How to make your renovation more sustainable without breaking the budget

Today, many homeowners and entrepreneurs want their renovation to be more sustainable. However, the fear of a skyrocketing budget often holds back this goal. At Buildpat we believe it is possible to combine an environmentally responsible project without compromising your finances. Here's how to do it.

Plan with vision: the design is the basis

Efficient design is not only good for the planet, but also for your wallet. Taking advantage of natural light, optimizing cross ventilation and well-defined space flows reduces the need for artificial air conditioning and improves the comfort of customers and workers.

Ask your renovation team to study the orientation and possible light entries before moving a single brick.

Sustainable materials (that do not make the work more expensive)

There are eco-certified materials that do not involve a large cost overrun, especially if they are well chosen and procured from local suppliers. Some examples:

• Paints without volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

• FSC or PEFC certified timber

• Tiles or countertops made from recycled material

It is not necessary for the entire facility to be eco, but certain key elements make a difference.

Save energy from day one

Install LED lightingenergy-efficient faucets or efficient air conditioning systems have a reasonable cost and a quick payback. Good insulation, without the need for premium materials, can reduce monthly bills considerably.

Avoid waste during construction

A well-planned construction site generates less waste and requires fewer materials. This is not only more sustainable, but also reduces costs. A professional team such as Buildpat manages orders and deliveries efficiently to minimize leftovers.

Think long term

A sustainable renovation does not end with the delivery of the building. Good maintenance and small periodic revisions allow the premises to remain efficient and environmentally friendly for years to come.
