Meet The Team

At Kingdom Builder Group, our journey in affordable housing is a family legacy, spearheaded by Co-Founder Patrick Smythe and passionately carried forward by his sons, Co-Founders Kyle and Robert Smythe. Patrick’s pioneering work in affordable housing began in the mid-90s in Chicago, where he introduced modular construction to Cook County with developments like Pepper Path Homes. His vision later led to the creation of Ark Building Systems, a facility dedicated to manufacturing essential building components and providing turnkey solutions for affordable homes.

Today, the Kingdom Builder Group team combines decades of experience, a shared passion for innovation in affordable housing, and a commitment to serving veterans and underserved communities. With collective expertise in modular housing and community developments, the team is focused on advancing high-quality, efficient, and affordable housing solutions throughout Arizona and beyond—marking a new chapter in our mission to build homes that truly make a difference.
