About GES
Building responsibly
The buildings we design and construct today will stand for decades. We take responsibility for their impact by choosing better materials, reducing waste and energy, and supporting the communities where we work.
Our Commitments
Six areas of focus
Practical commitments we apply on every project, from the first design meeting to years after handover.
Energy-efficient design
Passive design, insulation, efficient glazing and building services that reduce operating energy.
Renewable energy
Solar PV design and installation for homes, businesses and our own facilities.
Responsible materials
Durable, locally sourced and lower-impact materials wherever specifications allow.
Waste reduction
Accurate quantities, segregation on site and reuse or recycling of construction waste.
Water efficiency
Efficient fixtures, leak-free waterproofing and water-conscious site practices.
People & community
Safe work, fair employment, local hiring and respect for our neighbours.
