Flywheel Building Solutions

Flywheel Building Solutions was created by Ken Kunka to address the problems he has seen as a builder, designer and inspector over the last 17 years.

"Unfortunately, I have seen too many projects lose momentum due to a lack of planning, capital and or construction knowledge. I love to learn and teach and would like to impart my years of design, build and inspection experience to the most important person in the process"

- Ken Kunka  AScT, BCQ

Why Flywheel

People often ask why Flywheel as a business name when it has nothing to do with machinery. Well when I think about the years spent within the construction industry as a designer, construction worker and municipal inspector I have come to see the industry as one huge cumbersome machine. The one major factor in the demise of most building projects is lack of momentum. When you look at a building project there are tens if not hundreds of different components spinning or grinding at different speeds lunging and creeking it's way towards the end goal. When I read this line in Jim Collins "Good to Great" book on how compaines make the jump from being good to great, I knew that was the key.

Flywheels are used to create and maintain momentum. Lack of forward thinking and momentum is the killer in most building projects. That is why you need a Flywheel to keep things going.
