Celebrating 25 Years

Create Tomorrow Together

What started on a piece of notebook paper between two gentlemen in Kansas City 25 years ago has evolved into more than 600 employee-owners across the Midwest. From our firm foundation to now, our emphasis has been on creating a people-first approach to serving our clients.

Drawing from our core values of Integrity, Performance and Relationships, our unique approach is rooted in the customer experience, planned growth, hiring the best employees, honesty and integrity. What was written down more than 25 years ago endures as our guiding principles today and moving forward.

Customer Experience

We bring our clients along on a journey to create bright futures together. Construction can be notoriously hectic but by viewing it as a partnership rather than a transaction, we hope to leave a lasting impact for future generations.

Planned Growth

We are future-focused and never stop at status quo. Our business constantly evolves, and we remain ambitious in finding the best solutions for our clients and associates. By anticipating the market our teams continue to successfully expand in new regions and sectors, providing clients across the nation with our unique approach to design and construction.

Hiring the Best Employees

We believe in mutually beneficial relationships not only with our clients, but also our associates. Our driven and passionate team members stand out in the industry and embody our core values. They are building tomorrow’s dreams while creating their own future through a top-performing Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

Honesty & Integrity

Strong moral principles were the foundation of McCownGordon and guide every decision we make, now and in the future. We cultivate high levels of trust at every level including associates, clients and communities.

We are excited about our next 25 years and can’t wait to create tomorrow together with you!
