Leone & Keeble

What Leone & Keeble does

Leone & Keeble is a privately held, full-service commercial general contractor headquartered in Spokane, Washington, providing construction management, general contracting, design-build, GC/CM, and pre-construction services to institutional and private clients across Washington and Idaho. Founded in 1930 as Hazen and Clark and rebranded under its current name in 1992 following acquisition by Craig Leone and Paul Keeble, the company operates as a merit shop (non-union) contractor with 101–250 employees and a leadership team anchored by President Jeramie Keeble (with the firm since 1995). Its core service offering is project-based construction delivery, where pricing is quote-based and contracts are awarded via competitive bidding or negotiated agreement; pre-construction services alone account for an estimated 60–75% of annual workload, reflecting an emphasis on early-stage client engagement and cost/schedule certainty.

The company executes projects across education (higher education and K-12), healthcare, civic/government, commercial, tribal, faith-based, and hospitality verticals, with completed and ongoing work for clients including Eastern Washington University, Lewis-Clark State College, Whitman College, North Idaho College, Central Valley School District, the City of Richland, the City of Coeur d'Alene, the Coeur d'Alene and Colville Tribes, Providence, Kootenai Health, Bonner General Hospital, Numerica Credit Union, and the Coeur d'Alene Casino & Resort. Notable recent projects include the 40,840 SF Richland City Hall (2019, Progressive Design-Build), the 85,000 SF Horizon Middle School renovation and 12,500 SF addition (2020, GC/CM), and the 86,000 SF Schweitzer Career & Technical Education Center (2021, CM/GC joint venture).

Technology and capability credentials include two LEED Accredited Professionals on staff and demonstrated sustainable building delivery with LEED Platinum certification on the Whitman College Stanton Residence Hall and LEED Gold on the 170,000 SF Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Expansion; the EWU Pence Union Building project has received multiple international and regional design honors including the BLT Built Global Design Award (Education), a WAN Bronze, and citations from AIA New England, AIA Washington Council, ACUI, and the Boston Society for Architects. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors or parent company, and it relies on direct client engagement, project portfolio marketing, and industry awards for demand generation rather than digital or paid channels.
