Your Partner in Project Delivery
At Kiewit, we take a fundamentally different approach to project development and delivery. While some competitors focus on maximizing billable engineering hours through prolonged studies, we identify value-adding opportunities and assess feasibility with honesty and rigor. When a project has a clear path to success, we bring the full weight of our multidisciplinary expertise and integrated teams to help advance it with confidence. When it doesn’t, we’re upfront, helping clients avoid wasted time and costs on concepts that don’t make economic sense.
Execute with Confidence
Our unique integration of in-house engineers and self-perform construction teams creates a hands-on approach that improves constructability, streamlines execution and minimizes risk from day one. Whether your project requires a collaborative or more traditional delivery method, we tailor our approach to meet your goals and execute with confidence.

Matching Your Project Vision with the Right Approach
Today’s complex infrastructure and energy projects often benefit from more flexible approaches to project delivery. By engaging construction, engineering and procurement teams earlier in the project development and design phases, alternative and collaborative models can:
- Enhance collaboration
- Improve schedule certainty and minimize design risks
- Optimize estimates, minimizing change orders and unforeseen expenses
- Appropriately allocate risk, ensuring shared accountability among stakeholders
Design-Build (DB)
The design-build (DB) model streamlines project delivery by integrating design and construction under a single contract, fostering collaboration, reducing risks and accelerating schedules. Unlike bid-build methods where design and construction are separate, design-build allows for concurrent work, allowing for greater efficiency and cost control.
Kiewit combines engineering, procurement and self-perform construction teams to identify opportunities and begin creating value early in the design-build project — helping mitigate risk, avoid delays and eliminate disconnects between design and field teams throughout the project.
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC)
Large-scale industrial, energy and infrastructure projects demand precision, efficiency and reliability. The EPC model streamlines execution with a single contractor managing design, procurement and construction — ensuring cost certainty, schedule reliability and reduced owner risk.
Kiewit’s engineering, procurement and self-perform construction teams bring a holistic approach to project development that leads to the safest-to-construct, simplest and most cost-effective solutions for even the most complex EPC projects, reducing the risks of schedule delays and design-driven cost overruns.
Driving Project Success with Construction-Focused Engineering
Backed by a dedicated engineering and design organization more than 4,000 employees strong, Kiewit’s construction-focused engineering approach drives safe, simple and cost-effective solutions, minimizing the risks of delays and cost overruns.
Engineering capabilities
A Leader in Self-Perform Construction
By directly managing crucial aspects of the build, we help our clients safely complete projects of all sizes with greater cost and schedule certainty.
Construction capabilities
CM/GC and CMAR
Under Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) and Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) models, owners work with separate teams for design and construction. The client, designer, contractor and key stakeholders collaborate early to eliminate surprises, enhance designs, plan material acquisition and early work packages, develop transparent estimates and create predictable schedules.
Kiewit brings people, processes and a proven track record of experience with CM/GC and CMAR projects across a wide range of infrastructure, water and transportation projects. Our preconstruction expertise, real-time pricing insight and self-perform capabilities work together to inform and support design decisions that enhance the project outcome. It’s a collaborative, lower-risk path forward for certain complex infrastructure and transportation projects.
Progressive Design-Build
Progressive Design-Build (PDB) brings clients, designers and contractors together early to form a unified team. Using a phased approach, PDB allows the design and scope to evolve in real time, offering flexibility to refine priorities, budgets and schedules as more project details come into focus.
By integrating engineering, procurement and construction under one roof, Kiewit’s hands-on approach makes the PDB model ideal for complex or high-risk projects. Our collaborative planning helps clients make informed decisions throughout the project life cycle — with the ability to adjust direction when needed to align with their goals.
Alliance/Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
Complex, schedule-sensitive projects benefit from the collaborative strength of Alliance or Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) models. This model aligns the owner, designer, contractor and key partners within a single agreement, promoting transparency, shared accountability and collective problem-solving.
With shared risk and reward, the team is united by common performance goals and empowered to make joint decisions that prioritize value, innovation and project success. Kiewit’s ability to integrate design, procurement and self-perform construction capabilities makes us a strong partner for Alliance/IPD projects.
Public-Private Partnerships (P3)
Public-Private Partnerships (P3) offer a flexible approach for complex projects by combining private investment with public resources. The P3 model typically involves an agreement between a public owner and a private sector partner for the design, construction, financing, and often long-term operations and maintenance of the project.
It provides owners with access to alternative financing, risk transfer and lifecycle cost certainty while accelerating project timelines.
As an engineer, contractor and investor, Kiewit brings unmatched integration and accountability to P3s. From early development and financing to construction and long-term performance — we have expertise at every stage, helping public clients deliver high-quality infrastructure without compromising control or outcomes.
