From the materials we source to the methods we use, we strive to minimize our environmental impact while creating lasting, high-quality projects that benefit communities for generations. Our holistic approach to sustainability reflects our dedication to balancing economic, environmental, and social responsibilities.
Our Commitment
Atkinson Construction is dedicated to leading the industry in sustainable construction practices. We recognize that every project we undertake has an impact on the environment and the community, which is why we are committed to making thoughtful, responsible decisions that prioritize long-term sustainability. Our approach focuses on three key areas: reducing waste, enhancing energy efficiency, and using sustainable materials to create environmentally friendly buildings.
Innovative Solutions
We continually explore and implement cutting-edge construction technologies and techniques that reduce resource consumption, lower emissions, and improve overall project efficiency.
Responsible Sourcing
We prioritize the use of sustainable materials, ensuring that our projects are built with products that are both environmentally friendly and durable, contributing to long-term sustainability.
Energy Efficiency
Our designs emphasize energy efficiency to reduce operational costs and environmental impact. We integrate renewable energy systems, energy-efficient lighting, HVAC systems, and other features that lower energy consumption and carbon footprints.
Environmental Commitment
Atkinson Construction is dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint. Our environmental practices are designed to protect natural resources, reduce waste, and improve energy efficiency in all of our projects. We actively seek to limit the environmental impact of construction activities by adopting strategies that preserve ecosystems and promote long-term environmental health.
Waste Reduction and Recycling
We implement robust waste management strategies on every site, with a focus on minimizing construction waste through recycling, reusing materials, and optimizing the use of resources. By reducing our waste output, we help lessen the environmental impact of our operations.
Green Building Practices
We incorporate green building principles into our construction processes, including the use of renewable materials, low-impact construction techniques, and eco-friendly finishes.
Water Conservation
We are committed to water conservation in both the construction process and the design of our projects. We integrate water-saving technologies, such as low-flow plumbing systems and rainwater harvesting, to reduce water use and support the environment.
Community Engagement
At Atkinson Construction, we believe that sustainability extends beyond environmental stewardship—it’s about enriching the communities we serve. We are dedicated to creating positive, lasting impacts in the communities where we work by engaging with local stakeholders, supporting local economies, and promoting social responsibility.
Local Partnerships
We work closely with local suppliers and contractors to support local economies and reduce transportation emissions. By sourcing materials and labor locally, we strengthen the communities in which we build while also reducing the carbon footprint of our projects.
Community-Centered Design
Our projects are designed with the community in mind. Whether we’re building affordable housing, community centers, or public infrastructure, we engage with local stakeholders to ensure that our projects enhance quality of life, promote sustainability, and contribute to long-term community well-being.
Social Responsibility Initiatives
Atkinson Construction actively participates in community outreach and social responsibility programs. We partner with local organizations to support educational initiatives, environmental conservation efforts, and charitable causes that align with our values and commitment to sustainability.
ECA Tools for Schools Program
As part of our commitment to fostering the next generation of construction professionals, Atkinson Construction is proud to support the ECA Tools for Schools Program. This initiative, led by the Edmonton Construction Association (ECA), provides essential tools and equipment to schools offering construction and trades programs. By equipping students with the resources they need to succeed, the program helps nurture talent and interest in construction trades at an early age, empowering young people to explore careers in the industry.
Through our involvement with this program, we are actively contributing to the development of a skilled workforce while promoting education and career opportunities in construction. The ECA Tools for Schools Program aligns with our belief in creating sustainable futures—not only through our building practices but also by investing in the future leaders of our industry.
