Illinois Laborer

About Us

KCI is one of the more diverse self-performing contractors in the Midwest, with the expertise and ability to successfully perform on a wide range of projects. Any one of us can be found working on a design-build multi-story building one day, then a wastewater plant the next, and highway infrastructure after that. KCI began in 1922 and is now an employee-owned construction company with offices in St. Louis and Springfield, Missouri. We are a team of builders and problem-solvers, who believe in doing things the right way.
