At Kolbe Construction Services, Inc., we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, cost-effective solutions for a wide range of construction projects, from historic restorations to modern office renovations. Our team brings a deep commitment to preserving the heritage of turn-of-the-century buildings, ensuring historical accuracy while meeting modern building codes.

With a reputation for integrity and craftsmanship, KCSI is your trusted partner for any construction endeavor.
KCSI’s team strives to ensure their work on Turn of the Century projects are historically accurate while attending to all details of building codes. A large part of restoration costs can be attributed to finding and manufacturing materials and KCSI’s relationships with industry manufacturers create a cost-effective strategy to match the original building features. Working closely with the client to completely understand the history of a Turn of the Century modification project allows the KCSI team to deliver spectacular results while maintaining the structure’s heritage.
“It has been our pleasure to work with Dave Kolbe for over ten years. During that time we have come to respect his professionalism and expertise. Regardless of the scope of the project, we know that we can count on it being completed in a timely, competent manner and that Dave will be available to ensure the quality of the work. These attributes as well as Dave’s honesty and integrity have led us to use Kolbe Construction Services exclusively.”

KCSI’s value engineering work when performed early in the design process has repeatedly produced results that maximize our client’s program while maintaining or improving the construction budget. The KCSI team ensures value engineering takes place continuously through the design process to avoid ending up with costs that are over budget.
Clients rely on KCSI to select and contract with various subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, carpentry, etc. Doing the best job for clients sometimes requires some non-traditional approaches. KCSI presents various options, including competitive bidding, value engineering and time-and-material contracts that may help reduce the costs or shorten the construction timeframe. While there are many variables in the general contracting arrangement, there are also many constants when working with KCSI. You can expect constant communication on project status, adherence to a well-conceived and deeply detailed construction schedule, thorough training and monitoring of safety procedures and a well-managed construction site.
Kolbe Construction did an outstanding job handling our buildout. We entered the project as novices with high demands and a tight budget. Kolbe worked carefully to educate and keep us informed throughout the 8-month project. They worked closely and effectively with our design team to understand and bring their vision to life.
Kolbe’s team kept on top of changes and we saw no surprises throughout the project. They were a pleasure to work with and brought a positive enthusiasm to the job. They brought sub-contractors to the project that met or exceeded our high quality demands. Kolbe managed those subs very well.
They met our demanding time schedule and followed-thru to complete all open items after we moved into the building.
The finished product was fantastic, exceeded our expectations and has had a positive impact on our business. I would recommend them for your project.”

“I’ve worked with Dave for over 10 years and we’ve never had a contract. I know placing my client in the hands of the KCSI team is as good as taking care of them myself. The Neace Lukens staff was overjoyed with the end result.”

Construction management is a process involving many people and the professionals at KCSI never lose sight that we represent our clients’ best interests. The KCSI team identifies and resolves issues before construction begins. In addition, we prepare independent cost estimates and review the ongoing design for potential cost savings. During construction, the KCSI team closely monitors project progress including payments, scheduling issues, change orders and other factors affecting cost and implementation. Throughout the process, KCSI team members interact regularly with our design partners and trade contractors to ensure projects receive the very highest commitment to quality workmanship and attention to our detail.
