ABC Green

Landis Construction is proud to be named the first Certified Green Contractor by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) in the state of Louisiana. In addition, there are only eleven contractors in the United States that are currently certified. ABC’s Green Contractor Certification program recognizes construction companies that implement green practices and principles in the workplace, including headquarters, branch offices and jobsite office complexes. To achieve certification from ABC’s National Green Building Committee, Landis submitted an application detailing its green efforts and underwent a third-party onsite assessment.

The Green Contractor Certification process involves a list of 13 prerequisites ranging from distributing documents electronically to establishing an aggressive recycling program. Companies are required to fulfill 12 of 36 elective items that include conducting a professional energy audit, water conservation efforts and providing incentives for carpooling or using public transportation. In addition, each company must achieve four education and training benchmarks, such as instructing employees on sustainability issues and requiring at least 25 percent of their managers to receive green building awareness education.
