Kirby Nagelhout Construction has transformed from regional builder to major Northwest contractor, nearly doubling its annual volume to $300 million in 2024.

The company, celebrating 39 years in business, added more than 70 employees last year, bringing its workforce to over 200 professionals across offices in Bend, Portland and Pendleton. Last year also brought industry recognition for KNCC, which won the Building a Better Oregon Award for the Black Butte Ranch Lodge and two 91ÊÓƵ Top Projects Awards for the Black Butte project and the Sunrise Water Authority’s Administrative & Operations Facility.

KNCC is leading one of Oregon’s largest progressive design-build projects – the City of Bend Public Works Campus. The company also manages modernization projects at Bend and Ashland high schools, the latter a joint venture with Outlier Construction, and is constructing two new Deschutes Public Library facilities.

KNCC emphasizes community involvement through a dedicated committee organizing donations and volunteer opportunities. The company recently partnered with area contractors to establish a registered apprenticeship program supporting skilled trades development in underserved regions.
Sustainability remains central to KNCC’s mission, with seven LEED-certified employees and a portfolio that includes the country’s first certified net-zero school building in Hood River.
