Our story

From service to service

Two gold keys on construction drawings — the Keyz 2 promise, turnkey
The name is the promise

Keyz 2 Construction LLC is an SDVOSB. It was founded in April 29, 2026 by William H. Keys, a U.S. Army First Sergeant whose career spanned operations, construction planning, and leadership from 1989 through 2018. He brought the standards of military service — preparation, accountability, and finishing the mission — to the building trades.

Will's construction roots go back to high school carpentry and a YouthBuild apprenticeship, then to building living facilities and housing in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan. He later supported estimating, construction documents, planning, and scheduling at IDI Construction, LLC (2023–2026) before standing up Keyz 2.

Before returning full-time to construction, Will spent more than two decades at Trustmark Insurance Company, working with managers and clients to reduce and recover more than $16 million in debt and reporting regularly to finance leadership. That combination — job-site craft plus financial discipline — is how Keyz 2 runs a project.

The name says it: we hand you the keys to a finished, quality build — turnkey, every time. Headquartered in Zion, IL, we take commercial, institutional, and public-sector work nationwide.
