"I would like to take this opportunity, now that this project is coming to a close, to thank you and the crew that Helmkamp provided to perform this very difficult task for WorldCom. As you well know, protecting the integrity of an operating telecommunications network is paramount in today's highly competitive telecommunications industry and no easy task. I am pleased to say that, Helmkamp met this difficult challenge successfully and in a professional manner. The skill and attitude displayed by Tony Cafazza and his crew are exceeded by none and is very rare in today's Construction industry and needed to be noted. Thank you for a job well done and I look forward to working with Helmkamp Construction again in the future."

Terry Metcalf, WorldCom Field Engineer - St. Louis, MO

"I just wanted to take the time to recognize the outstanding Job Greg Kohlberg and Tony Cafazza have done on the B2N project.
We have received numerous positive comments from everyone involved with this project and even from people/occupants in the construction areas of how great and cooperative Greg and his crews have been on this job. This projects a very professional and positive image for all of us, Corporate Services and Helmkamp, when our management gets feedback like that from our clients.
Both Tony and Greg have been a pleasure to work with; their approach to safety, customer service, and attention to schedule has been outstanding."

Thank You, Gary Wilken, Pharmacia

"The contractor is Helmkamp and the individual that runs their jobs here is Bill Bridwell. Bill is one of the most safety conscience individuals I have worked with and is a real asset to the site. They quickly installed several metal posts and strung 2 lines of yellow construction tape along the second tier of the parking lot to block the pathway along the hill. I was quite impressed that they responded so quickly and it looks nice. I am not even sure if they are responsible for this situation but they handled it efficiently. They responded like a Monsanto contractor should, showing good safety practices."

Terry Shofner, Monsanto Co.

"It is often noted when an approved contractor working on Monsanto’s campus fails to meet safety requirements, but rarely noted when a contractor does meet those requirements. I would like to formally commend an individual for exemplifying what I will call “Contractor Care Awareness”. He is Greg Kohlberg, General Foreman for Helmkamp Construction. As the General Foreman on the “A” Building ADA Ramp project, Greg Kohlberg not only meets Monsanto’s safety requirements, he continuously exceeds them. Through his initiative and foresight, he has remained one step ahead on safety by taking extra measures to prevent potential hazards."

Sincerely, John Martine, Jr., Project Manager, Monsanto Corporate Services

"The department shutdown went very well thanks to the expertise and dedication of the Helmkamp work force. John Brewer and Mike Terry were instrumental in getting the work completed. They were very helpful in the suggestions they brought forth and kept the shutdown progressing. The shutdown was long and very laborious, but John and Mike kept crews focused and working safely and efficiently. Helmkamp continues to work in a direction that is best for their customer and doing things correctly.
The quality and workmanship exhibited by all members of the crews was exceptional. I worked with both crews and was shown a good sense of teamwork and skill. Everyone kept moving along and working very smart. They endured the long hours and still, for the most part, kept their sense of humor. Please pass along my thanks as I surely appreciated the efforts and pride put forth. The shutdown would have been a complete failure without the dedication and work ethics of all the crewmembers.
Finally, I want to thank John Brewer for all his effort. John had vision in what to look out for and utilized his many years of experience to the advantage of the project team. John is a great asset and should not be taken for granted. John was constantly looking for ways to move the job forward and minimize the shutdown duration. The department started up without any issues and this can attribute to the leadership that John provided."

Thank You Very Much, Glenn D. Grgeskowiak, Astaris

"I just wanted to say “Thank You” for your performance while working at the Carondelet site. It is because of all the work that you put into safety that assures that the worker that comes onto our site is able to go home to their family. I know there are others that have contributed to this and as we move on from job to job the need will always be there for a safe working environment."

Again Thanks to All, Rich Miller, Contractor Guest Safety, Astaris

"It has been a pleasure working with Helmkamp throughout the years. I have always held Helmkamp in the highest regards. Partnering is a buzz word people tend to banter about, but we practiced that concept in its truest form before it was clique. Throughout the years we have established a level of trust that few owners/contractors enjoy. Friendship, trust and quality are the keys to our successful relationship.
I am a firm believer in Helmkamp’s integrity and have been able to demonstrate to others Helmkamp’s commitment to honest, safe, quality construction. That commitment has made my job much easier promoting Helmkamp’s attributes."

Thanks, Richard Nelson, Solutia, Inc.
