Wenaha Group

Wenaha Group is a Native American-owned construction project management and consulting firm owned by Rob Quaempts. Founded in 2010, Wenaha Group is a diverse and experienced team of construction professionals who provide program, construction, and project management for clients of all sizes and types. Led by our 13 Guiding Principles we serve clients and their communities across the U.S. Wenaha Group is named after the Wenaha Wilderness which is located in the southeast region of Washington and Oregon state. This sacred place provided for and sustained the ancestors of Wenaha Group’s President, Rob Quaempts since time immemorial. Like the wilderness, Wenaha Group’s mission is to serve and provide sustainable infrastructure and services to communities for generations to come. Currently, the company employs over 30 full-time staff across 4 locations, including our headquarters in Federal Way, WA, and offices in Kennewick, WA, Portland, OR, and Pendleton, OR. Outside of these regions, we also service clients in Louisiana, Minnesota, and North Dakota. Our guiding principles are inspired by the 13 structural support poles of a Columbia River basin-style tipi. We infuse these principles into the foundation of every project. They are an integral part of our team’s ethical ecosystem, both personally and professionally. The value of community The potential of respect The dignity of simplicity The strength of diversity The wisdom of economy The influence of humility The importance of balance The joy of creating The power of collaboration The success of perseverance The satisfaction of hard work The worth of strong character The importance of transparency
