How to define whether a structure is design-friendly, it is usually covering more than just habitable criteria, from the overall environmental-friendly materials specified and also low-energy consumption for power to achieve optimal building temperature, therefore, we must take note of what is being built and can it be sustainable or not. Hiring a green building index (GBI) consultant might win you for tax incentives, the GBI points shall be also justified throughout the balance of the building life without just merely getting the point for financial benefits.

There are pros and cons for each raw material, from clay, steel, sand, asphalt, stone, aluminium to many more. We can improve the characteristics of each by using our modern well-developed technology such as carbon steel to stainless steel or parkerizing it as well as hot-dipped galvanizing methods.

Clay can be burnt to make a lot of products, including use as structural one such as clay brick, clay paver, clay tile, sanitary ware to the container. Sand, stone, quarry or other aggregates can be used to mix into cement as concrete admixtures or additives (of course, with other chemical compositions) to strengthen your road, shear wall, concrete slab as both roof and floor while asphalt can also be applied to similar functions and asphalt can be further processed to asphalt shingles for the roof, asphalt bitumen for the road.
