Established in 1897 and privately owned and managed by the Engelsma family for over 75 years, Minneapolis-based Kraus-Anderson ® (www.krausanderson.com) is one of the oldest and most respected contractors and construction managers in the nation, with regional offices serving our clients coast to coast. Consistently ranked among the top 50 contractors in the nation according to Engineering News Record, our diversified operations also include Kraus-Anderson Development, Kraus-Anderson Realty, Kraus-Anderson Insurance and Kraus-Anderson Mortgage. Working independently or as integrated project teams, we offer vast expertise, ingenuity, financial stability and business partner networks to address a spectrum of client markets, including healthcare, high-tech, housing, education, and mixed use projects.
Drawing from Lloyd Engelsma’s credo of “Building Buildings and Building People”, we are collaborative in our approach and progressive in our vision. KA University provides career development opportunities for our employees including intern and mentoring programs, an Emerging Professionals Group, Leadership Development Group and Lean Leadership Group. We provide financial support to, and hands-on involvement with, many trade and economic development organizations; numerous educational institutions; social services and healthcare nonprofits. Our newest grass-roots initiative, KA Has Heart ®, provides employees with opportunities to do volunteer service during the work week. We are a proud member of the Minnesota Keystone program, donating in excess of 5 percent of pretax revenues to charity over the past five years.
