2024 marks the twentieth anniversary of KWA Construction. In the years leading up to its twentieth anniversary, KWA has grown to be one of the most well-known multifamily construction powerhouses in Texas – building over 90 projects and delivering over 13,000 units. As a leading general contractor specializing in multifamily developments throughout Texas, KWA knows what it takes to deliver project success.
Begin With The End In Mind
Early Project Team Coordination
Efficient Project Management
Understanding & Minimizing Project Costs
The secret to multifamily success is not a secret: it’s partnering with the right team. We bring our years of expertise to the project as early as possible in the preconstruction process and form strong relationships with not only our clients, but also their architects and project engineers.”

Beginning with the End in mind
Delivering a project on time ensures developers can start to provide their units to residents in line with their desired schedule. KWA works closely with all of our clients and their project teams to formulate realistic construction schedules that will meet all critical path milestones. We use technology based solutions to closely monitor construction progress, and help identify potential problems so that we may respond quickly to minimize any delays.
Early coordination between project teams
KWA excels in environments requiring enhanced clarification and definition to effectively coordinate the building process. At KWA, we believe the key to making informed decisions about the scope and cost of a project is proper estimating and budgeting analysis. KWA has made significant investments in both technology and training to assure accurate and uniform estimates for all our projects.
Throughout the process of preparing each of our estimates, KWA conducts an extensive plan and document review. Given the complexity and crucial completion date of your project, this process is especially critical.
Following our review, KWA will coordinate a meeting (or meetings) between the owner, architect, and other applicable consultants in order to achieve the following objectives:
- Address specific concerns that we have identified with our review of the documents that have been provided.
- Discuss the proper sequencing of the project in order to meet owner turnover, while preserving construction efficiencies.
- Identify any additional issues that may require the development team’s attention in order to avoid delays and budget issues.
- Ensure the interests of all parties involved with your project are perfectly aligned.
Efficient Project Management
Once construction commences, KWA will continue to work proactively to minimize potential disruptions or cost increases by using a variety of methods that include:
- Applying the KWA “three solution” problem solving approach, requiring KWA personnel to offer at least three solutions to any problem the project may encounter, at least one of which will be a zero cost solution.
- Continued review and monitoring of the construction documents and submittal process.
- Use of a collaborative field management software that improves quality, reduces errors, and maximizes production in the field.
Understanding that the management of the project is pivotal to its ultimate success, KWA combines technology with our proven management practices to ensure that the project is run effectively. Our project managers approach each project with the belief that open and honest communication is the key to problem solving, and with the determination of making certain the project stays on track.
