Temporary Tree Protection
Use this 3-part SimpleSpecs™ master specification to specify temporary tree protection for existing trees during construction.
Importance for Commercial Buildings
For commercial construction projects, preserving existing trees can enhance the property’s appeal, contribute to its environmental sustainability goals, and comply with local regulations that often mandate the protection of natural resources during development. Trees can significantly improve the aesthetic and environmental quality of commercial spaces, offering shade, reducing heat island effects, and contributing to biodiversity.
Moreover, failure to protect trees can result in regulatory penalties, additional costs for replacement, and negative impacts on the project’s public image. As such, temporary tree protection is not only an environmental and regulatory requirement but also a strategic investment in the long-term value and sustainability of commercial properties.
