Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

Our commitment to environmental sustainability

At McBride Construction, we are deeply committed to reducing our carbon footprint and prioritizing sustainable practices in all aspects of our operations. By aligning with industry best practices and supporting local communities, we strive to make a positive impact on the environment and the people around us.

Sustainable practices we stand by

1.Environmentally Friendly Materials

  • Whenever possible, we use water-based paints and environmentally friendly products to minimize the use of harmful chemicals.
  • Our team is thoroughly trained to understand and implement actions that reduce the environmental impact of paints, coatings, and other products used in construction projects.


2.Responsible Waste Management

  • We partner with trusted organizations like Waste Co NZ Ltd and EcoCentral to manage, separate, and recycle construction waste effectively.
  • By controlling waste disposal processes, we ensure minimal landfill contributions and maximum resource recovery.

 

3.Efficient Construction Sites

  • Our construction sites are managed with sustainability in mind, operating as efficiently as possible to reduce energy consumption and minimize waste.
  • Proactive energy conservation is a core part of how we reduce our carbon footprint during project execution.

 

4.Supporting Local Suppliers

  • Keeping things local is an integral part of our sustainability efforts. Over 71% of our suppliers and contractors are small to medium-sized businesses based in Christchurch, supporting the local economy and reducing the carbon emissions associated with transportation.

 

5.Native Tree Gifting

  • For every property we repair, we plant a native tree as part of our mission to offset our carbon footprint. These trees contribute to reforestation efforts, promote biodiversity, and help combat climate change.
Collaborating for community impact

In addition to our environmental efforts, McBride Construction is proud to partner with UpstreamNZ, an organization dedicated to improving the wellbeing of young people in New Zealand. By donating a percentage of our labour costs to Good Causes, we actively support initiatives that help children and youth in Aotearoa thrive.

Our vision for a sustainable future

At McBride Construction, sustainability is more than just a practice—it’s a responsibility. We believe that by adopting eco-conscious methods and supporting our local community, we can create a positive and lasting impact for future generations. From choosing environmentally friendly materials to partnering with meaningful organizations, we are continually seeking innovative ways to make construction more sustainable.
