Akela Construction was established in 1985. We specialize in mid-size commercial / industrial projects including new buildings, renovations, retro-fits and other difficult / unique projects. Our particular strength is bringing a team of “experts from the trenches” to the design table. Our experience and extensive trade relationships enables us to provide input from the constructability point of view. This will result in cost-effective and schedule-effective solutions for the owner. Our company philosophy revolves around performing a few good projects for a few good clients – and performing them well. We are a smaller company by design as it allows us to focus on performance as opposed to quantity. We perform in the range of $10M per year in volume. Show less
