Big News From UEB Builders

UEB is proud to announce the acquisition of TK Interior Construction Company (TKIC).  Since 2005, TKIC founder Keith Sutcliffe has focused on creating highly crafted environments for many of the Southwest’s most notable restaurant, office and retail clientele.

The benefits of the combined UEB + TKIC team were first experienced by Todd Chester, principal of WDP Partners.  “UEB’s core and shell team closely integrated with TKIC’s interior specialists and provided a natural and seamless service to WDP”, said Chester.  “We saw incredible coordination for a fast tracked, design intense project that had a ton of moving parts.”

UEB is a builder specializing in design conscious and environmentally responsible projects for the health care, commercial, higher education, hospitality and restaurant industries.
