The information provided will give you an excellent overview of Kellogg Kimsey's commercial construction capabilities here in Florida and around the nation, but as the principals of the firm, we wanted to personally thank you for visiting. As you view construction managers' or commercial contractors' websites or brochures, you will notice that many of them look very similar and contain many of the same claims. The only way to be credible is to have tangible evidence to support your claims. That is why we have included many of our clients' comments throughout the website, to confirm our high level of performance in construction management and general contracting.
Often when we meet with prospects for the first time, they say something similar to "We have used several general contractors in the past, but wish we could find the one we can trust and depend on for all of our future commercial construction projects. " Then, after they use Kellogg & Kimsey to construct their first project, they look no further. Our ability to build around the state of Florida and across the U.S. successfully is an advantage our clients enjoy. From retail & restaurant construction to hospitality & resort construction to other general contracting projects like banks & offices, 92% of our business in the past five years has been with repeat clients and 88% when we started building twenty years ago.
It's not just because we do the basics of construction management and general contracting well; managing project costs, building with high quality, and meeting demanding schedules, it's our people and how they execute throughout the projects. The journey is as important as the destination. The real difference between Kellogg & Kimsey vs. other construction management and general contracting firms is our top notch, experienced employees that can meet the high expectations of our commercial construction clients. "Professional" is the word we hear most often to describe our team. Great workplaces attract great people and great people do great work. We, as owners of the firm, have always been committed to making Kellogg & Kimsey that great workplace and regular employee surveys provide valuable feedback to help us. On a daily basis, we look for opportunities to recognize employees when they receive a "WOW" from our commercial construction clients for their outstanding efforts.
One key concept in our general contracting philosophy is "prevention vs. correction." Our processes and communication enhance our ability to do things right the first time, avoiding rework and all of the related issues associated with it. As Southwest Florida's premier commercial general contractor, we embrace "continuous incremental improvement." Each day Kellogg & Kimsey employees are looking for ways to make each of our processes better!
Kellogg & Kimsey's ability to advise our general contracting clients and the commercial construction design team during the pre-construction phase, to bring best value to the project, is one of our strengths. We recently served on a hand-picked task team of a national retailer as one for four general contractors across the U.S. to determine how to reduce cost and time to construct for their prototype building. With the current market conditions, our value engineering and suggestions have made a difference in our developers' projects in retail & restaurant construction, hospitality & resort construction, multi-family construction, church construction, office construction, and other commercial construction markets.
Names such as Barnes & Noble, Kohl's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Ross Dress for Less, Best Buy, Ritz Carlton, Marriott, Hilton, Starwood, 5/3 Bank, and Regions Bank represent the caliber of clients/projects that we build. Our work with industry leaders gives the private developers we work with a high level of confidence in Kellogg & Kimsey.
Perhaps one of the most important benefits our general contracting clients enjoy the most by working with Kellogg & Kimsey – it enables them to do what they do best – focus on their core businesses. Another benefit of our strong performance is the reduced risk for the project and the client. We often hear, "I don't have to worry about Kellogg & Kimsey jobs." With that confidence, everyone connected to the project can sleep easier.
An industry study discovered that the primary factor in choosing a construction manager or general contractor is whether the owner feels the firm is a "good fit" for their company. If you have a pre-construction or commercial construction need, please give us a call so you can determine if we might be a "good fit" for you.
Sincerely,
Phil Kellogg, President
Charles Kimsey, Executive Vice President
David Pfeil, Vice President of Operations
