About

A husband-and-wife team, invested in your project.

Kino Consulting, Inc. is led by Andrea and Jake Aranki. Together they help clients turn ideas into well-planned, carefully managed projects, from early planning through completion.

Flexible support. Personal accountability.

Some clients need an advocate to guide planning and manage separate contractors. Others want a general contractor to take responsibility for the construction work. Kino supports either approach.

Our project management background helps us understand how design, budgets, scheduling, and field execution affect one another. Our trusted contractor relationships connect clients with the right people, and our personal involvement means direct communication and clear accountability.

We also know a successful project has to do more than look good when construction ends. It should function well, suit the client's needs, and provide lasting value.

Jake Aranki

Executive Vice President

Jake combines a background in construction project management and facilities leadership with a personal commitment to helping clients build with confidence.

His experience includes serving as a Project Manager with ICI, leading Buildings & Grounds for Addison School District 4, and overseeing Buildings & Grounds operations at Leyden High School District 212. That work spans capital improvements, renovations, building systems, maintenance operations, safety, and contractor coordination, giving him a practical understanding of both how projects are built and how spaces need to function long after construction is complete.

At Kino, Jake brings a hands-on approach built around clear communication, accountability, and client advocacy. He helps clients define their goals, evaluate options, coordinate trusted professionals, and make informed decisions about scope, budget, and quality. Whether serving as a consultant, construction manager, or general contractor, he stays focused on the client's vision and the details needed to bring it to life.

Outside of work, Jake is a husband, father of four, and youth baseball coach. He brings the same commitment to teamwork, dependable leadership, and follow-through to his business that he values in his family and community.
