What It Is

Green Zip Tape is Innovate Real Estate's proprietary construction methodology that combines sustainable drywall installation practices with enhanced component classification opportunities. By using specialized installation techniques and materials, Green Zip Tape creates clear component boundaries that enable more precise cost segregation — while also improving the sustainability profile of the project. The result is both a greener building and a meaningfully larger deduction pool.
