In our projects, we use certified materials that do not harm nature, are recyclable and have low carbon emissions.
We minimize the energy consumption of our buildings and provide savings with strong thermal insulation and solar energy infrastructures.
We separate wastes at the source in our construction sites and recycle them to prevent environmental pollution.
We do not just erect buildings; we create living centers that breathe with their wide landscaped areas and green texture.
Developing countries need to advance in the construction sector to respond to their increasing needs. Projects are needed in transportation, power plants, airports, dams, bridges, residential areas etc., therefore these projects have a large share in the economies of countries. According to 2012 data, the construction sector accounts for 13.4% of world production with 7.5 trillion dollars, 6.47% of GDP in OECD countries and 10% of GDP in European countries. According to the Global Construction 2020 report, it is expected to account for 14.6% of production with 12.7 trillion dollars with a 70% growth worldwide in 2020 (Candemir, B., Beyhan B., Karaata, S., 2012). When the situation in Turkey is examined, according to the report of the Ministry of Finance, the share of the construction sector in the gross domestic product as of 2014 is 5.8%; its share in employment was seen as 7.4% (Annual Economic Report 2015).
Although it is difficult to separate construction projects into different branches, according to a generally accepted idea, construction projects can be classified under the following headings:
The concern of people to shelter, protect, and develop themselves to establish new civilizations and carry this heritage forward, which has been going on since the earliest periods of history, shows that the concept of construction continues to be one of the most important issues of humanity from those times to the present day. Today, the construction sector, which is one of the most important factors in the development of countries, constitutes a very important meaning in terms of the concept of sustainability due to the many economic, social and environmental factors it contains.
Despite all the environmental problems caused by the construction sector, the roles it has in environmental, economic and social terms have made the sector indispensable and led to new ideas to ensure development in harmony with nature. These ideas gathered under the roof of the concept of sustainable construction basically aim to alleviate the resource usage burden in the sector and consequently produce less waste by using reusable construction materials that will consume less energy, at the cost of increased costs.
Although the subject of sustainability in construction is often thought of as intertwined with or even the same as the concept of "green", the term "green" does not fully cover the concept of sustainability. The main difference between the two concepts is that environmental concerns are taken into account.
Problems facing humanity such as the increase in the consumption of non-renewable resources and the transfer of resources to future generations have led to new planning and determination of new strategies in the construction sector. New strategies created to apply sustainability to the construction sector have started to find a place for themselves even at the project stage of the structures. For a project to be fully sustainable, it must be cost-effective, accessible and environmentally conscious in planning, construction and demolition phases, and intertwined and compatible with economic, social and environmental issues.
Kibert collected sustainable construction principles under six main headings within the framework of his studies:
"Inspired by nature, we work to leave a more livable world for future generations. As Viva Construction, we observe the ecological balance in every project and build a green future."
We are raising standards for a cleaner world.
