CEI Hawaii has long been known for its premium furniture offerings, but with FalkBuilt Hawaii, we extend our expertise beyond furniture to transform interior spaces, combining conventional construction methods with cutting-edge technology. This innovative approach takes only a quarter of the time and is more eco-efficient. This Earth Day, we recognize the companies leading the way in creating a more sustainable future by changing the decades-long processes contributing to environmental waste. We are happy to work with FalkBuilt, where sustainability is at the core of everything they do.
FalkBuilt's Approach to Sustainability
Approximately half of the waste in North American landfills comes from construction sites, mainly due to cutting materials like lumber and drywall to size on-site. About 30% of these materials are headed straight to landfills.
FalkBuilt Hawaii offers an innovative solution to this problem—their use of roll formers for precision cutting components results in minimal to zero waste. In rare cases where waste is created, 90% is recycled, including metal, wood products, PET strapping, etc. This recycling effort significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with traditional construction methods.
Another sustainability advantage comes from the precision-cut components made at the factory. These are flat-packed and shipped on trucks, requiring only about one-quarter of the freight, and less than one-third of CO2e emissions than other offsite prefab manufacturers use.
Cleaner Installation and Flexibility
FalkBuilt's precision-cut components are installed without emitting toxins, producing dust, or requiring waste bins, contributing to a cleaner and healthier installation process. Additionally, FalkBuilt designed and created a sturdy clip for glass doors that reduces 80% of shipping materials, eliminating the need for excessive cardboard, plywood, and plastic wrap.
Beyond sustainability during installation, FalkBuilt's Digital Component Construction is designed for disassembly. Suppose a client needs to reconfigure their office space in a few years. In that case, they can disassemble and relocate the existing digital components, significantly reducing waste and allowing for flexible office design.
Championing a Greener Future
We’re proud to work with FalkBuilt’s innovative team that’s created a new method for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to interior construction. By embracing advanced techniques and committing to reducing waste, we are paving the way for a greener future in Hawaii’s construction and furnishing industry.
