Collaborative Solutions for Complex Infrastructure
Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) bring together public agencies and private organizations to deliver infrastructure through shared expertise, resources, and long-term collaboration. KE&G supports project teams with the construction experience and integrated capabilities needed to successfully deliver complex P3 projects.
Public-Private Partnership (P3)
What Is a Public-Private Partnership?
A Public-Private Partnership (P3) is a collaborative project delivery model in which public agencies and private organizations work together to finance, develop, construct, operate, or maintain infrastructure. By combining public oversight with private-sector expertise and innovation, P3s can accelerate project delivery, optimize lifecycle costs, and expand funding opportunities.
KE&G partners with owners, developers, designers, and concessionaires to deliver the construction expertise needed to successfully execute P3 projects while maintaining accountability, quality, and long-term value.
Why Choose P3?
Delivering More Through Collaboration
Shared Expertise
P3 projects unite public agencies, private developers, designers, and contractors to deliver comprehensive infrastructure solutions.
Accelerated Delivery
Integrated collaboration and streamlined decision-making help reduce project timelines and bring critical infrastructure online sooner.
Lifecycle Value
P3 delivery encourages long-term thinking by balancing construction quality, operational performance, and maintenance considerations from the beginning.
Flexible Funding Opportunities
By leveraging public and private investment, P3s can help deliver projects that may otherwise be delayed due to funding limitations.
Innovation
Early collaboration encourages creative design, construction, and operational solutions that improve project performance.
Risk Allocation
Clearly defined responsibilities allow project risks to be assigned to the parties best equipped to manage them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Public-Private Partnership (P3)?
A Public-Private Partnership is a collaborative delivery model where public agencies and private organizations share responsibilities for financing, developing, constructing, operating, or maintaining infrastructure projects.
What types of projects use P3 delivery?
P3s are commonly used for transportation infrastructure, water and wastewater systems, public facilities, airports, education campuses, energy projects, and other large public infrastructure investments.
Is KE&G a developer or concessionaire?
No. KE&G serves as the construction partner, providing the expertise, self-perform capabilities, and project leadership needed to successfully deliver P3 projects alongside owners, developers, and other stakeholders.
How does a P3 differ from Design-Build?
Design-Build combines design and construction under one contract. A P3 is a broader partnership model that may also include financing, long-term operations, maintenance, and lifecycle responsibilities in addition to project delivery.

Yes. KE&G self-performs many key construction scopes, improving coordination, quality, schedule control, and overall project performance.

While they are most commonly associated with major infrastructure investments, P3s can also be effective for facilities and community projects where collaboration and alternative funding provide additional value.
Does KE&G provide preconstruction services for P3 pursuits?
Yes. Our team supports project teams with estimating, scheduling, constructability reviews, logistics planning, and value engineering during early project development.
Can KE&G partner with national developers and engineering firms?
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with owners, engineers, architects, developers, and trade partners to deliver successful infrastructure projects throughout the Southwest.
