Every year consumer awareness becomes more focused on environmental concerns and energy conservation. PREAS believes it is our responsibility as developers to not only address these issues in our projects, but to become leaders in sustainable development technologies.

Responsible land use, environmental protection, and reduced resource needs are not only the future of our industries - they are a major focus of consumers today. Proactive and meaningful leadership in these areas is also one of the best ways to gain positive media coverage for your project along with quick consumer and community acceptance. PREAS takes an aggressive role in ensuring that golf courses and master-planned communities can be enjoyed by generations to come.

While many developers believe that sustainable practices add additional cost and planning burdens, PREAS can guide you through the latest technologies. We'll help you cut costs and reduce your project's environmental impact while gaining meaningful public relations content and quantifiable consumer goodwill.

Golf courses are among the most challenging projects for environmental planning, with their vast water needs and the demands of large & pristine green areas. PREAS brings expert experience to your golf course design, reducing water and pesticide usage with sustainable technologies.
