Construction stage
At the construction stage of MOKO Botanika, materials and solutions were used that have an impact on the energy efficiency of buildings and are environmentally friendly. Three-layer windows with increased acoustic and thermal parameters, FSC-certified wood and certified wood-like materials. Excess amounts of concrete mix were turned into openwork slabs according to own design, which were used to harden e.g. in gardens belonging to apartments or a temporary path for residents of neighboring buildings, for the duration of construction. It is worth mentioning that the electricity supplying the construction site came from renewable sources. The greenery, on the other hand, is irrigated with rainwater collected in a retention tank intended for this purpose.
ESG is our standard
During construction, the MOKO Botanika estate received an internal certificate of the Bouygues Group – Top Site. The criteria of this award emphasize our commitment to activities related to sustainable development and are in line with #ESG goals, which are: health and safety issues, environmental protection, quality and social responsibility. The KARMAR team received 100% completion points in all categories.
