KAP Project Services

Our story starts in 2005 when several friends with similar backgrounds and industry experience banded together upon realizing that we could do things better than each of our current employers. We knew that if we prioritized taking care of our employees, we would attract and retain the industry’s best resources. We trusted that the work would soon follow. Within three years we surpassed our competition and have remained the largest project controls provider in the turnaround space since.

We are more than a staffing company or “body shop”. You can trust KAP to positively impact all phases in the lifecycle of your turnaround, capital, or maintenance projects through the deployment of best-in-class personnel, methodologies, and tools.

Our mission is to maximize value for our clients by delivering safe, predictable outcomes through technology-enabled, results-driven project controls solutions.

Our vision is to become the most successful and respected technology-enabled project services company in the industry.
