Bobbitt Design Build accomplishes major feats

It’s indeed a major achievement for Bobbitt Design Build, Carolinas’ largest design-build contractor for commercial construction, as three of its key functionaries have become the latest to be certified as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professionals. It is to be noted that the certification is through the Green Building Certification Institute under the U.S. Green Building Council. The three persons include Jerry Fink, vice president of its design department, and Greg Guy and Brian Van Horn, both PEs and senior project developers of Bobbitt Design Build.

How did the happen it has been learnt that, in order to receive the credential, Fink, Guy and Van Horn were needed to exhibit a methodical understanding of green building practices and principles and the LEED Rating System. They have distinguished themselves as building professionals with the knowledge and skills to successfully steward the LEED certification process.

“I’m proud of the efforts that we at Bobbitt have made in getting involved with the green building movement,” Fink said. “Having LEED APs in Sales, Estimating and Design speaks well of our commitment to providing not only the proper design-build solution for our clients, but a sustainable building solution that benefits us all.”

Bobbitt Design Build was founded in 1946 and is the largest design-build contractor for commercial construction in Carolina, which provides control of architectural design, engineering, permitting and construction services under one roof. The employee-owned company has built more than 3,000 commercial buildings throughout the Carolinas.

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), on the other hand, is a non-profit organization committed to expanding sustainable building practices and developed the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System. USGBC is composed of more than 13,500 organizations from across the building industry that are working to advance structures that are environmentally responsible, profitable, and healthy places to live and work.
