Kontzamanis Graumann Smith MacMillan Inc.

We are KGS Group, an employee-owned, multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm serving clients throughout North America. Dedicated to excellence in engineering and project management, our highly experienced team of engineers, scientists and technologists provide a complete range of engineering services for nearly every market. We have the expertise to tackle almost any project, and we care enough to do it right.

Excellence is custom-made
In 1986, Demetrios Kontzamanis, Helmut Graumann, J. Bert Smith and Dave MacMillan chose to step away from traditional firms in pursuit of a shared vision. As the founding principals of KGS Group, they united under a single conviction: excellence is custom-made, and custom-made is personal. This belief defines our work to this day.

We are relationeers
Over the years, we’ve learned that success is built on trust, clear communication, proper planning and a dedication to excellence. We believe that a commitment to lasting relationships is just as critical as the expertise applied to a project’s design, and we’re proud to cultivate a culture where relationships can grow and thrive.

The KGS Commitments
Our relationships are built strong by making and fulfilling these commitments to every client on every
project:

• Continuous stewardship. Every project, including yours, benefits from a single project manager from start to finish with oversight from our most senior and experienced leaders.
• Comprehensive communication. We listen carefully, confirm assumptions, offer options and provide information in a clear and timely fashion. It’s our way of making sure we deliver what you want.
• Outperform, overdeliver. Paying close attention to small details, being on site when it’s convenient for you, not us, finding ways to go above and beyond – these are badges we wear with pride.
• Better outcomes. We take the time to plan well. It’s an investment that always pays off.

Experience in Action
Our purpose is to build lasting relationships with the promise of building things to last. To us, that means
putting our clients and our people first and never taking the easy way out. It means thinking in the long term,
not the short term, and going above and beyond on every project, every time. When you work with us, you
get the expertise of a seasoned team who understands and cares for your project as deeply as you. That’s Experience in Action.
