VMC Constructions

With over 10 years experience in China and overseas, we leverage on our interior construction, design

and consultancy capabilities so as to represent the new generation of construction professionals that

really care for sustainability and low carbon print solutions.

BEE inc.

We are a sustainability consultancy based in Shanghai that aims to bring together design and

engineering know-how with construction expertise and materials specialization to provide the missing

link that enables a project to truly achieve its sustainability goals.

•  Construction activities were be monitored closely to create very little air pollution and no water pollution that can affect the growth of the local rice farms around the site.

•  Promoted means of transport that reduced the need for cars and maximized the use of bicycles and vehicles that do not emit carbon dioxide or other gases that can pollute and destroy the local environment.

•  Maintained local vegetation and protected local animal species. The development had minimal impact and ensured that nature is protected in the long run.

•  Designed the buildings to fit the topography and favored development in graded areas.
