Our company started with small earthwork and concrete projects. As Kinsley continued to expand so did its capabilities to self-perform. Currently, Kinsley employs approximately 1,200 skilled field employees that contribute to self-performance of the following trades:

• Site work
• Site utilities
• Asphalt and concrete paving
• Concrete foundations
• Concrete slabs and walls
• TCA™Certified concrete tilt-up wall panels.
• AISC™ Certified structural steel fabrication and erection.
• Miscellaneous metal fabrication and installation
• Rough carpentry

The key advantages to self-performance with Kinsley are:

• We control critical path activities and improve our ability to meet the project schedule.
• A single point of responsibility reduces the coordination effort.
• Internal resources permit the team to mobilize in a shorter period of time and more efficiently.
• If a subcontractor experiences performance issues, we can supplement them with our workforce without significantly delaying the project schedule.
• TCA™Accurate project cost data is available when we self-perform construction activities.
• When projects utilize all aspects of self-performance, it produces a highly efficient vertically integrated supply chain.
• Kinsley’s culture of jobsite safety and cleanliness supports the running of an efficient and effective project.
• While Kinsley has the ability to self-perform, we will subcontract trades to best satisfy the needs of the project or the bidding requirements.
