What KBS Constructors Inc. does

KBS Constructors, Inc. is a private regional construction services firm founded in 1989 and headquartered in Topeka, Kansas, with a second office in Olathe, Kansas serving the Kansas City metro. The company delivers an integrated portfolio of construction services including Preconstruction Consulting, Design/Build, Construction Management, and General Contracting, anchored by a Critical Environment Construction specialty covering sensitive or occupied environments such as research facilities, data centers, BSL3 laboratories, 911 call centers, hospitals, and active business operations where contamination or business interruption cannot be tolerated. KBS employs 101–250 staff and operates an in-house skilled trades workforce supplemented by a State of Kansas accredited apprenticeship program requiring 144 hours of annual instruction over up to four years.

The company generates revenue through project-based engagements with enterprise, institutional, and government clients across Kansas and Missouri, acquired via competitive bidding, negotiated contracts, and construction management at risk arrangements. Named customers span at least nine verticals — Manufacturing/Industrial, Corporate/Commercial, Healthcare/Medical, Bioscience/Research, Data/Telecom, Public Sector/Justice, Education, Religious, and Zoos/Recreational — including CenturyLink, KCP&L, BNSF Railway, Westar Energy, University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Kansas Army National Guard, and Huhtamaki. The company is led by President Matt Charvat, COO Sam Stallbaumer, and Founder/Advisor Dan Foltz, with no disclosed external institutional ownership. A separately formed KBS Foundation (since September 2009) extends the firm's community positioning around children's health charities in the Kansas region.
