Scope Of Work

In building new stores for Starbucks Coffee Company, KDC Construction incorpo-

rates the following practices (to name a few): 75% landfill diversion of extracted

materials such as returning trenched concrete to manufacturers for reuse and

recycling all cardboard and plastic material packaging. Indoor air quality

management plans insure the sites are mopped daily and vacuums are used on

sanding tools. KDC teams install low-flow fixtures, low voltage lighting, Energy

Star equipment, use formaldehyde/urea-free composite wood materials, and

source local reused and reclaimed timber for wood finishes. Low VOC (volatile

organic compound) chemicals and paints are applied, concrete is often stained in

lieu of new floor tile, and fiberglass-free wall systems are procured where

possible.

Starbucks has instituted measures from responsible building materials and

furnishings to energy and water-efficient systems into its store designs. KDC

Construction is proud to contribute to the Starbucks Coffee Company effort in

building stores in ways that reduce impact on the planet; experience that should

prove invaluable as the construction industry moves toward greener standards.
