Backlog of funded projects reached a record $139.1 million at quarter’s end.

Chairman of the Board Floyd Warkol commented, “KSW’s revenues rose this quarter as work began on previously delayed jobs. We have added $70 million in new contracts since January 1, 2008, and demand for our expertise remains strong. KSW continues to look for new projects, but our strategy calls for us to be selective in the jobs we bid. We look for projects where our value engineering services can provide significant cost savings to our clients.”
