We’re living in an age of innovation, where technology is evolving and well-established practices are changing for almost every person in every single industry. For our DESCCO team, construction is no exception. The way we do our jobs and the kinds of buildings that we create for our various clients have evolved incredibly rapidly in recent years, and we’ve been happy to pick up these new developments and incorporate them into the way we work!
From improved materials to advanced HVAC systems, each new change gives us a new opportunity to build better spaces for our clients. This is especially true of modern commercial buildings like offices and retail stores. Incorporating these new essential elements into our projects lets us provide our clients with an edge that can’t be overstated!
Sustainable Materials
The materials that we use all throughout our projects have undergone a huge amount of development since DESCCO was first founded in the 1970s. These days, if you know where to look and what to look for, it’s possible to find materials and supplies that are not only durable and beautiful, but also cost-effective and environmentally friendly, giving our clients options that check all of their most important boxes.
One of the things that we often look for here at DESCCO is LEED-certified materials. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a sophisticated green building rating system that allows us to judge the impact and sustainability of every material we use– and thus, every building we make. Using this rating system whenever we can allows us to gain a better understanding of the widespread effects of the items we consume and the spaces we create!
Smart Technology
Gone are the days of analogue systems and clunky controls. Today, smart technology is the name of the game, and incorporating it into our building and renovation projects is something that almost all of our clients seek out.
Systems like automated lighting and smart climate control are more than just simple conveniences. They’re windows into the operation and function of an entire building, giving our customers the tools they need to maximize efficiency and save money, time, effort, and energy. When there’s convenience and conservation within reach, your commercial space is sure to thrive.
Efficient Energy Solutions
Saving energy and protecting the environment is about much more than just turning off the lights when there’s no one in a room, and today’s innovations account for the need to reduce humanity’s carbon footprint with creative energy-conserving technologies and solutions that any commercial space can easily implement.
When our team here at DESCCO is approached with a new project, we’re also approached with an opportunity to give our clients valuable infrastructure that will support them over time, like solar panels to reduce main grid energy consumption, or green roofs that help reduce the need for air conditioning. These modern energy efficient solutions have years of research and development backing up their efficacy, and there’s no limit to the benefits and usage that even a basic office building or retail space can reap from them.
Advanced Security
Along with advancement of technology in the modern world comes the evolution of threats and safety risks, and for every locked door, there’s an ill-intentioned person looking to get in. Here at DESCCO, safety is one of our top priorities, and this doesn’t just apply to our own team when they’re hard at work on the jobsite. It also means providing the highest level of safety that we can for the clients we serve.
Advanced and innovative security solutions abound today, and the security industry is booming more than ever before. From biometric scanners and state of the art alarm systems to simple security cameras and entry log systems, there’s dozens of different ways out there for us to help you secure your building to the level where you and your team members can feel safe and protected. With DESCCO’s help, you’ll never have to lose a night’s sleep worrying about your commercial space.
Even with all of these amazing innovations, each new year brings a new set of techniques, materials, and technologies to adapt to, and our team at DESCCO is always up for the challenge and the opportunity to give our clients the best of the best.
