Turner Participates in NYC Building Resiliency Task Force

WASHINGTON, D.C. – July 10, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Following Super Storm Sandy’s devastation along the East Coast of the United States, the City of New York called upon the Urban Green Council to convene a NYC Building Resiliency Task Force –a group of real estate owners, property managers, architects, engineers, contractors, city officials, code consultants, and attorneys – with a mission to make recommendations to improve building resiliency and maximize preparedness for future weather emergencies, as well as re-evaluate sections of the New York City Building Code.

In addition to making contributions to working groups and committees, which developed more than 100 proposals over a period of five months, members of Turner’s New York estimating department and operations team provided cost analyses and estimates for the 33 proposals selected for final submission to the City.
