The Advantage

Keeley’s self-perform capabilities offer incredible advantages to our customers. Using our crews for various aspects of a project can give us the ability to accelerate schedules because we have our own people doing the work, making it easier for us to control.


Keeley has a robust Quality Management Program that guides our team through a project, ensuring we do the work right the first time. This allows us to provide quality assurance as our Quality Program and dedicated Director of Quality supports and enforces the work that we do.


Finally, our safety culture, KeeleySafe, and safety record are second to none. We work hard to spread our safety culture to our people from leadership through every team member and subcontractor onsite. We provide resources that empower our teams to call out unsafe acts, making sure that every single person makes it home at the end of the day. This culture gives our customers peace of mind knowing that they are going to receive an extremely safe project.


“If you can get out of the ground under budget and on or under time, it’s really difficult for a project to go sideways. We provide surety, control, and we really create that foundation for the entire project’s success.”

-Tom Birkemeier, President of Keeley Construction
