KHS&S was founded in 1984 as a regional wall and ceiling contractor and enjoyed a decade of steady growth amidst the expansion of Walt Disney World, EPCOT Center and the exploding economy of Central Florida. In 1996, the company expanded westward to California and Nevada, beginning the company’s rapid ascent to becoming one of the largest specialty contractors in the United States and the national leader in themed construction.
From the beginning, KHS&S operated under the philosophy that hard work, innovation and treating customers and employees like they wanted to be treated were the keys to building a successful company. The KHS&S Board of Directors vowed not to be bound by tradition, but rather focused on services valued by customers, but untouched by competitors. Correspondingly, within a few short years of its inception, KHS&S developed a model of interstate offices, easily expanded as dictated by customer needs or growth opportunities. In addition, KHS&S developed the industry’s first dedicated preconstruction department which now encompasses a complete range of construction design services that help customers turn concepts into workable construction documents, create one-of-a-kind custom finishes or develop 3D models that virtually replicate field construction.
