Kansas Construction News
Kansas construction ranges from the suburbs of the Kansas City metro in Johnson and Wyandotte counties to Wichita's aviation and manufacturing base, the capital city of Topeka, and university towns like Lawrence and Manhattan. Across the western half of the state, agriculture, grain storage, meatpacking and energy, including wind and oil and gas, drive industrial and rural work. Builders contend with tornadoes and high winds, hail, expansive clay soils that challenge foundations, and wide temperature swings, and contractor licensing is largely handled by cities and counties rather than the state. Water supply in western Kansas and the cost of serving growing suburbs are recurring infrastructure issues.
