Client Rave Reviews

HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT KDW

Working with KDW to build our state-of-the-art high bay/heavy lift fabrication shop was nothing short of pleasurable and professional. Their knowledge of construction techniques is amazing and every sub-contractor that was used did impeccable work. We could not have chosen a more competent general contractor on our million-dollar expansion project.
Glenn R. TackaberryPresident, Dooley Tackaberry, Inc.
I have worked with KDW for over 12 years on very large and small projects. They are skilled at analyzing our needs and offering multiple solutions for a project. Great company and I enjoy working with them.
Michael SabadosStrategic Projects Manager, NOV
KDW was the best choice for our design/build we could ever make. From early on, they guided us through this enormous process of defining and designing the perfect building for our needs. Their expertise and experience make it easy to make the necessary decisions to get the job done and deliver on time the best results possible – the perfect building to grow our business!
Florian SchillerMAN Diesel
In 2013 WIKA Process Solutions LP and GAYESCO INTERNATIONAL LLC started working with the KDW team to design & build our brand-new manufacturing facility on a 13-acre lot in the Pasadena ship channel area. From start (concept & initial renderings) to finish (January 2015 moving in), the KDW team supported us in every step of the way.
Paul LemmensWIKA
The work and craftsmanship executed by the KDW team is truly inspiring and remarkable. They have a way of making what seems nearly impossible possible and turning your dream into a reality. Their ability to adapt and meet strict deadlines will astonish you. They were an integral part to the true success of our construction phase and allowed us to become the Premier Water Park in Austin.
Ty WeitzelGeneral Manager, Typhoon Texas – Austin
When Goya realized the need for a large facility capable of heavy production, we knew KDW would be our designer/builder and Houston would be our home. This is our second project in 6 years with KDW and the Goya team considers the KDW team part of our extended family.
