HISTORY

KONSTRUCT was founded in 2020 by Steven Koniuk, P.E., R.A., as a creative outlet to pursue his passion for real estate development while maintaining complete control over the design and engineering process. What began as a personal project quickly gained traction among industry peers and colleagues, leading Steven to open the doors to KONSTRUCT and accept new clients. The company’s focus on integrated design and engineering solutions helped KONSTRUCT grow rapidly, offering services that span pre-development consulting, architecture, engineering, and tax-abatement / program administration. Over time, KONSTRUCT earned a strong reputation in both commercial and residential construction.

Steven’s unique background as both a licensed architect and professional engineer—an uncommon combination—gives KONSTRUCT a rare and valuable edge in the industry. Throughout his career, Steven has spent years learning the nuances of the pre-development process, from financial modeling and capital syndication to site acquisition and zoning analysis. He has applied this extensive knowledge to seamlessly integrate both architectural and engineering expertise with the perspective of a developer. This uncommon combination of skills has allowed Steven to uniquely navigate complex projects, offering clients a more holistic, efficient approach to design, engineering, and development.

In 2024, KONSTRUCT reached a pivotal moment by acquiring Steven S. Cohen Architect, PC, expanding the company’s capabilities and enhancing its position in the market. As part of this expansion, KONSTRUCT established KONSTRUCT Residential, which focuses on small-scale projects for individual homeowners, and KONSTRUCT Engineering, which provides commercial consulting services to architects and developers. Additionally, through a strategic partnership with Acuity Consulting Services, KONSTRUCT has broadened its offerings to include housing administration and planning services. This multifaceted structure positions KONSTRUCT as a full-service provider, capable of delivering innovative solutions across multiple sectors.

In 2025, KONSTRUCT further strengthened its leadership by bringing on experienced partners, Nicholas Nassiff, PP, and Bob Riordan, PE, to enhance the company’s pre-development, planning, and engineering services. With a strong focus on creating long-term value for clients, The Firm continues to build strategic partnerships that foster growth, while prioritizing thoughtful collaboration and innovative problem-solving across its diverse range of services.

As The Firm continues to evolve, we are embracing the future by integrating cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, automated workflows, and 3D LiDAR scanning into our business operations. This forward-thinking approach enables us to optimize design, engineering, and pre-development services, enhancing efficiency and delivering even more value to our clients. By leveraging AI and these advanced technologies, KONSTRUCT stays ahead of industry trends, offering innovative solutions that meet the demands of an increasingly digital and fast-paced world.

Our commitment to adopting emerging technologies, coupled with our dedication to seeking out highly respected organizations and partnerships, ensures that we remain agile, responsive, and positioned for sustainable growth and excellence across all facets of our business.
