Design-Build Design/build construction allows a single entity to be responsible for both design and construction of a project. The design/build method of contracting has become an alternative to the traditional method of awarding separate contracts for design and construction. The contractual separation of design and construction responsibilities, inherent in the traditional contracting method, is eliminated. The client and Acquest as the design/builder enter into a single contract wherein Acquest is responsible for the coordination and completion of the design and construction of the building. The design is created by a team of in-house architectural, interior designers, and consultant engineers under contract to Acquest, which then leaves contractual responsibility for full performance of all phases of the project vested in one entity, the design/builder - Acquest. Land Assemblage Land assemblage and site development require patience, creativity, sensitivity to community needs and the expertise to properly work within an ever-changing environment. From transaction structuring and market research, to environmental reviews and site due diligence, to the coordination and supervision of engineers, architects and other planning professionals - Acquest takes your project from concept to completion.

Through traditional construction methods and new construction technologies, we find solutions to immediate and long-term concerns of building maintenance and rehabilitation. We work closely with our clients to investigate building conditions and to develop strategic, economically responsible recommendations for the design of their buildings, and then implement the design and construction in an open, transparent line of communication.

LEED The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED green building program system is the foremost program for the design, construction, maintenance and operations of green buildings. More than 51,000 projects are currently participating in the commercial and institutional LEED rating systems, comprising 9.6 billion square feet of construction space in all 50 states and 135 countries. LEED has played a significant role in reducing energy and water bills in public sector buildings across the country, saving taxpayers money and contributing to the nation's security. Based on formal review of project documentation by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI), the following projects by Acquest Development have achieved LEED Status: NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction College Park, Maryland LEED-Certification Status Achieved: Gold Designed by the global architectural firm, HOK. Sunshades were incorporated into the design on the south side of the building to optimize energy performance. Two-thirds of the roof surface is "green roof" covered with low growing plants for better insulation and protection. Rainwater bio-retention areas and a storm water cistern collect water for irrigation, and a four-story rainwater waterfall efficiently drains the non-green portion of the roof. NOAA employees at the center have the resources of a contemporary building designed to deliver a wide variety of forecasting services and support cutting-edge integrated earth systems research. Environmental Protection Agency - New England Regional Laboratory Chelmsford, Massachusetts LEED-Certification Status Achieved: Gold (First Gold LEED Rated Laboratory) The EPA's New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) has been an industry leader in its construction Waste Management program since its completion in 2001. From conception the project was charged to "make use of the best commercially-available materials and technologies to minimize consumption of energy and resources and maximize use of natural, recycled and non-toxic materials." The facility also makes use of 100% green power through solar power for lighting and generation and purchase of wind power for all other electricity needs. Awards include: GSA Environmental Award 4/2002 Real Property Innovation Award 11/2001 ABC Excellence in Construction Award 2001 Internal Revenue Service - 50 Agent Station Franklin, Tennessee LEED-Certification Status Achieved: Silver US Customs and Border Protection - 50 Agent Station Erie, Pennsylvania LEED-Certification Status Achieved: Silver US Customs and Border Protection Grand Forks, North Dakota LEED-Certification Status Achieved: Silver Niagara Center Buffalo, New York LEED-Certification Status Achieved: Silver A collaborative work environment for companies of all sizes, this LEED-certified building - a successful example of adaptive reuse - features solar panels on the roof, installed through a grant from NYSERDA.
