A Legacy of Integrity

Before founding the family-owned and operated business in 1968, John A. Schenkel learned some valuable lessons from his father and grandfather. In the construction business, they told him, sound practices are essential to building sound structures – and long-term relationships. John passed that philosophy down to his sons John Jr. and Matt, now the company’s principles. Combining old-fashioned integrity, hard work, and dedication with state-of-the-art technology, Shawnee is the full-service construction firm clients trust to provide the highest levels of quality, value, and service. Whether a project is large or small, clients know they can count on Shawnee from before the first spade of soil is turned until ribbon-cutting time – and beyond.
