Cascade Peaks Construction Quality System: Best Practices

Lean Construction Practice
Cascade Peaks Construction aims to use only resources that the organisation needs during its projects. Lean construction practice involves, among other things, removing or minimising processes that only add cost to finishing a project and retaining or improving on processes that add value to a project.

Cascade Peaks Construction follows these principles of lean construction practice:
1. What is valuable in the customer's perspective is specified
2. Processes that will ensure value are identified and integrated in projects
3. Only materials and components that are needed are procured and made when they are needed
4. Continuous improvement is always sought to attain perfection

Sustainable Construction
The aim of sustainable construction is not only to reduce the organisation's effect on the environment but also to ensure that the future projects of the organisation are secured by current practices. Sustainable practice focuses on:
1. Earning the most profit that will help the organisation gain recognition.
2. Constructing buildings that provide greater satisfaction and ensure the well-being of its users.
3. Constructing energy-efficient buildings by utilising renewable energy.
4. Treating employees of the organisation with respect and fairness, which includes taking into account health and safety factors.
5. Protecting the environment from harmful effects of construction.
6. Reducing waste and pollution during construction
