Changing An Industry
ArchKey is changing the way we think about construction and maintenance. Through The Power of Scale, we unite the best in the industry delivering electrical, technologies, and specialty solutions better, faster, and smarter than ever before.
The Birth of a New Era Built for Scale
Clay Scharff, CEO, and founder of ArchKey Solutions saw the market expanding—from growing market needs to expanding campus sizes and aging infrastructure. The demand for more complex, sustainable, and sophisticated electrical and technologies systems was increasing rapidly.
What wasn’t increasing as rapidly was the number of contractors with the financial and physical resources to successfully complete the builds on their own. In many cases, larger, more highly sophisticated projects required the partnership of two, even three, contractors. This meant introducing two companies, two labor forces, and two sets of processes into an already complex build process.
Clay saw an opportunity to start building an enterprise of problem solvers capable of tackling the industry’s challenges no matter the scale, geography, or complexity. In this vision, an enterprise that would forever change the industry was born. An enterprise now known as ArchKey Solutions.
Welcome to a new era of construction.
The Power of Scale
Our company is centered on The Power of Scale, which is the vision on which our entire organization is founded and our goals are built. The Power of Scale is about more than just a tagline, it is about ability. The ability to build not only the infrastructure of today, but also shape the future. It is about the ability to enact change and push new boundaries by having the scale and resources to invest in our people and processes. It is about the ability to set free the minds that will shape our tomorrow and see what possibilities lie ahead.
