Services

At Brechbill & Helman Construction Company, we offer many services to meet each client’s specific needs.  View a list of our services below.

 

Construction Management

The Construction Management process enables Brechbill & Helman to add value for the owner during the design phase. Working closely with the architect and engineers, our experienced team is able to advise on project scheduling, expected construction cost, value engineering, constructability analysis and subcontractor bid package development.

Brechbill & Helman offers Construction Management “At-Risk” and Construction Management “For-Fee.”

Each project is unique and both CM contracts have many benefits and few disadvantages. It is Brechbill & Helman’s responsibility to educate the client on the nuances of each contract and help match the correct contracting approach to their specific project.

Regardless of the format chosen, Brechbill & Helman’s approach to the project does not change. Our goal is to create a positive team environment and focus on mutual success for all team members to develop long term relationships.
