K. Van Dyke and Associates

It has been a lot of fun. There have also been times of very hard work, but it all paid off. I had a good career, and I am grateful. And now it is time to put it behind me. I plan to be fully retired starting in 2024.

I began my construction career in 1974 as a carpenter’s helper and also as a landscape laborer. I learned the carpentry trade and worked on residential projects, then became a construction crew supervisor, then became a project manager, then became a general contractor. I have worked on residential remodeling, new single- family construction, new multi-family construction, adaptive reuse of existing buildings for multi-family, commercial remodeling and adaptive reuse, and new commercial construction. I have had many opportunities to engage in the design process, which I very much enjoyed. We have explored a variety of new construction materials and methods, and always sought to have a sustainable process and an efficient product. I have enjoyed working with a group of dedicated and creative colleagues in all trades and related professions.

And now after 50 years it is time for me to focus on other interests and leave construction to younger folks. Thank you to all my clients, colleagues and associates.
