Building Relationships

We’re a commercial construction services firm dedicated to building premium projects — and robust relationships.

People matter

Strong bonds are the foundation of our firm. At KBE-NY, we know that every project starts with a relationship — with our clients, design partners, trade firms, employees, regulatory agencies, and many more individuals who work together to construct a building.
For our part, KBE-NY brings respect, candor, and trust, as well as a shared commitment and passion for doing our best work.

Leadership

With the seasoned leadership of Bruno Guarini and Will Telesca, KBE-NY embodies the metro New York spirit of perseverance, adaptability, and ingenuity.

Offering over six decades of combined experience, they face challenges head-on and build scenarios for success for our clients. Together, they have guided more than 5 million square feet of construction within the region’s rigorous regulatory environment.

Whether working as your General Contractor, Construction Manager, or collaboratively in Design-Build, Bruno and Will provide hands-on leadership on every project, no matter how large or small. They lead our seasoned Preconstruction and Construction teams to ensure the project exceeds our clients’ exacting expectations.

KBE-NY assisted in identifying certain problems well
before they became apparent, thereby allowing for
a more organized and streamlined approach.”
