Situation

Katerra is a new class of Silicon Valley companies which is a construction company but it’s actually a technology company. It has taken a different approach, “A technology company at heart, we’re applying tested systems approaches from other industries to design and construction”, spells out Katerra’s vision.

Katerra is following a backward vertical integration strategy of integrating technology, design, procurement, manufacturing, and construction under single management removing middlemen and speeding the construction process. It is creating a global supply chain by acquiring companies and building its own factories and facilities. All of this means fast growing employee base through the integration of acquired companies and challenges of onboarding new hires and merged employees.

Struggles and Pains

Katerra has been a fast-growing company since its founding in 2015. It had 650 employees in 2017, distributed across US and international locations. Katerra is continuing to acquire companies in its space and creating facilities and factories following its strategy of consolidating supply chain for construction industry.

For the IT operations, it means an increased workload of onboarding new employees, creating organizational structures, and providing and controlling role-based access (RBAC) through security groups. Katerra also wanted to create a welcoming environment for newly acquired employees through smooth onboarding, access setup, and a welcoming communication process.
