods. Sustainable building companies have to keep up with industry best practices to plan and execute these designs. At McCarthy, we're builders first. That means McCarthy employees apply the most advanced sustainable construction techniques. When best practices change, we know it, because our difference is building.

Contact McCarthy today about sustainable construction and to learn more about our best practices, green building methods and high performance applications.

Innovative High Performance Building

Much has changed in our nearly 150 years of building. There is one remaining constant: McCarthy's commitment to become the best builder in America. We've taken that a step further by making a commitment to become the most environmentally responsible sustainable construction company. We are well on our way.

McCarthy completed construction on a five-story, 141,000-square-foot Student Academic Services Facility at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The American Institute of Architects awarded this project its highest distinction--the "Honor Award." Location and materials used for this concrete structural hybrid building prove sustainable construction can be functional and environmentally friendly.

This project's sustainable building design embraced an open feel with floating steel stairways that overlook the central courtyard. Extensive concrete work and many residential-quality finishes required precise, flawless green building construction. From sunscreen panels to the solar orientation of the building, McCarthy provided advanced solutions for sustainable construction.
