This year has been a milestone year at KAST Construction. Celebrating our 10-year anniversary in 2015, we have emerged as one of the most progressive construction services companies in the country. Recognized by Engineering News Record as one of the top 400 contractors in the United States, ranking in Florida’s top 10 contractors, and honored to be among Florida Trend’s 2015 Best Companies To Work For In Florida.

KAST is intentional about creating an environment in which our employees feel good, work hard, play hard, and are absolutely valued, and it’s an honor to be recognized for the workplace we’ve created. Our awesome employees create and provide excellent service with exceptional relationships to our customers, and strengthen the family bond among and between each other. KAST invests in our employees, facilities and technology. Our employee base has grown by 30%, while turnover is virtually zero. People are and always will be our greatest asset. Each of our 143 employees is viewed as an important member of our team; their abilities and contributions are an integral part of our continued success.

Creating our amazing work environment began with our executive team focusing on designing KAST’s culture from the inside out about six years ago. We wanted to have more organizational clarity about what KAST really wanted to stand for. The very first step was the creation of a corporate culture that was based on respect for people and maintaining an environment of transparency, openness, organizational clarity, good internal communication and employee support.

Our department heads, managers and supervisors all know and understand that they have the authority — and the responsibility ­— to take measures to recognize employees and show appreciation. Departmental budgets include resources allocated to team-building activities or employee appreciation events, which keep moral high and turnover non-existent.

“We are building our company for the next 100 years says KAST’s CEO Mike Neal. I’m pretty sure that I won’t be around here in 100 years, but my fingerprints, along with the legacy left behind by my partners and senior leaders, will. It just feels better to me to think that KAST’s history and legacy will be deeply rooted in a culture that puts people before profits and our reputation will be one of quality, performance and loyalty from our customers.
