One question owners often ask when evaluating contractors is: "Do you self-perform your work?" Here's a better question...

"Where does self-perform actually make a difference on my project?" The answer depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

We had a great morning welcoming the Riverbend CEO students to Helmkamp!

We talked about a lot more than construction—the importance of knowing your strengths and weaknesses, making tough decisions, building a strong culture, giving back to your community, client relationships, and how technology has a growing impact on the way we work.

Most importantly, we got to spend time with an impressive group of young leaders who asked great questions and are already thinking like entrepreneurs.

Thanks for spending the morning with us, Riverbend CEO. We’re excited to see what you build!

Two SIUE alumni were back on campus last night... this time representing Helmkamp Construction at SIUE Construction Networking Night! 🏗️

Our team enjoyed meeting Construction Management students and talking about opportunities to build their careers with Helmkamp, including hands-on Project Management internships that work around school schedules and our SIUE Scholarship Program, which awards two $2,500 scholarships annually to SIUE Construction Management students.

It’s always a good night when our Cougars get to connect with the next generation of construction professionals. Go Cougars! 🐾

Proud to support OSF Saint Anthony’s Annual Golf Tournament and the important work of the OSF Moeller Cancer Center. ⛳

It’s an honor to be part of this event each year, supporting quality cancer care close to home in the same community where we live, work, and build relationships.

Thank you to OSF for another great event and for all you do for our community!

Please join us in welcoming Prestan Schanbacher to Helmkamp!

Prestan joins our team as a Project Management Intern while pursuing his Construction Management degree at SIUE. He was drawn to Helmkamp by our history and professionalism and is looking forward to making new connections and gaining hands-on experience along the way.

When he’s not learning the ropes at Helmkamp, you’ll likely find him golfing, lifting, or listening to country music.

Welcome to the team, Prestan! We’re glad to have you building relationships with us.
