St. Louis, MO -- KAI Design & Build, an integrated architectural,
engineering and construction services firm providing design and construction
solutions across the country for nearly 40 years, has announced a corporate
restructuring and will now be known as KAI Enterprises.
KAI Enterprises, which will simply go by KAI publicly, will
serve as the parent company of four new subsidiaries—KAI Design, KAI
Engineering, KAI Build and KAI 360 Construction Services (KAI 360 CS).

As part of the restructure, KAI will launch a new branding effort in February that includes a new corporate brand identity, logo and
tagline as well as a new website.
The name change and restructure reflects KAI’s broader commitment to its
clients and the AEC industry and unifies the company's operations under a new
core focus and set of core values.
CEO Michael Kennedy, Jr. officially launched the new structure in
October 2018, with Darren L. James, AIA, transitioning to President of
KAI Enterprises. James, a shareholder within the company since 2010, was
formerly the President and COO of KAI Texas.
"We believe in long-term, mutually beneficial
relationships with our clients and our restructuring is our investment in
continuous improvement, evolution and reinvention to better serve our clients,
staff and community.”
In 2017, Michael Kennedy, Sr., founder and chairman of KAI Design
& Build, retired and sold his company shares to his son, Michael B.
Kennedy, Jr.

The younger Kennedy decided at that time to restructure KAI
and create new entities for each of the company’s business lines under the
umbrella of a new holding company.
KAI is now poised through its four distinct business units to serve its
clients with national resources from its headquarters in St. Louis and offices
in Atlanta, Dallas, Omaha and San Antonio.
“As a shareholder of the KAI family of companies, it is my intention to
strategically place the parent company and each business unit in the most
advantageous position for growth, stability and profitability, regardless of
the external economic climate,” said James.
“As the President of KAI Enterprises, it is my role to
create opportunities that sustain our business unit’s individual goals, and
nurture and grow our staff with exciting projects with a purpose to transform
the communities we touch.”
