Durability is a practical form of sustainable construction

Long service life, maintainability, efficient planning, and careful material use create lasting value.

The most useful sustainability decision is often a material and a detail that last. A finish that has to be replaced in two years is waste, even if it was marketed as green.

Sequencing reduces waste. Ordering twice because the first delivery did not match the drawing is a planning failure.

On each project, durability, maintenance, and the way the building will actually be used matter more than a generic checklist.
