City Green Building
Incentives & Assistance

Some of the most common reasons for not building green are lack of information and lack of resources. We’re here to help you get access to the knowledge you need, and the resources that will help you meet your bottom line.

Last we checked, a web search for “green building” yielded over 12 million hits. That’s a lot of information, and while it's wonderful to have so much more available than just a few years ago, it can be overwhelming.  Our Resources section can direct you to a lot of good data. We can also personally guide you through the green building information maze to help you find what you need, tailored to your project and the Seattle area.

There are many incentives for building green today. Some of these are code or tax-based, and others are cash paid for energy and water conservation. Rather than you doing the grunt work to find all the ones that apply to you, we can help you achieve your green building goals seamlessly with a custom-built package of incentives tailored to your project.

Just following the links below to the type of work you do:

  • Residential - homeowners & single family
  • Multifamily - apartments, townhomes, condominiums
  • Commercial - industrial, institutional & highrise residential
  • City Projects - City of Seattle facilities
  • Sustainable Communities - urban design and neighborhood planning

Consideration of green options is critical during early design programming and planning, so don’t delay.  Please contact us today.
