Who we serve · Heavy industrial

Major capital projects, owner-controlled

Industrial projects are large, technical and unforgiving. KBCm gives owners an independent team that audits costs, controls procurement and manages contractors on site, so the project finishes on schedule and the savings stay with the owner.

Over $300 million

in industrial projects to date, including a $250M mining project in Texas.

$20M saved

for the mining owner through audits, cost controls and procurement.

$12M saved

for an industrial developer after our audit cut costs 15 to 20%.

Heavy industrial · Frac sand

A greenfield site to a working mine and plant in 18 months

The challenge. The owner needed a complete frac sand operation built on an undeveloped site: the mine, a wash plant, dryers and load-out.

What we did.

  • Managed the build from raw ground through start-up
  • Coordinated mining, wash plant, dryer and load-out contractors
  • Oversaw about 650 workers on site at the peak
  • Rebuilt 11 miles of country road leading into the plant

The result. The complete facility, from mining to load-out, was delivered in 18 months, along with 11 miles of rebuilt access road.

$20M saved on a $250M project, delivered on schedule

The challenge. The owner had a $250 million construction project and did not have the in-house expertise to run it.

What we did.

  • Audited the project and set up cost and schedule controls
  • Managed contractors and procurement
  • Oversaw a large workforce on site

The result. Finished on time, with $20 million saved for the owner.

Industrial developer
$12M saved, with costs cut 15–20%
Industrial

An audit that cut costs 15–20% and saved $12M

The challenge. The developer had hired a general contractor but lacked the expertise to manage the contract and the costs.

What we did.

  • Audited the contractor’s costs and found them inflated
  • Replaced the contractor with new trade partners managed by KBCm
  • Renegotiated materials and labor

The result. Materials and labor came in 15–20% lower, saving the developer $12 million.

What industrial clients say

Trusted by owners and contractors

“KBCm Group has proven to be a competent and valued partner with overall leadership of the project team, in an accelerated environment, which allowed us to achieve greater speed to market; a critical element for our return on investment and to offset capital expenditure. I highly recommend them as a firm capable of scaling from small to large complex projects with seamless delivery.”
Danny Easterly, VProp Industrial client
“KBCm Group is not a typical construction management firm but is rather a true project advocate. Although they vigorously represented the owner’s expectations, we found them fair and open with the objective of a successful outcome. We would welcome the opportunity to work with KBCm Group again without hesitation.”
Roger Crider, CCC Group Industrial contractor
