Retail Construction Services Expands LEED Building Capacity

Retail Construction Services (RCS), a leading and award winning national general contractor, has been expanding its LEED building capacity this year. Founded in 1984, RCS has built over 8,200 major projects, and over 23,000 store refreshes, retrofits other Facilities Management work in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada representing over $1.1 Billion in company revenue."

Retail Construction Services shares the concern with its customers with regard to the impact of their work on the communities and the environment. As members of the USGBC, the company completed their first LEED certified project in 2006. Two of the more recent projects this year are; The University Center for the Black Hills State University, which is designed for silver certification and hoping to qualify as gold, as well as a Toyota dealership in South Dakota’s Black Hills that is designed for gold certification. “Today, as sustainable construction awareness increases, we continue to pursue those partnerships where we can help clients reach their certification goals, whether LEED Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum,” says Joni Fletty, Vice President of Operations for RCS. “While the targeted certification is the goal, we help our clients also qualify for tax allowances, zoning accommodations and other incentives to lower costs of operation and increased asset value of their properties.”
