K2’ s journey began in 2003 when passionate entrepreneurs, Dean and Marna Kredit, founded the business following their impressive backgrounds in electrical contracting. When it was first established, K2 had just three employees but quickly grew over the course of the next five years, taking on larger and larger projects within the commercial and tenant improvement markets. As the years progressed, the company started working on million-dollar projects, but was forced to downsize in 2010 due to the impacts of the global financial crisis. Armed with tenacity and ambition, however, K2 prevailed, moving into light industrial and solar work in the latter part of the year – a strategic move that reignited its growth trajectory. The company then continued to grow, expanding further into solar and then into K-12 public education, facility services, data centers, and beyond. Revenue boomed, contracts multiplied, and the rest is history.
Today, Jared Kredit, is leading K2 at the helm as President and CEO. The company now has over 200 employees across its three office locations in Tucson and Phoenix, boasting an annual revenue of nearly $ 70 million.
Building on the family legacy, Jared is leading K2 into its next chapter, spearheading its implementation of lean methodology processes found in manufacturing industries, which have been ongoing since 2023. In July 2025, Construction Today is joined by Jared, who shares insights into the company’ s development, as well as how its core values translate into its project delivery and daily operations. He begins by providing an overview of K2’ s lean methodology focus.
“ The biggest investment we have made recently is in our lean journey,” Jared reveals.“ Standardizing and documenting our processes, creating internal training and continuously assessing how we operate to reduce waste and increase efficiency, will all continue to be the key to our success going forward.
