Transforming Communities Through Integrated Design & Construction Excellence
About us
Established in St. Louis in 1980, KAI Enterprises has grown into one of the leading and most respected design and build firms. We provide delivery-oriented building solutions nationwide with a diverse portfolio of experience, 150+ in-house multi-discipline professionals, and expertise in both design and construction delivery. More importantly, we are designers and builders out to make a difference in our communities. Through our integrated design and build strategy, we offer both award-winning design services (architecture, interior design and engineering) and build services (general contracting and program, project and construction management) all under one roof. Our goal is to incorporate these two strengths to deliver the best value, solution and people to achieve your vision, budget and schedule. Currently serving as the Executive Architect for the National Juneteenth Museum, KAI seeks out culturally conscious, and politically sensitive projects that will make lasting differences in the lives they touch. KAI was built upon a foundation of teamwork and collaboration and has since grown into one of the largest minority-owned firms in the AEC industry. For more than 40 years, we have been instrumental in transforming communities through its expertise in residential, commercial, K-12, higher education, healthcare, science and technology, aviation, mobility, sports and entertainment, government, water and community-focused projects. https://linktr.ee/kaienterprises

The Hope and Restoration Community Center recently broke ground on its new 17,000-square-foot residential treatment center.

Our booth at #txEDCON24 is a must see. KAI partnered with award-winning artist Jeremy Biggers to create a new backdrop inspired by our mission of #TransformingCommunities. According to Texas-based Biggers, “This mural is not just about transformation; it’s about the power of unity and the hope we must foster within our communities to create lasting change. By focusing on the hands of children, we are reminded of the purity of our intentions, the importance of collective effort, and the shared responsibility we have in cultivating a brighter future.” Be sure to stop by booth #1141 to see this artwork in person, take a selfie, visit with the KAI team, and learn more about our transformative K-12 work! #EducationDesign #AEC #Design #Architecture #Engineering #Construction #JeremyBiggers #ArtandDesign
