it with others. Below are several photographs in various different categories
to provide a visual illustration of KCI’s versatility in our capabilities.

were put to use and we were responsible for the rough and finish carpentry

Club now provides a relaxing escape from the hectic city atmosphere
while still being conveniently located in the middle of it thanks,
in part, to KCI’s exceptional work.

in addition to overseeing this job, KCI provided their own Carpentry
and Millwork services which included installation of framing and drywall
at this location. This job highlights KCI’s value engineering
capabilities, where we achieved cost efficiency while maintaining
high quality. KCI’s Millwork team worked extensively with the
owner to utilize existing casework and display areas which we then
retrofitted and modified to fit into the design space that you see

Richard Bennett Custom Tailors is a beautiful example of KCI’s

Qdoba Mexican Grill Knudsen Construction, Inc. was a natural
choice as the general contractor of the 175 West Jackson Blvd. location
of Qdoba Mexican Grill. Being familiar with the ins and outs of the
building and our extensive experience with the city of Chicago’s
requirements provided KCI with the ability to alleviate a large amount
of stress, while also offering suggestions as to the best way to approach
different tasks. Because of KCI’s familiarity with the city
of Chicago and the job location, our input on the design and installation
of the fire and sprinkler systems, electrical, HVAC and plumbing was
of great significance to all parties in this job. As a restaurant
job, code compliance is a major factor when connecting equipment,
however, KCI’s experience with other restaurants in the past
proved this to be a very capable task for KCI. In addition to our
supervision, we also self-performed the drywall, acoustical ceiling
and framing at Qdoba, as well as the installation of soap, lid and
towel dispensers, table and countertops, coat hooks and knife holders.
KCI also coordinated the installation of the security systems and
maintained responsibility for the security of the job until its completion.

in a variety of different roles.

and kitchen equipment. Under KCI’s supervision the Wow Bao space
was completed accurately and efficiently. In addition to our supervision,
our Millwork team fabricated and installed their Corian countertops
as well as the register counter and gate. Our self-performed services
were also utilized in the drywall, framing, doors, hardware and acoustical
ceiling installation. As this was a restaurant space, it was an asset
for KCI to have the ability to install items such as hoods and fans.
KCI shows through different locations, especially restaurants where
there are specific items required, our versatility and adaptability
from one job to the next.
