For our next career spotlight, meet Ben Meyer, one of our project superintendents at Derrick Building Solutions!

Ben keeps the job site safe, organized, and on schedule while working with project managers and subcontractors to keep construction moving forward. For him, the rewards go beyond the building itself.

“The most rewarding part is building structures and relationships you can be proud of. If you treat people like family, they’ll treat you like family.”

Get to know Ben, his path into construction, and the superpower he wishes he could bring to every job site in our latest Q&A:

One of things that makes Derrick Companies special is how many people have spent years, and even decades, on our team.

Congratulations to everyone celebrating a work anniversary! Thank you for the hard work, experience, and dedication you bring to our team and each project.

A special shoutout to commercial team members Kevin, celebrating 25 years, and Chad, celebrating 20 years 👏🏽

And lastly, we can't forget a round of applause for Kirk and Corey (from our residential team) for shooting 47 on the course 🎯

🎉 Celebrating Our Team! 🎉
At this year’s Derrick Companies Annual Clay Shoot, we had the opportunity to recognize some incredible team members for their years of service!

From 5 to 25 years, these individuals have played an important role in making Derrick Companies what it is today. We are so grateful for their hard work, dedication, and commitment throughout the years.

Please join us in congratulating our service award recipients!

A project worth celebrating. A team worth thanking. And another location in the making 👏🏽

Thank you to Associated Builders and Contractors of Wisconsin for highlighting St Croix Automotive, one of our Project of Distinction from last year.

We couldn't have done it without the many people behind the project. A special shoutout to the fellow ABC members involved: HAGER CITY GLASS CO., Steiner Plumbing, Electric, Heating inc., and Studio EA!

We're grateful to St Croix Automotive for trusting us with a second location, now under construction in Hudson! We look forward to sharing more as it progresses.

Nearly This Day in History I September 27, 1973

This collage brings together several pieces of local history from the September 27, 1973 edition of the New Richmond News.

A full-page Derrick Construction ad featured Bill Derrick Sr. overlooking homes built in New Richmond's Southview Addition. Other projects shown included St. Luke's Lutheran Church, the New Richmond Golf Clubhouse, and Pepperjack Creek Apartments.

The front page of the same issue revisited another memorable moment originally reported in the March 15 edition: the New Richmond Tigers' 46-44 overtime victory over Superior in sectional play, earning the Tigers first trip to the state tournament in 46 years!

Thank you to our friends at Indianhead Glass for gifting us this incredible glimpse into the past. Almost 53 years later, much has changed, but our commitment has not. We continue to build with you and the community in mind.

September 11, 2001 showed us that even in our darkest moments, we are defined by how we come together, support one another, and rebuild. Today, 25 years later, we are reminded how quickly life can change and why we should never take a single day, or person, for granted.

Earlier this week, 2,977 drones illuminated the New York Harbor, recreating the Twin Towers at full scale. Created in collaboration with artists, producers, and members of the 9/11 community, each light represented a life lost in the attacks. "2,9777 Lights Over New York Harbor" is a powerful tribute to those we lost and the heroes we will never forget.
