The Kenneth Lawrence Difference

Carefully selected materials, quality craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail — just a few of the things you’ll experience by selecting us for your construction needs. When working with us, we promise consistency and detail throughout the entire duration of your project. Our team of certified builders and contractors has been carefully selected to ensure the highest quality work possible. We only accept the best, nothing less.

Throughout the entire building process, our team maintains clear and open communication with our clients. We keep you up to date on the latest development on your project. And KLD works with you every the of the way to accomplish the vision for your new home.

We see every project as an opportunity. Whether it’s improving our reputation as a builder or accommodating a new request from a client, the KLD team is always up for the challenge.

KEN PIEKARSKI founded Kenneth Lawrence Development in 2001 and was joined by his son Joseph Piekarski in 2015. Since inception, KLD has completed more than twenty-five new homes and remodeling projects. Five of these homes have been speculative developments, the balance, and the vast majority, have been custom homes for clients who have retained KLD to either design and build their homes or to simply create the homes of their dreams that have been designed by others.

From the very beginning, KLD has focused on quality, details and prompt execution. While we certainly build to every taste, the focus of many of our projects has been the “new old house”, bringing the latest and best in innovation and building techniques and technology to classic and timeless designs. Our unique strength in the marketplace, and our advantage over our competitors, is the confluence of our design ability, our focus on details and quality, and our ability to execute projects efficiently and timely.

Realizing that the ultimate goal of our business is getting our clients into the homes that they envision for themselves, we are completely flexible as to how we get involved with projects. Putting our clients first, we are prepared to provide any level of service requested to ensure client satisfaction. We can design and build or we can simply build. As with every home we build, every client relationship is unique. We have no set mold for client relationships or services. The only consistent feature for every client relationship is complete transparency. Clients have the option to retain KLD as their builder or as the construction coordinator.

For general contracting and coordinating projects the client gets to see all contracts with subcontractors and will see all subcontractor invoices. As a client, you will pay your costs without mark-up and a separate pre-agreed fee to KLD for coordinating your project.

In 2006, we established KLD Millworks, a captive mill shop, that produces custom cabinetry. Having a captive mill shop enables KLD to control the design, quality and production schedules for clients. Clients may choose to have KLD Millworks produce cabinetry for their houses, or they may have their cabinetry built by an unrelated third party.

While KLD has completed projects in Chappaqua, Greenwich and Rye, the majority of KLD’s projects have been completed in Scarsdale.

Ken and Joe did not come to home-building through the traditional avenues of home construction. Prior to building homes, Ken learned the construction trade from the ground up, first as a master electrician and along the way guzzling up the various trades integral to fine home construction. Joe has worked for the Company since he could operate an excavator, learning the jobsite from the cab of his machine. He is currently pursuing his Bachelor’s degree in Engineering at Manhattan College.
