Kenco Construction The construction industry is growing increasingly more complex as building projects get larger, designs become more intricate and safety regulations become more prohibitive. Simple rectangular building designs with basic construction regulations have evolved into structures with complex angles and materials, along with new environmental, earthquake, safety and fire codes. As the industry progresses, contractors are delegating a lot more responsibility and ownership to subcontractors. Subcontractors are now held solely accountable for quality control on more elements of an overall project than ever before. To remain competitive and keep pace with the biggest contractors in the industry, subcontractors must have IT and administrative environments that match the reliability, performance and security of their bigger industry partners. Recognizing this trend, Kenco Construction, a specialty subcontractor based in Seattle, has made large investments in its IT infrastructure over the last several years. Founded in 1981, Kenco has established itself as a respected specialty subcontractor for architectural sheet metal, which is a growing component in modern siding and roofs. Kenco’s 50 employees help develop commercial and public works projects across Washington, Oregon and Alaska, and serve the biggest contractors in the industry, including Turner Construction and PCL. Projects the company has worked on involve many of the architectural icons of the Pacific Northwest. These include Key Arena, Safeco Field, Seattle City Hall and The Flight Museum in the Seattle area; the Rose Garden Arena in Portland; and the Alyeska Prince Hotel in Alaska. Kenco’s employees are spread across the company’s offices in Portland and Seattle, its fabrication facilities in Everett, Washington and Tualitin, Oregon, and remote job sites. Kenco often handles 20 construction projects at a time in multiple Pacific Northwest locations. Read more>
