SMC Construction
Sustainability

Genuine commitment, not a green coat of paint.

SMC has made a real commitment to lead on sustainable construction in New Zealand — through our membership of the NZ Green Building Council and a track record of delivering 5 Star Green Star projects.

Our commitment

Leading on sustainable building in Aotearoa.

We believe the buildings we put up today should serve people and the planet for decades. That conviction shows up in the products we choose, the way we run our sites, and the ratings we help our clients achieve.

As a member of the New Zealand Green Building Council, we stay at the front of best practice — and we bring that knowledge to every client who wants to build better.

How we deliver it

Four ways we build greener.

Green Star delivery

We've delivered multiple 5 Star Green Star rated projects, with the documentation and site discipline to back the rating up.

Low-carbon materials

We specify and source lower-embodied-carbon concrete, timber and finishes wherever the design allows.

Waste minimisation

Construction and demolition waste is sorted, diverted and tracked — keeping material out of landfill.

Energy-efficient methods

Efficient plant, smart logistics and tight programmes reduce the energy and emissions of the build itself.
