As a company, Shawmut is driven to make a positive impact on the communities we serve. Sustainable practices guide everything we do—both on-site and in the office. We make informed, deliberate decisions that consider financial and design concerns in tandem with ongoing environmental stewardship to deliver projects that align with Living Building Challenge (LBC), LEED, Net Zero, Passive House, WELL certifications, and more.
DECARBONIZATION
Shawmut is dedicated to advancing the industry by pushing beyond impact reduction towards meaningful environmental improvement, with the goal of combating climate change and securing a resilient future. To help our partners achieve their sustainability goals, Shawmut offers extensive preconstruction planning, technical expertise, and data-driven solutions, leveraging a deep understanding of building systems and market dynamics to create tailored decarbonization strategies that drive sustainable outcomes and meet project-specific goals.
MASS TIMBER
Mass timber and cross-laminated timber (CLT) offer significant benefits, including reduced environmental impact through renewable sourcing and carbon sequestration, as well as high strength and lightweight structures that meet fire-resistance and seismic standards. These materials allow for rapid construction, design flexibility, and cost savings. Shawmut has extensive experience in mass timber and CLT installations, applying our knowledge to deliver efficient, sustainable projects that align with our clients’ goals for low-carbon, high-performance buildings.
The Shawmut team developed an impressive approach to the sustainability vision for the HMTX Headquarters and represented that clearly in the interview process.

The construction team brings a high level of knowledge and commitment to the project and as construction continues for this important project, their work has been exemplary.
