24/7 Service OUR SERVICES PROJECT EXPLORER SAFETY CAREERS ABOUT US NEWS & BLOG GET IN TOUCH History Helm traces its history back to the wild, wooly 1880s when AC Johnston sold coal, lumber and cars. Our current company was founded as Freeport Blacktop Construction Company in 1946. Eventually, FBT became Civil Constructors. The rest is a story of decades of strategic diversification and growth, continuous improvement and innovation. Our tight-knit culture is the same as it ever was, but everything else has evolved and grown. Helm is now a sophisticated, fully integrated company with a broad range of top-shelf construction capabilities and geographic locations. In 2019, we came to realize our brand identity, the familiar old “Evil Oval” carrying the simple, categorical names Mechanical, Civil, Conmat and Heavy, was in need of a strategic and creative update to reflect our unity and strength. Our new icon is an evolution of our old oval – contained in a shape that frequently occurs in natural and manmade engineering: the hexagon. The hexagon is the strongest shape known to mankind. It appears in everything from ice crystals to beehives; from Irelands’ Giant’s Causeway to dragonfly eyes; from geodesic domes to nuts and bolts. The lines that form Helm’s hexagonal new logo suggest the dynamic, multi-layered company we have become – and the employees who team up to bring value to our customers’ projects. 800-747-1955 maindesk@helmgroup.com Careers Employee Access

24/7 Service OUR SERVICES PROJECT EXPLORER SAFETY CAREERS ABOUT US NEWS & BLOG GET IN TOUCH Our Approach Our Approach is All About Exceeding Customer Expectations The first step in every new opportunity is to really listen to what the customer wants. Ideally, we will meet with the customer to understand the end project and talk through each step in our process. On plan and spec projects where there isn’t an opportunity to meet, we study the plans and specifications so that we are pricing exactly what is needed. Once we understand what is needed, we look for opportunities to optimize the design and reduce the cost. Our in-house engineering staff draws on past experience to add value to the project plan. We budget the project pulling together information from similar projects and planning the current project. Scheduling goes hand-in-hand with budgeting and we deliver the schedule with the price. Much of the planning is done pre-award so that we can be ready to mobilize as soon as we are given the green light. Refining the plan doesn’t stop at the beginning of the project, however, and continues throughout the project. As we plan for production, we are also planning for safety and quality. The three go together or the project won’t be successful. We are finishing the work as we go with the intent that there is no punch list or call backs. Commissioning, testing, and cleanup all are performed throughout the project so that we are optimizing the schedule time. On many projects, the construction rolls into facility management proving that our true approach is to be your partner for the life of your project. 800-747-1955 maindesk@helmgroup.com Careers Employee Access
