McKinstry

McKinstry is a national construction and energy services company that designs, constructs, operates and maintains high-performing buildings and energy assets across the full building lifecycle. Founded in 1960 as a small plumbing company by co-founder George Allen, the firm has operated for more than 60 years and now serves clients across the United States through offices nationwide.

The company's work spans a range of technical disciplines, including HVAC, plumbing, building design and engineering, construction, energy services and energy asset management, facility operations and maintenance, building performance optimisation, and consulting. Its services cover the whole life of a building: consulting to design high-performing facilities and reduce waste and climate harm; construction of facilities and energy assets; energy services and asset optimisation to improve efficiency; and ongoing operations and maintenance. McKinstry cites the statistic that buildings generate nearly 40% of total global energy-related carbon emissions as context for its focus on energy efficiency and decarbonisation of the built environment.

McKinstry describes itself as values-driven, with a stated vision of "Together, Building a Thriving Planet" and a mission to make the built environment healthier, more efficient and safer. The company frames its work around the overlapping climate, affordability and equity crises, with an emphasis on serving people, clients and communities, and on long-term partnerships spanning the building lifecycle. It also highlights a culture of innovation and of doing things differently.
