Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Forest Products Solutions Complete New Guide:  Designing & Building with FSC

Published in June 2005, this guide helps architects, builders and designers utilize and source forest products from FSC-certified, well-managed forests. The guide offers professionals a single source to learn about, specify, build and account for the use of FSC-certified products. 

Designing & Building with FSC offers help in outlining a building project timeline and offers steps that should be taken to secure FSC-certified products.  This step-by-step guide will result in solid specifications that will educate general and sub-contractors about the project's goals regarding use of FSC-certified products. 

Designing and Building also presents case studies about projects that were successful in the use of FSC-certified wood products.  The lessons learned, both good and bad, could help steer future projects away from costly delays or change orders. 

Finally, Designing & Building with FSC concludes with several resources that design and construction professionals can use to garner a better understanding of forest certification, where to find FSC-certified products, and green building topics in general.
