Killian Construction is a third-generation family-owned company. After nearly 75 years of operation, we’ve grown into a successful commercial general contractor. Our superior construction techniques and technology set us apart, and our emphasis on client relationships is unmatched.
We offer Owners, Developers, Architects and Subcontractors more than the promised project—we offer a truly collaborative partnership.
Carpenter J.P. Killian and his family move to Springfield, MO, also known as the Queen City of the Ozarks.
Using his experience as a hands-on carpenter, J.P. Killian founds Killian Construction with his son Bob. They begin building residential housing developments across Southwest Missouri.
Bob and his wife Betty purchase Killian Construction from J.P. and successfully build over 1,500 homes in the Springfield area.
Killian Construction crosses three generations. J.P.'s grandson, Bill Killian, officially joins the company after growing up around construction sites.
Bill buys the company from his family, becoming president and CEO. Under Bill's vision, Killian Construction explores new technology and expands its capabilities to complete more complex projects outside of the Midwest region.
Robert Low, the founder of Prime Inc., becomes a partner. He helps the company grow from a well-respected, self-performing enterprise to a successful construction firm with a national presence.
