In 1898 our corporate founders, Clinton Burns and Robert McDonnell, selected Kansas City as their home base after looking for a central location with plenty of potential water and sewer clients within a day's travel. Since then, the Burns & McDonnell World Headquarters has grown to fill four office buildings.

Today more than 350 engineering, architectural, construction, environmental and consulting services are offered to our clients.

People needn't look far for the many ways the company touches their lives every day. From the water they drink, to the air they breathe, from the airport and roads they travel to the electricity that powers their homes and businesses, Burns & McDonnell is there contributing to the quality of life.

We are proud supporters of the Kansas City Area Development Council — and proud to make Kansas City our HQ hometown! Here's why:

The Kansas City Business Journal has named Burns & McDonnell to its list of top large companies in Kansas City since 2006.
