Doubling our in-house Green Star Accredited Professionals

20 January 2025​

To continue embracing change through better building practices and improved environmental outcomes, we recognise the importance of investing in the training and accreditations of our people.

This year, we are proud to have doubled the number of Built in-house Green Star Accredited Professionals (GSAPs).

The accreditation enables our people to understand the sustainable design and construction strategies that are recommended by Green Star, to raise awareness of what is required to achieve Green Star, and enable project teams to better manage our sites, consultants, and subcontractors.

“Built has an impressive track record of exceeding Green Star targets. We offer our clients more sustainability opportunities than other contractors at tender, and throughout construction we continue to push to deliver lower carbon buildings, less waste, responsibly procured materials and healthier sites.” said Clare Gallagher, National Sustainability Manager, Built.

 

“Increasing our pool of people with Green Star accreditation means we have even more eyes on the ground with the knowledge to actively manage sustainability outcomes,” she continued.

The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) training includes Green Star foundations and advanced training courses, providing awareness of what project elements are rated by the latest rating tool Green Star Buildings and why – enabling our teams to confidently deliver projects.

“The GSAP course has given me the tools to feed into early ESD strategy during schematic design,” said Shari Whyte, Design Coordinator, Built.

“GSAP was very beneficial as an introductory course on rating tools,” said Daniela Melo, Project Coordinator, Built.

Currently Built has 29 projects targeting a total of 56 sustainability ratings, including Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre, Chifley South, and Home Fire Studios, with many projects targeting additional ratings such as WELL, LEED, and NABERS alongside Green Star.
