Greenfield Office Build

The office building for the KAAPA Minden Plant was delivered as a greenfield, single-story, wood-framed structure with a sloped metal roof system. Designed to support plant operations, the facility includes a reception area, offices, conference rooms, restrooms, a nursing room and a kitchen/break room.

Delivered using a design-build approach, the project required flexibility and close collaboration as the owner remained actively involved in design decisions throughout construction. Keen Project Solutions provided critical guidance on evolving design elements, helping the client understand constructability, schedule impacts and cost implications as changes were introduced.

Keen also incorporated multiple owner-requested scope additions — including parking, site lighting, power distribution and a new septic system — while maintaining schedule integrity. Strategic value engineering early in design resulted in significant cost savings, and a complete exterior redesign was executed seamlessly with no impact to procurement or the project’s critical path.
