Proudly Built in Tampa

Our Story

Crafted by Experience. Driven by Purpose.

MK Construction was founded on the belief that every family and business in Tampa deserves a space that reflects their vision at its fullest, designed with intention, built with precision, and delivered with care that never cuts corners. Some companies build structures. We build stories. From thoughtfully crafted homes to elevated commercial spaces, every project is approached with the same commitment to quality, transparency, and lasting impact.

CEO & Director of Construction

Mason Smith

Mason brings a wealth of construction experience, having worked extensively in residential and commercial high rise projects. Growing up in Madison, Mississippi, he gained hands on experience assisting his parents in building homes for major developments.

He later earned a degree in Building Construction Science with a minor in Business from Mississippi State University. After graduating, Mason spent three years in Nashville, Tennessee, working in project management on large scale multifamily construction projects for a leading general contractor. During this time, he successfully managed a 21 story, 210 unit multifamily development with more than $40 million in construction scope before advancing to a 26 story, 265 unit project valued at over $45 million. These experiences provided a strong foundation in project management, quality control, budgeting, scheduling, and client focused execution, principles he continues to bring to every MK Construction project today.

With a strong foundation in large scale construction and leadership, Mason and Kylee took a bold step by founding their own construction company, turning their vision into reality.

Kylee Smith

Kylee brings a rare combination of creative vision and strategic expertise to MK Construction. A fifth generation Tampa native, she was born and raised in South Tampa and attended Plant High School before leaving Florida to pursue her degree at Mississippi State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a concentration in Public Relations.

Her career began in Nashville, Tennessee, where she worked in marketing for a respected construction company and affordable housing organization, developing a deep understanding of what home truly means to families.

She then transitioned into the world of large scale commercial construction, supporting projects across the Western United States, including Colorado, Texas, California, and Arizona, for a major mechanical, electrical, and plumbing subcontractor. This experience sharpened her eye for detail, strengthened her communication skills, and reinforced the importance of seamless project execution.

Today, Kylee leads MK Construction's marketing, branding, and client communications, helping tell the story behind each project and ensuring a seamless client experience from start to finish. Drawing on her creative background and attention to detail, she also provides design and selection guidance when needed, helping clients create spaces that are both beautiful and functional. She brings the same elevated standard to every MK Construction project, ensuring the experience is just as exceptional as the finished space.

Our Why

We didn’t choose Tampa because it made sense on paper. We chose it because it is home.

Tampa has been Kylee’s home for five generations, and with Mason and Kylee being together for over 10 years, it felt like the perfect place to build their life, start their family, and stay deeply rooted in the community they know and love.

When they decided to build MK Construction, they had a clear vision: to serve Tampa families and businesses who walk in with a dream and walk away with something that surpasses it. A company built on honesty, craftsmanship, and genuine relationships with every client served.

We understand, deeply, how much your space means. It is where your mornings begin and your evenings wind down. It is where family gathers, where memories are made, and where life unfolds in its most private and meaningful form. That understanding shapes every decision we make, from the first consultation to the final walkthrough.

At MK, the standard is simple. Every project is held to the same level of care, precision, and accountability, for every client, without exception.
