Ushering projects from planning stages to closeout

Our history working in industrial environments gives us the experience to provide design-build services for many types of projects. We have estimators/project managers in multiple states, licensed engineers on staff and relationships with experienced designers and detailers. Kelly leverages its fabrication and drafting abilities, skilled workforce and subcontracting partners to provide a turnkey experience.

A single source for your design and construction needs will improve build quality, minimizing communication delays and shortening the overall timeline. Proper scheduling and cost management oversight will ultimately reduce your project cost.
