First call to keys.
Every KGC project runs through the same seven phases. Owners see the same milestones, the same deliverables, and the same level of direct access to the principal running the job — whether it's a 40,000 sq ft warehouse or a 124,000 sq ft industrial park.
Transparent. End to end.
Feasibility & Early Budget
From your first inquiry we run a feasibility review — site constraints, rough building footprint, budget range, and schedule. Within a week you have a realistic number and a yes/no on the fit before anyone commits dollars. No obligation, no design fees.
Owner sees: rough-order-of-magnitude budget, preliminary schedule, go/no-go recommendation.
Preconstruction
Once we're engaged we open the books. KGC's preconstruction team develops the budget at 25%, 50%, and 100% design — with clear allowances, unit pricing, and bid-leveled subcontractor numbers. Value engineering sessions happen early, not after the GMP is set.
Owner sees: open-book budgets at each design milestone, constructability comments on the drawings, VE log, schedule with critical-path clarity.
Design & Design-Build Coordination
Whether the owner comes with drawings already in hand or asks us to lead the design team, we coordinate every discipline toward a build-ready set. Our in-house knowledge of tilt-up, site, and metal building systems lets architects and engineers lean on us for constructability input instead of guessing.
Owner sees: coordinated drawing set, MEP/structural clash resolution, final material specs, confirmed long-lead procurement.
Mobilization & Site Setup
Site office, safety plan, erosion control, fencing, access routes, and utility coordination all happen before the first pour. Subcontractors arrive to a site that's ready to work — not waiting on layout.
Owner sees: site-specific safety plan, weekly look-ahead, sub mobilization schedule, critical-path start dates confirmed.
Construction
KGC self-performs concrete, tilt-up panels, and key site scopes. A superintendent lives on the job. Weekly owner update meetings cover schedule, budget, change orders, and the three-week look-ahead. No surprises at the pay application.
Owner sees: weekly site walks, photo documentation, schedule updates, transparent change order log, monthly pay app review.
Commissioning & Closeout
Punch list tracked in writing from substantial completion forward. MEP systems commissioned and documented. Owner training scheduled for controls, fire alarm, and major equipment. Closeout binder delivered — drawings, O&M manuals, warranties, sub contacts.
Owner sees: complete closeout binder, commissioning reports, tenant-ready certificates of occupancy, owner training sessions.
Warranty & Ongoing Support
Standard one-year general warranty, with manufacturer warranties on key systems (roof, MEP equipment) extending further. KGC returns at 6 months for a warranty walk. And if something comes up after that — we answer the phone. That's how we earn the next project.
Owner sees: 6-month warranty walk, direct access to the principal for warranty items, subcontractor coordination for system repairs.
You see the same job we do.
Weekly Updates
A recurring owner meeting every week during construction. Schedule, budget, change orders, look-ahead. On your calendar, on the same day, every week.
Open-Book Budget
All subcontractor bids and actual costs visible to the owner. Savings on scope buy-outs flow back to the owner, not to KGC.
Principal Access
The KGC principal running your project is reachable by phone and email. Not through a PM, not through a receptionist.
Photo Documentation
Weekly site photos organized by trade and date — the paper trail for financing, insurance, and your own records.
Change Order Discipline
Every change order logged, priced, and signed before work proceeds. No retroactive surprises on the final invoice.
