KBE Improves Ranking on ENR’s 2014 Top Contractors List

Farmington, Conn. – KBE Building Corporation, earned spot #281 on the 2014 Top 400 Contractors list, improving 45 spots compared to its 2013 ranking.

Published annually in May, Engineering News-Record’s Top 400 list  ranks publicly held and privately held contractors based on construction contracting-specific revenue.

KBE’s ENR recognition is just one of the firm’s 2014 honors; in January, the firm won six awards from the Associated Builders and Contractors – Connecticut Chapter, including its most prestigious award, the Merit Cup. KBE’s director of preconstruction, Kenneth Russo,  was recently awarded the CCSU Construction Industry Award.

KBE has also won STEP (Safety Training and Evaluation Process) Awards of Achievement every year since 1995.

Owner and CEO Mike Kolakowski said, “One of the biggest rewards we get as a firm is helping our community through our charitable giving program, 50 Ways to Make a Difference, that has helped KBE associates donate more than $1.2 million and 5,000 volunteer hours to charitable causes in Connecticut and Maryland.
