From Personal Practice to Scalable Innovation

From Personal Practice to Scalable Innovation

KONSTRUCT was founded in 2020 by Steven J. Koniuk, P.E., R.A., with a simple goal: to bring architecture, engineering, and pre-development under one roof in service of his own real estate projects. As both a licensed architect and engineer, Steven managed every aspect of design and delivery himself - creating a tightly integrated model that prioritized speed, precision, and developer-centric decision-making.

This approach gave him the agility to navigate entitlements, secure expiring tax abatements, and keep projects moving without the friction of siloed consultants. By 2023, it was clear the model worked - and KONSTRUCT officially evolved from a personal venture into a client-facing firm, ready to bring the same level of integration and responsiveness to others.

Built on that foundation, KONSTRUCT quickly gained traction - delivering architecture, engineering, and pre-development solutions tailored to developers, design professionals and contractors, with a reputation for technical excellence and real-world results in both commercial and residential markets.

In 2024, KONSTRUCT expanded its architectural capabilities and market reach through the acquisition of Steven S. Cohen Architect, PC. This milestone brought decades of architectural experience into the firm and helped establish clear market separation with the formation of three distinct, but highly integrated practices.

  • STEVENCOHEN | ARCHITECTURE- Code driven, highly coordinated commercial architecture backed by over 40 years of zoning and design experience.

  • KONSTRUCT | RESIDENTIAL - Hybrid: Residential architectural + engineering services, at an affordable price, tailored for homeowners and small businesses.

  • KONSTRUCT | ENGINEERING - Integrated civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services for developers and design professionals.

As demand grew, KONSTRUCT expanded the leadership team, bringing deep expertise in planning, pre-development, civil, land development, MEP engineering, housing programing and administration, and finance. This strengthened KONSTRUCT’s multidisciplinary bench and positioned the firm for expanded growth.
