K3 Construction Group’s roots were first established in 1982 by Jorge Kfoury as JAK Construction, Inc. Jeffrey Martello joined the firm in 1987 to assist in growing the business into a first-class construction company. In 1993 the company expanded into the Baltimore market. Due to another company in that market already having a name similar to JAK the company was renamed Kfoury Construction Group.
As the business continued to grow, so did Mr. Martello’s ownership interest and management responsibilities. In 2006 Mr. Kfoury sold the company to the existing shareholders with Mr. Martello assuming the role of President. Subsequently, the name was changed to K3 Construction Group, Inc. in 2007 to reflect the new management. The name K3 reflects our desire to provide connectivity to our past by incorporating the existing “K” logo, which pays tribute to our history. The number 3 represents the third iteration of the company name, defines the three jurisdictions of operations as DC, MD & VA and identifies the three types of work we engage in as Interiors, New Structures and Renovations. The K3 name also embraces the unbridled growth of future ownership interests.
Mr. Martello continues the journey to build a company that truly lives up to its mission statement to simply “Create Value and Build Relationships”. Our Vision is to “to provide outstanding construction services while creating an environment where success is defined when clients, business partners and individuals achieve their professional goals”.
Our Mission and Vision are fulfilled by surrounding ourselves with like-minded people who share our values and principles. We strive to be “the contractor of choice” for our clients. This status is earned through years of trusted partnership and collaboration. The diversity of our staff, and excellent vendor relationships, allow us to serve all our client’s development needs. We continue to be that valued resource by providing the timely information needed for proper planning, budgeting, scheduling, and connectivity with other industry partners to ensure the success of each project.
“We had a short window of time to complete the project and K3 was able to finish the project on time, in budget, while maintaining a high level of work quality. Our employees are extremely pleased with their new work environment.”
