Construction management
Kitchell
Kitchell is a construction and real estate services company that began as a commercial contracting business and added development, program and construction management, engineering and architecture, and facility planning and maintenance as it grew. It describes itself as employee-owned and privately owned, and says it acquired complementary businesses rather than growing only organically.
Owners can engage it in several roles: as general contractor, as construction manager acting as the owner's agent providing administration and oversight, as program manager running multiple projects to a consistent standard over the life of a program, as developer, and as a facility manager taking a total-cost-of-ownership view after handover. Its sector list runs to healthcare, higher education, public safety, research and development, industrial and manufacturing, justice, student housing, K-12, public buildings, cultural projects, hospitality and casinos, retail, infrastructure, tribal work, senior living and residential communities.
Headquarters is in Phoenix, with an Arizona contracting arm and a Tucson office, Kitchell CEM and development offices in Sacramento, San Diego, Fresno, Riverside, San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles, Walnut Creek, San Jose and Irvine in California, Austin and Houston in Texas, and an office in Salt Lake City. It holds Arizona ROC licences ROC0683, ROC1476, ROC0679, ROC190191, ROC187588, ROC244846 and ROC244845, and says it is also licensed in California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington. It cites recognition including ENR's Best of the Best and a Sacramento Business Journal top construction manager ranking.
The public work shown is weighted to healthcare, education and public agencies rather than income-property asset classes. Ask which office and which entity would hold the contract, whether the role offered is agency construction management or at-risk general contracting, and confirm licensure in the project's state before going to contract.
Best for
Institutional and public owners in Arizona, California, Texas and Utah who need an owner's representative, program manager or construction manager on a healthcare, education, justice or public safety project. Small income-property renovations are not its usual work.
