KBS CONSTRUCTORS RECEIVES AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE

Topeka, KS (September 1, 2009)— KBS Constructors, Inc., one of the Midwest’s leading
commercial construction companies, is proud to have received the Johanna Lyle
Excellence in Service Award for their contributions to Meadowlark Hills Retirement
Community.

The award is given annually to recognize individuals or groups that have contributed
volunteer leadership, resources, time, and tasks to the Meadowlark Hills mission to serve
elders.

Meadowlark Hills CEO, Steve Shields, presented KBS with the award at the Manhattan
Retirement Foundation Board of Trustees Banquet and Awards Ceremony, held July 14.
KBS has served as a contractor on several projects for Meadowlark Hills, a retirement
community located in Manhattan, KS that is dedicated to building healthcare households
that feel like a home not a hospital.

“I believe that much of the project’s success is owed to KBS’s early involvement,” said
Shields. “Having the designer and builder together from the get-go, with a clear purpose
and mission, has really paid off for the residents of Meadowlark Hills. I commend them
for their part in the success of this project.”
Dan Foltz, Matt Charvat, and Jason Phillips were on hand to accept the award on behalf
of KBS.

“Meadowlark Hills has been wonderful to work with,” said Foltz, the President of KBS.
“And this recognition adds to the pride we already feel for having helped them move
their mission forward.”
