As sustainability drives change across industries, the construction sector is no exception. Developers, contractors, and architects are embracing sustainable building practices — not only as an environmental imperative but as a strategic approach to future-proof their projects. Whether you are planning a new development or a renovation, incorporating sustainable construction practices can offer long-term benefits, from cost savings to increased tenant appeal. JE Dunn is proud to contribute to projects like South Loop and the extension of the KC Streetcar that make Kansas City a leader in sustainability. Here are three key sustainable construction options to consider for your next project — and why they matter: Mass timber: A sustainable, biophilic alternative; Low-carbon concrete: Reducing emissions without sacrificing strength; and Adaptive reuse: Turning old buildings into new opportunities.
