KAI Names Matt Westphal As President Of KAI Design, KAI Engineering
Matt Westphal has been named president of KAI Design and KAI Engineering.
KAI has undergone a corporate restructuring as parent company KAI Enterprises with four new subsidiaries—KAI Design, KAI Engineering, KAI Build and KAI 360 Construction Services (KAI 360 CS)—each with its own president. Darren L. James, AIA, a shareholder with the firm since 2010, transitioned to president of KAI Enterprises, overseeing the holding company.
Westphal is responsible for leading, managing and maintaining accountability for the KAI Design and KAI Engineering companies.
Prior to joining KAI, Westphal was the president of Hospital Designers Inc., a subsidiary of HBE. Over the past nine years, he successfully led a team of 100+ architects and engineers specializing in the design-build of healthcare projects across the United States.
Planning, programming, and architectural and interior design services are now exclusively channeled through KAI Design. Under the new restructure, KAI Design will focus on providing design services at all KAI office locations throughout the U.S.
Through the recent acquisition of Atlanta-based Dorsey Engineering, KAI expanded its reach.
