Joe Duvall of Kitchell Welcomed as 2015 ABA President!

The ABA welcomed Joe Duval as the 2015 ABA President.  Joe Duvall, Project Executive of Kitchell Construction, has been in the commercial building industry since 1985.

Joe Duvall joined Kitchell right out of college 30 years ago. Since his early days as an estimator and project engineer, he has played a key role on many of Kitchell’s flagship projects including Howard Hughes Parkway Office, Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center, Flagstaff Medical Center, Motorola, Peccole Nevada Association, and Mountainview Hospital, plus scores of others representing hundreds of millions of dollars of work. From the very beginning, he has embodied the firm’s purpose and values of honesty and integrity, quality of work, and customer satisfaction. These qualities have made him the consummate internal operations auditor for the company as he travels from jobsite to jobsite sharing his know-how and providing counsel. Born and raised in Texas, Joe’s construction journey has taken him all over the country, from Arizona to Nevada (where he spent 15 years, seven of which running Kitchell’s Nevada office) to California to Colorado to Kansas to Tennessee and, full circle back to his roots, to Texas.

Today, as Project Executive, he continues to beat the drum as an advocate for Kitchell’s clients and for corporate fiscal responsibility.

Joe was installed as the ABA’s President at a February 2015 installation dinner held in Phoenix.  He is a 2002 Graduate of the Arizona Builders Alliance’s Leadership Development Forum (LDF) and has sat on the Board of Directors for over 4-years.  The ABA is thrilled to have him as our leader!
