Sustainability

sustainability goals diagramSustainability goals must leverage an entire team’s combined depth of knowledge and experience in delivering high-performing facilities, with a value-oriented Construction Management (CM) approach. At Neagley & Chase, we bring innovative ideas and expertise to every project, helping our clients establish and meet their sustainability goals.

We firmly believe that our role as Construction Manager is to first understand and support a project’s green building goals. We then rely on a collaborative approach, expertise, and the detailed information necessary to make well-informed decisions.

We are leading the industry in evolving current construction practices, and we are proud of our solution-oriented approach and demonstrated successes.

ACHIEVING SUSTAINABILITY GOALS through all project phases

Pre-Construction

  • Detailed cost estimates
  • Systems / assembly options
  • Constructability reviews
  • Maximize impact of smart investments
  • Strategic procurement process

Construction

  • High-performance envelope expertise
  • Quality control and assurance systems
  • Detailed coordination and communication with field trades
  • Interim assembly & detail testing

Post-Construction

  • Coordination of HVAC Commissioning
  • Building operational systems training
  • Proactive focus on a thorough closeout from the start of the project
  • Follow-up ahead of material and system warranty expiration

To successfully meet a project’s sustainability goals, we focus our efforts early on — during the design and pre-construction phase. With the skills, tools, and systems tailored to the requirements of each stage of the project, we collaborate with the Owner and Design Team to deliver on these goals throughout the process. In addition to our experience with CHPS, LBC, and Passive House standards, Neagley & Chase has delivered Energy Star, LEED, and Net Zero certified facilities.

Testimonials

Over the years, Neagley & Chase has been a vital asset in our ongoing corporate growth.  From the top down, we have always had the full, personal attention of those engaged in understanding our needs and bringing those needs to reality. They are more than our contractors. They have an intuitive understanding of our company culture and its rhythms, working alongside of us as easily as can be imagined.”

Lisa Groeneveld, COO
Logic Supply, Inc.

Neagley & Chase Construction Co. has been an active part of our many expansions over the past eight years. Starting in 2007 with the original building and fit-up and through several additions and renovations, our needs have always been met, by the same Team, with professional focus. When they say they want to build long-term relationships, I assure you, their interest in your well-being is validated by their performance.”

Eric Hounchell, Vice President Optics
Revision Eyewear

Our building is functioning fully as intended and we couldn’t be more pleased with how the whole project went. Your team’s performance was top notch, and made the extra effort to ensure that the quality, specs, and usability were what we needed. As King Arthur grows, I’m confident we will remember your company’s strong performance in creating our manufacturing space.”

Steve Voigt, President/CEO
King Arthur Flour Company, Inc.

Neagley & Chase took the time to understand our systems and needs, created a schedule that integrated those needs, and delivered the work as promised. Their size and hands-on approach, attributed to excellent communication from the top down, made us all feel like part of a singular team. The thoroughness of their planning and execution allowed our team to continue doing what we do best.”

Lloyd Grunvald, General Manager
Preci Manufacturing Inc.

Without a doubt, Neagley & Chase Construction Company proved to be the best choice we could have made when selecting a firm to help with a recent 57,600 sf expansion on our Main Plant Campus. The planning, scheduling and construction proceeded flawlessly. As promised, a well built, energy efficient facility was turned over in 3 ½ months. Thank you for a job exceedingly well done.”

David Logan
Autumn Harp Chairman

Having more than 44 years experience in similar projects, I recognized the need to assemble a team that could meet our financial and quality objectives while staying on schedule. Project Manager Robert Higgins and Project Superintendent Christopher Minadeo proved to be very well qualified and most valuable members of the project team. They, along with the N&C organization and their excellent subcontractors, are commended for the successful completion of our new facility.”

William H. Baumann, Jr., P.E.
Freedom Foods, LLC

The Neagley & Chase team did an outstanding job of coordinating with our design team, our LEED consultant, and our facility operations staff, working through design details and construction sequencing with minimal involvement by our team. Based on the strength of their performance on the UMS facility, we selected NCC as our Construction Manager for our subsequent expansion. Their team has allowed us to remain focused on the growth and needs of our business.”

C. J. Madonna, Esq. General Counsel
Schluter Systems LP

Projects that include a mix of new and rehab construction are a particular challenge. Both sites were very tight, permitted under stringent guidelines, and required extensive coordination with subcontractors to meet our goal of creating long lasting, very energy efficient buildings. Efficient Vermont has awarded both buildings a 5-Star rating – indicative of the good oversight and care that went into coordinating this work.”

Rich Wickman, Project Manager
Housing Vermont

Efficiency Vermont has worked with Neagley & Chase for many years and can confirm their knowledge of, and experience with, the design and construction of high-performance buildings. On each project they are involved with, they strive for both the highest energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness, which is key to achieving a net zero energy building.”

Nicholas Thiltgen, Commercial Energy Consultant
Efficiency Vermont

“Neagley & Chase has now done two major expansion projects for us. They were unfailingly cooperative and solicitous of our operational needs, and we did not miss a beat in our regular activities – no easy feat given the scope of work and our schedule of daily and special events.”

Jed Graef
Vermont Zen Center

I want to thank you for the professional manner in which you service Wake Robin. Working in a community such as this presents many challenges that you’ve continued to overcome. The overwhelming theme is how respectful your field personnel treat our residents, and how clean a project they run. From my standpoint, the projects have been a success due to the quality of the work and the timely response of management.”

Wayne Symon, Project Manager
Wake Robin Facilities

“NCC combined their extensive knowledge of renovation with the needs of a school in session. Workers and managers worked around students and staff with humor and flexibility. The experience was full of positive, unexpected intersections of two usually distinct populations. If we were to do it all over again, Neagley & Chase would be our pick, hands down.”

Tory Riley, Principal
Lincoln Community School

“From start to finish, Neagley & Chase supported and surrounded our relocation project with their expertise.  This project ran with timely meetings, detailed information and great workmanship.   N&C had a fairly tight time frame within which to accomplish the work and they managed to come in both on time and on budget.  I would highly recommend Neagley and Chase to other business who have office expansion and fit up needs.”

Tim Rushford, Owner/Founder
Peds One

“The Neagley & Chase team was committed to the Performance Center meeting the Passive House air tightness standard of 0.05 CFM50/sf. There were challenges along the way: Winter, new products, and materials not performing as expected. They adapted to every challenge with innovation and attention to detail. The building surpassed the target at 0.027 CFM50/sf. Nice work NCC!”
