💙September is 💜

In the construction industry, the su***de rate is 4.5x higher than the national average - over 56 lives lost for every 100,000 workers.

Caring about people means caring about mental health. At Baker Group, we’re committed to breaking the stigma through QPR training, free counseling for employees and families, and a culture that puts people first.

Together, we can build a safer, healthier industry.

💡The best time to replace aging building systems is before they become a problem.

Through our long-standing partnership with Wellmark, Baker Group helped proactively modernize the Building Management System at its headquarters before obsolete equipment could impact operations. The result? Improved performance, reduced risk, and a smoother path for future upgrades, all while minimizing disruption to the facility.

That's the power of preventive maintenance: planning ahead, avoiding costly downtime, and helping facilities operate with confidence.

Expect Reliability. Expect the Best.

Wellness looks different for everyone.

For some, it's staying active. 🏃‍♂️‍➡️
For others, it's feeling supported. 🫂
For many, it's building confidence in their financial future. ⏩💰

We believe employee well-being is built through opportunities to grow, meaningful work, strong relationships, and a culture where people come first.

Behind every finished project, is a team invested in every detail.🤝🔍

Coordination among stakeholders was key at Community State Bank’s new 76,500-square-foot headquarters in Ankeny. As the Design-Build MEP partner and engineer of record, Baker Group brought together design, BIM coordination, prefabrication, and building automation solutions to help deliver a modern, collaborative workplace for a local client.
