Building Green: A Sustainable Design-build Process

Quality and Integrity best describes Mark Line’s products, services, and culture. As we continue to evolve, a third characteristic has become equally important to us: Sustainability.

Mark Line Industries, Inc. is working diligently to not only provide you with the best buildings in the marketplace and the most environmentally conscious ones. We are bias to making green choices throughout our construction process. Material selection, a highly insulated building envelope, and landfill diversion are just a few examples of how we build green at each of our factories.

Our customers are partnered with a dedicated Mark Line sales representative and our own in house LEED* AP. They work together to determine the project goals and the first part of our sustainable design build process. The later addition of an experienced engineering staff and skilled workforce complete our green team approach and ensure the eco-friendly design and goals become reality.
