Since then, Dimeo has completed close to 3 million sf of structures at the levels of Certified, Silver and Gold spanning a variety of market sectors.

In addition, the firm places significant emphasis on our commitment to educating our employees in the latest tenets of LEED accreditation, while incorporating sustainable features and systems on our projects.
