KAI Enterprises Award-winning planning, architecture, engineering & construction firm in ATL, DFW, KC and STL. Established in St.

Louis in 1980, KAI Enterprises has grown into one of the leading and most respected design and build firms. We provide delivery-oriented building solutions nationwide with a diverse portfolio of experience, 150+ in-house multi-discipline professionals, and expertise in both design and construction delivery. More importantly, we are designers and builders out to make a difference in our communities. Through our integrated design and build strategy, we offer both award-winning design services (architecture, interior design and engineering) and build services (general contracting and program, project and construction management) all under one roof. Our goal is to incorporate these two strengths to deliver the best value, solution and people to achieve your vision, budget and schedule. Currently serving as the Executive Architect for the National Juneteenth Museum, KAI seeks out culturally conscious, and politically sensitive projects that will make lasting differences in the lives they touch. KAI was built upon a foundation of teamwork and collaboration and has since grown into one of the largest minority-owned firms in the AEC industry. For more than 40 years, we have been instrumental in transforming communities through its expertise in residential, commercial, K-12, higher education, healthcare, science and technology, aviation, mobility, sports and entertainment, government, water and community-focused projects.

A great day on the course with even better company! Members of our KAI Build team enjoyed connecting with industry partners at the ASA Midwest Council’s 39th Annual Golf Tournament & Dinner. ⛳

This year’s theme, “Building Community from Tee to Green,” felt right at home with KAI. Transforming Communities means more than delivering great projects. It means building strong relationships with the subcontractors, trade partners and colleagues who help make that work possible.

Thanks to ASA Midwest Council for bringing our industry together. See you next year!

Our team had a great week connecting with fellow architects and industry professionals at the 2026 National Organization of Minority Architects national conference in South Florida! 🌴

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth during this year’s expo. With a strong contingent of NOMA members across KAI, the conference is always a valuable opportunity for our team to connect with fellow members from across the country, exchange ideas and build relationships.

During Saturday’s session, “On the Leading Edge of Cultural Design: Reimagining The Black Academy of Arts and Letters,” KAI leaders Derwin Broughton, Darren James and Brien Graham joined L’Rai Mathis of Local Projects to discuss how design excellence, cultural stewardship and interdisciplinary collaboration are shaping a renewed, equitable and future-focused vision for TBAAL in Dallas.

We were proud to sponsor this year’s conference and support an event that brings architects from across the country together to share ideas, strengthen connections and celebrate excellence in architecture.

Thanks to NOMA for another memorable conference. We’re already looking forward to next year! ☀️

The Upton project is officially in full swing! 🚧

Our Build team is excited to help bring new life to the iconic former 7UP headquarters as construction gets underway to transform the landmark building into The Upton, a vibrant new residential community in Clayton.

We’re excited to share that Micah Gray, KAI’s Director of Technology & Innovation, will be speaking this Friday at Confluence Lexington 2026, hosted by AVAIL in Lexington, Kentucky!

Micah will join industry leaders from Pepper Construction and GRAPHISOFT for the Design to Construction Panel, exploring how design intent, project data and institutional knowledge can better connect design and construction while creating valuable feedback loops that improve future project delivery.

We’re looking forward to seeing Micah contribute to the conversation as AEC technology leaders come together to explore what it takes to build a future-ready firm that can adapt to the challenges ahead.

Transforming Communities starts with Communication 🗣️💡🖋️

It was a privilege to host a design charrette to launch the replacement project for Dallas ISD's Irma Rangel Young Women's Leadership School, in collaboration with Dallas ISD Administration and Staff as part of the district's 2026 Bond Program.

Community engagement sits at the heart of our design approach. These collaborative sessions ensure that the voices, needs, and aspirations of students, educators, families, and stakeholders help shape the project from the earliest stages of design through construction. The charrette provided an opportunity for our team and project partners to listen, learn, and incorporate valuable perspectives that will guide the creation of a school designed to serve its community for generations to come.
