Sustainability has become a cornerstone of modern construction, especially in urban cities like Nashville. City leaders and local residents have a shared interest in ensuring that Nashville remains a vibrant, healthy, and livable place for generations to come. This commitment is embodied in initiatives like the NashvilleNext plan, which outlines policies to guide the city’s development over the next 15 years with sustainability at its core.

As a longtime Nashville-based contractor, Crain Construction shares this commitment. Our deep roots in the city drive us to build projects that not only meet our client’s needs but also contribute positively to Nashville’s growth.  In this post, we’ll explore how Crain Construction is making a positive impact through sustainable construction practices.

Nashville offers a wealth of resources that can be harnessed for sustainable construction.  We incorporate locally sourced materials and leverage our strong trade partner network to construct buildings that are well-suited to the Nashville environment. This approach ensures that we’re building responsibly, utilizing the best that Nashville has to offer.
