Buildings may be what we build, but people are what make the work possible.

Labor Day allows us to recognize the employees, tradespeople, and partners who contribute their time, skill, and craftsmanship to each project. We’re grateful for the work they put in and the communities that work helps shape.

Wishing everyone a safe and restful Labor Day!

People often ask what a general contractor actually does on a project. The short answer is a lot.

The longer answer involves:

✔️ Managing every subcontractor on the job
✔️ Keeping the schedule honest
✔️ Reviewing plans before problems show up in the field
✔️ Controlling costs
✔️ Delivering a finished product that meets the promised standard

Brechbill & Helman also brings skilled in-house crews to the table alongside an extensive subcontractor network built over six decades of working in this region.

The Sri Baktha Anjaneya Hindu Temple in Ijamsville, MD, is a 7,242-square-foot building on 42 acres that required a level of craftsmanship and cultural sensitivity you don't find on every job site.

The project features Spanish cedar grand entry doors, granite floors, five cast-in-place shrines, acoustic wall panels in the prayer hall, decorative columns, and radiant heat on every floor. It earned a 2016 ABC Cumberland Valley Excellence in Construction Award, and we are proud to have been trusted with it.

There's a version of budget reduction that saves money on paper and costs more over time—and then there's value engineering.

The difference comes down to how substitutions and alternates get evaluated, who is involved in those conversations, and when they happen in the project timeline.

Get it right, and you protect performance, longevity, and the owner's investment.

We put together a thorough breakdown of what value engineering really means in commercial construction and how owners can use it to their advantage.

Construction management is a lot of things at once—coordinating subcontractors, reviewing bid packages, analyzing constructibility, managing costs, and keeping the schedule honest throughout the entire project.

Owners hire a CM team so they don't have to carry all of that themselves, and the value is shown in how few surprises make it to their desk.

Brechbill & Helman has been doing this long enough to know where projects tend to go sideways and how to keep them from getting there.

Some projects ask you to adapt as you go.

Chambersburg Retail Square Phase II was one of them. Construction began before the drawings were complete, work continued through a harsh winter, and the project was delivered in just seven months.

We appreciate every opportunity that comes our way to help create spaces where businesses can grow, and communities continue to develop.

Sixty years of commercial construction across nine different project types means we have seen a lot and built even more.

Every sector on that list has its own set of requirements, challenges, and standards for what a finished project should deliver.

Knowing those differences and showing up prepared for each one is something that only comes with time.

The Home2 Suites in York, PA, sits right off Interstate 83 and was designed to feel less like a hotel stay and more like a home away from home.

The hotel has everything a guest could ask for, including one-bedroom and studio layouts, a heated indoor pool, an outdoor fire pit patio, a fitness room, and a complimentary breakfast to round it all out.

We built this one alongside Newcomer Associates and are proud of how it came together.
