SAN FRANCISCO – Dec. 11, 2007 – Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis LLP and CTG Forensics, Inc. will present results of the second annual LEED/Green Building Survey at the upcoming Construction SuperConference in San Francisco.

Design professionals, developers and project owners, contractors/subcontractors, claims professionals, consultants, attorneys, among others, participated in the survey which was additionally distributed by the Green Building Insider newsletter.

 

The scope of the survey has been expanded from previous years and is co-sponsored by CTG Forensics. The online publication Green Building Insider will be publishing the results and follow up articles to their readers.

Bryan Jackson and Mike Cathcart of the Los Angeles office of Allen Matkins and William R. Broz, P.E., vice president and general manager of CTG Forensics, Inc. will present the survey results. Their presentation, “Building Green: Risks If You Do and Risks If You Don’t,” will take place on December 14 at 2 p.m. at the SuperConference.
