Design-build construction firm KBD Group has appointed Craig Bagnoli as regional group leader for its New York and New Jersey operations.
In his new role, Bagnoli will oversee construction and design-build projects throughout the market, the company said last week. He’ll also lead regional operations, business development, project delivery and client relationships for the River Edge-based team while advancing KBDG’s continued growth in one of the nation’s most competitive construction markets.
Bagnoli brings more than 24 years of construction leadership experience, managing projects ranging from $1 million to $250 million across the commercial, residential and mixed-use sectors, according to a news release. The firm also touted his reputation for leading high-performing teams, simplifying complex challenges, strengthening client partnerships and delivering successful projects under demanding schedules and budgets.
“Craig is an exceptional leader who understands that lasting client relationships are the foundation of our business,” said Jim Goodwin, CEO and president of Atlanta-based KBD Group. “His deep experience throughout the New York and New Jersey market, collaborative leadership style and commitment to operational excellence make him the ideal person to guide our regional team as we continue to grow and deliver outstanding results for our clients.”
Part of Kajima Corp., the Tokyo-based construction giant, KBDG combines the resources of a global enterprise with the responsiveness and personal attention of a regional partner, the company said. The firm’s integrated design-build, construction management and general contracting services support clients across the commercial, industrial, manufacturing, hospitality, life sciences and mission-critical sectors.
“My top priorities for the New York and New Jersey office are to strengthen client relationships, expand our regional presence, and continuously elevate the performance of our teams,” Bagnoli said. “By focusing on operational excellence and developing strong partnerships, we are positioning KBDG Group to be the leading choice for large-scale construction projects in one of the most competitive markets in the country.”
