Building on more than six decades of construction excellence.
Years
Our company was founded on an unwavering commitment to teamwork, transparency and integrity. More than 60 years later, those values continue to guide every relationship we build and every project we deliver.
Today, Kadean is organized into dedicated Industrial, Healthcare and Commercial Business Units, allowing us to provide specialized expertise while maintaining the collaborative, client-focused approach that has defined our company for decades. Supported by our offices in St. Louis, Kansas City and Philadelphia, we serve clients nationwide with solutions tailored to their unique goals.
Our First Call philosophy reflects who we strive to be every day: a trusted partner clients can rely on long before construction begins, throughout every phase of a project and long after the work is complete. That commitment to relationships, communication and accountability has earned the trust of clients who continue to make Kadean their First Call.
Our History
For more than 60 years, Kadean has been built on one simple belief: strong relationships create better outcomes. From our founding in 1963 to the specialized business units we serve today, every milestone has been driven by a commitment to earning our clients’ trust and becoming their First Call.
