Over the years, Joel Kenney Constructing Corp has remained loyal to their core values of safety, reliability, diversity, and affordability.
Since 1982, Joel Kennedy Constructing Corp has been known as the “go-to” provider of underground utilities and complex excavation services in Lake County and surrounding areas in the Midwest. As a company founded by a former operator, the foundation of their success lies in their clear and consistent core values.
Core Values:
Safety &Training
Joel Kennedy Constructing Corp prioritizes safety at every level of operation. From complex excavation to pipe installations and directional drilling, every project begins with a focus on doing the job right and doing it safely.
To strengthen this commitment, the company has recently teamed up with the MEA Energy Association (MEA). This relationship enhances internal training practices and supports ongoing certifications for team members.
Their experienced team of operators, laborers, foremen, and engineers has an average tenure of over 10 years. This stability ensures that each member understands and applies the highest safety standards across all services, including main & service installation, hydro excavation, restoration, ADA ramps, and more.
Reliability
Joel Kennedy Constructing Corp is built on reliability. Clients across Lake County and the Midwest know they can count on the team to show up, communicate clearly, and deliver high-quality results.
From concrete flatwork to landscaping and asphalt paving, each job is completed on time and according to plan. That’s why public and private clients trust the team with critical underground utilities and construction services—because they’ve proven themselves to be dependable over the course of over 30 years.
Diversity
Diversity is more than a goal—it’s a strength. Joel Kennedy Constructing Corp is proud of its diversity commitment, with over 70% of its labor force made up of minority individuals.
In addition to building an inclusive internal team, the company frequently collaborates with minority- and women-led businesses throughout the Midwest. These alliances bring a wider range of perspectives and skill sets to the table, strengthening project outcomes across the board.
Affordability
Joel Kennedy Constructing Corp believes that first class construction services should remain cost-effective. By maintaining an experienced team and optimizing resources, the company delivers high-value solutions without sacrificing quality.
From schools to municipalities to developers, clients can expect competitive pricing across services like pipe installations, concrete curb and gutter, and more. Reliable. Safe. Affordable. That’s the Joel Kennedy difference.
