Relationships Are Key

Founded in 1978, Key Construction remains true to the belief that strong relationships with everyone from clients to subcontractors are the key to our success. With division locations throughout the Midwest and hundreds of projects completed throughout the country, Key Construction has become one of the country’s leading commercial contractors.

The Commercial Contractor of Choice

Key is “right-sized” to execute efficient and cost-effective commercial construction projects in a plethora of industries. Rather than focusing on mega-projects that require exorbitant construction management overhead or projects within a specific industry, we specialize in projects ranging from $1 million to $100 million within a wide range of industries.

    What Sets Us Apart: Technology

    Key has embraced technology in construction and has a variety of tools that we can bring to each project. These high-tech tools facilitate the project and enhance your experience.

    Assemble Systems Approach

    Our cloud-based software processes data from 3D models to generate highly accurate, reliable quantities in a magnitude of analytical reporting formats. The approach provides the flexibility to adapt to the details of any project while delivering highly accurate costs at the earliest stages of design.

    Laser Scanning

    Key utilizes laser scanning for high-accuracy mapping and reality capture. The laser beams quickly capture complete detail of construction projects, similar to a 360-degree photo but with an accurate position for each pixel.

    Matterport Reality Capture System

    Key utilizes the Matterport Reality Capture System to create 3D models that are reviewed at various milestones in the construction process, ensuring critical systems are correctly constructed.

Key Construction Capabilities Construction Services

Construction Services

Consistently recognized as one of the Top 400 General Contractors (ENR) in the nation and as one of the fastest growing, highest quality commercial contractors in the country, Key is poised to meet the unique needs of each commercial construction project.

Construction Manager at Risk

As a construction manager at risk, Key is the owner’s partner in the construction process, working closely with all project stakeholders to guide the project from idea, to design, to construction. Our process is completely open-book and transparent, and all savings are retained by you.

Construction Manager Advisor/Agency

For projects where the owner wishes to retain direct control of all project trades, yet wants the services of a construction manager, Key acts as an extension of your staff. 

Design-Build

Through the design-build process, Key provides both design and construction services, giving our clients a single point of contact and accelerated project delivery. 

Design-Bid-Build

For clients who prefer the traditional “Bid” method, Key acts as the general contractor. Our involvement in this market sector “keeps our pencil sharp” and helps us stay on top of cost trends in the construction marketplace. 

Integrated Project Delivery

For complex projects in which the owner seeks maximum value and speed, Key engages with you and the design team through a multi-party agreement where all parties maximize cooperation and share risks.

Program Management

Key’s program management experts oversee master planning and multi-phase development programs for our clients. Through this method, Key oversees and manages architects, engineers, construction managers and general contractors.

“Working with many different contractors throughout this project, I feel that the service and communication received with the group I dealt with were above and beyond the regular standards set forth for most contractors.

Dee Ann Randall, CBRE

“All construction managers are not equal in their commitment to quality, knowledge of construction, and customer service.
