KE&G Construction, Inc.

Employee-owned heavy civil contractor constructing infrastructure

Overview

KE&G Construction builds essential infrastructure in the Southwest, focusing on heavy civil and commercial projects such as roads, bridges, utilities, flood control, and water systems. Its work is executed through a dedicated team of employee-owners who directly share in the company’s success, reflecting the firm’s ESOP structure. The company operates in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas and recently added a commercial division to diversify its portfolio. What sets KE&G apart is its transition from a local homebuilder to a 100% employee-owned heavy civil contractor, creating a culture of accountability and long-term commitment to projects and communities. Its goal is to expand its regional footprint while delivering reliable infrastructure work through a fully engaged, employee-owned workforce.
