Kingery Construction

What Kingery Construction does

Kingery Construction Co. is a privately held, family-owned general contractor founded in 1924 in Lincoln, Nebraska, and now operating under its fourth generation of family leadership. The firm provides design-bid-build, design-build, construction management, general contracting, and pre-bond/pre-construction advisory services to institutional, commercial, and government clients, primarily in Nebraska and the broader Midwest. Project delivery is project-based and quote-driven, secured through competitive bidding and direct relationship-based engagement with project owners, architects, and design teams; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The company serves seven primary verticals: K-12 education, higher education, faith-based organizations, government/public sector (including military and correctional facilities), financial services, healthcare, and corporate/industrial clients. Notable technical capabilities include LEED Silver-certified sustainable construction (NE ANG Building 600), historic preservation work (Nebraska State Capitol courtyard fountains recreating 1929 bronze designs; Doane University's Whitcomb Conservatory), and large-scale industrial facility delivery (Kawasaki Motors expansions exceeding 500,000 sq ft). The firm reports no software or AI-based technology stack and operates through a qualified subcontractor and supplier network.

Kingery generates revenue exclusively via direct project engagement, with no resellers or distribution intermediaries. Go-to-market is enterprise/field sales: the team pursues competitive bids, develops long-cycle institutional relationships, and leverages brand equity built over a century of continuous operation. In 2023 the company acquired Omaha Construct Inc., establishing a second office in Omaha and extending geographic reach into Iowa and the broader Midwest. The firm has earned 14 consecutive AGC Nebraska Safety Awards and received multiple 2025 leadership and industry recognitions, including LIBA Business Owners of the Year for principals Rod Berens and Rick Wintermute.
