"Karl, you and the KMS team are wonderful to work with. AICDC Homeward Bound- Temporary Living is an example of a project that came up on very short notice. KMS provided "on the fly" construction estimates that became the basis for our funding proposals to local and state units of government. The funding came together very quickly. KMS completed the construction on time and on budget. That is everything that we look for in a GC."

"I have worked with KMS in many capacities and various types of services from remediation and flood clean up to tenant build outs and any type of building repair I required. KMS also provides me with the services of a 40 hours per week Maintenance Technician, which has proved invaluable. Everyone that I have worked with, no matter what the capacity, has been highly professional and completed the work on time and within budget. They are literally my one stop shop for almost everything!"
