Kemp Management Solutions

What Kemp Management Solutions does

Kemp Management Solutions (KMS) is a Birmingham, Alabama-based program management and consulting firm founded in 2011 by J. Michael Kemp, Sr. The company represents owner interests across the full project lifecycle for clients executing large portfolios of construction and renovation work, spanning preconstruction (constructibility review, estimating, scheduling, bid and contract management), project management, construction management, FF&E coordination, and move management. KMS targets enterprises with multi-site footprints—primarily financial institutions, state and local government agencies, and large public venues—and reports managing 600+ projects per year with $7B+ in cumulative project value across nearly two dozen states.

The firm's central technology asset is Frameworq, a proprietary project management platform purpose-built for high volumes of small projects across multiple locations. Frameworq consolidates scheduling, reporting, cost control, and stakeholder communication into a single environment and is used to manage 70+ annual projects for Regions Bank alone. For ALDOT's $735M bridge replacement program—the largest in the agency's history—KMS built a custom backend database that tracked 10,665 activities and coordinated 2,316 bridge segments.

KMS generates revenue through professional services fees on consulting engagements, operating as a turnkey outsourced PM/CM partner rather than a software vendor. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales led by a Director of Strategic Growth and supported by executive relationships, including CEO Mike Kemp's board seats at First Horizon Bank and previously IBERIABANK. The company remains privately held, bootstrapped, and family-controlled; it employs 11–50 people, was recognized on the Inc. 5000 in 2021, and opened its first regional office in Charlotte, NC in November 2025.
