Success Stories


Portola Valley New Town Center
When TBI Construction signed on as Construction Manager to build the new Town Center in Portola Valley, CA going green was not an aftertought or a gesture of political correctness. Instead, protecting the environment, respecting nature and preserving a way of life in this rural setting was a clear mandate by the people of Portola Valley and their elected officials. The end result has emerged as a model for other communities.

The concrete, asphalt and block from the old site was dug up and pulverized onsite into class two base rock. Topsoil was scraped and piled for later reuse in drought-tolerant landscaping. Even some tall trees that had to be felled were kept to become playground benches. Reclaimed wood from the old school building became a resource, along with the purchase of wood products from renewable forest suppliers. Roof decking from the old buildings was used for the new wood slat ceiling, and recycled redwood and Douglas Fir were used for interior paneling, siding and sunscreens. We even day lighted and restored and old creek through the site.

This $20 million dollar LEED Platinum Target Certified project was completed in the 2008 - 2009 calendar year.
