Zero Waste Week, held annually on the first Monday of September, is a global campaign to reduce landfill waste, preserve resources, and protect the environment. This year, STO Building Group’s Sustainability team joined the movement with a special three-part Building Conversations podcast series exploring material circularity in the AEC industry.

From design through demolition, our teams are working with partners across the U.S. to reduce waste, repurpose materials, and push the industry toward a more circular future. Hosted by Jennifer Taranto, STOBG’s Vice President of Sustainability, each episode features conversations with clients, designers, and manufacturers on what’s working, what’s changing, and how to build a zero-waste mindset from the ground up.

With positive trends emerging during 2023 in tenant interior projects across the nation and the supply chain slowly returning to pre-pandemic normalcy, predicting the median costs of a construction project remain a top priority. Our experts have analyzed real-time data from our own projects to help pinpoint trends in various markets and help look ahead at the future. Read more of these real-time findings in our July 2023 Construction Cost Report.

Restoring a historic building can present a unique set of challenges. Design requirements, existing conditions, and entitlements can all complicate the process. An experienced team is key to the success of the project. Pavarini McGovern and our sister companies in the STO Building Group have been fortunate to work on several historic NYC buildings, including Lever House, MetLife Building, 100 Vandam, the Barbizon Hotel, and the Irish Arts Center, to name only a few.
