At Green Hammer, we are setting out to prove that buildings can be a catalyst for change — for conservation, for economic growth and for improved human health. For over a decade, we’ve been designing and constructing buildings that meet the highest green building standards — buildings that conserve more clean water and energy than they consume, are designed to endure generations.
Through our unified design-build process, where both the design and construction teams work side by side and understand the overall goal, we are creating buildings that not only endure, but give back.
