About The HPDC Client Toolkit


This Client Toolkit is template for A+D firms to build their own “Client Pitch” to support using transparency and material health practices on a client project or pursuit. The purpose of the toolkit is to provide a well-curated set of resources to enable A+D firms to:

  • Learn from the experience and best practices of others, quickly and easily
  • Gain confidence in areas where the firm may not already have much practical experience
  • Note: As a second effort, we will adapt this toolkit to help a Client/Owner who needs to educate/convince A+D firms/contractors to adopt these practices for a project or projects

HPDC hope that by using this toolkit A+D firms will:

  • Remove roadblocks for firms initiating a dialogue with clients due to uncertainty or lack of knowledge of resources to support such an effort
  • Enable firms that lack expert, dedicated resources in transparency/material health to get started more easily
  • Increase client communications about transparency and material health, coming from a growing number of A+D firms

The Toolkit is organized into the following sections:

Section 1: Firm Commitment

Section 2: Firm Expertise

Section 3: Firm Processes for Transparency and Material Health

Section 4: Impact of Healthier Materials

Section 5: Financial and Operational Impact

Section 6: Firm and Client Liability
