History
Kal-Con, Inc, established by George Kalogerson in 1978, has evolved through
generations of construction expertise. Originally specializing in residential projects, Kal- Con later shifted its focus to crafting precision airplane hangars. Inspired by his father’s legacy, David Kalogerson ventured into the construction realm, founding Kalcon, LLC in 2013. Witnessing Kalcon’s exponential growth, David’s zeal for innovation led the company to excel in high-end hospitality projects. With steadfast support from his trusted confidant, Justin Youngbluth, Kalcon emerged as a leader in Twin Cities’ hospitality construction landscape. Despite unforeseen challenges, including a 2024 divorce, David and Justin remained undeterred, joining forces once again to establish K2 Construction LLC. Committed to upholding the Kalogerson family’s construction legacy, K2 Construction embodies a new chapter of excellence and dedication to unparalleled craftsmanship.

Testimonial Slider
We knew that the task at hand was monumental. We knew that every hand on deck was critical. You jumped right in and proved that our confidence was well placed. You and your team definitely succeeded in providing a fantastic new Club House, Bar, and Restaurant that we are definitely proud of. Your ability to calmly navigate the myriad code requirements, to deftly "nudge" the subcontractors along, to assist us with value added propositions all added to our total satisfaction with our professional construction management services.
Randy TravaliaOwner of Minnesota Horse and Hunt Club, Prior Lake, MN
We are very pleased we engaged David and Justin to manage the construction of our new brewery. We quickly came to understand that they are uniquely different in the general contracting world. Our project required several “design/build” elements and their “open book” bidding enabled us to partner with them to make the right choices on subcontractors. While cost is always a dominating driver in the any decision, we also realize reliability is equally important. While they were very accommodating of subcontractors we preferred, they also leveraged their network of subcontractors who were equally reliable and cost effective. Every construction project, regardless of size, inherently faces issues that require focused and collaborative problem solving. This is precisely where David and Justin shine. They were completely engaged in working through multiple complexities within our project. I always felt I had an experienced partner navigating and resolving any issues that arose. With over $2 Billion in new construction projects popping up around the Vikings stadium, the sheer size of construction activity led to higher than expected bids. Instead of throwing up their hands and saying “this is what it costs now in today’s environment”; they rolled up their sleeves, and leveraged their strong relationships with subcontractors to help us redesign our project to meet the new cost realities while keeping true to our original design. In multiple ways, their suggestions were incorporated in a plan that was better than the original.
Jim MooreOwner of Utepils Brewing Co., Minneapolis, MN
Working with David and Justin to build my dream brew pub was a very enjoyable experience. From the day we met, until we were open for business I knew I could trust and count on them to get the job done. They had many good sub-contractors that they dealt with on a regular basis and knew how to get them to prioritize our project. We had a complete overhaul of a large existing building, and they got it done in just 4 months. Justin was especially good at his job coordinating the myriad of different subcontractors, and when he couldn't find a sub to do it in the right time frame and for the right price, he went ahead and did it himself. Bottom line is: they did a great job and they did it on a short timeline. They hit the expected completion date, were within budget, and the place looks amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to rehab or build new."

"David's knowledge and expertise was valuable in restoring our industrial era building from the 1800's into a modern day food hall. He was able to professionally navigate bringing new kitchens into the old building and giving it a unique character. We enjoyed working with his team!”
Patricia WallOwner of The Market at Malcolm Yards, Minneapolis, MN
David played a pivotal role in the Keg and Case project as a whole. During the pre-development phase, he worked closely with both me and the team, helped identify prospective occupants, and lent his expertise in all construction related matters. David navigated the historic process, complete remediation, and compliance with both city building codes and vendor outreach, as well as compliance with our union project labor agreement. This was no small task, and Keg and Case is itself the best testimonial to the efficacy of his efforts. Thank you David and Justin for all you did to help realize our vision."
