Construction management firm William A. Berry & Son Inc. of Danvers has achieved the goal of a paperless construction project at the 100,000-square-foot Overlook Center development in Waltham.
Using a specialized PDF program, Berry, project architect Perkins+Will and all sub-contractors electronically redlined more than 42,000 pages of construction documents in PDF form, making the project almost completely paperless.
By reviewing these documents electronically, the team said it reduced the project’s carbon footprint by 1,557 lbs of CO2. Based on this achievement, Berry said it is applying for a LEED innovation & design credit from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
Berry has submitted a LEED Silver application for the Overlook project and is currently awaiting notification from the USGBC.
