How Family and Core Values Shape HKC Construction’s Foundation
At HKC Construction, family isn’t just a word—it’s the cornerstone of who we are. In a heartfelt glimpse into our daily lives, co-founder Helen shares a morning routine that mirrors the values driving our company: strong foundations, care, and a commitment to the future.
Family First, On and Off the Job Site
The day begins with Helen dropping her two oldest children off at school, a simple yet profound reminder of why family matters. “Just like family, we build on strong foundations,” she says. This philosophy extends beyond her home to every project HKC undertakes. Whether nurturing her children or leading a team, Helen emphasizes creating environments rooted in safety, trust, and support—values that define both her parenting and HKC’s workplace culture.
Core Values in Action
At HKC, our core values are more than words on a wall—they’re the blueprint for everything we do:
Care: We treat our team and clients like family, ensuring everyone feels valued and heard.
Integrity: We prioritize honesty and transparency, building trust in every interaction.
Future-Focused: Every project we undertake is designed to create lasting impact, from modernizing schools to constructing sustainable spaces for generations to come.
“Our values guide us through every step of the way,” Helen explains. “They’re not just ideals; they’re actions that shape how we collaborate, innovate, and grow.”
Building for Tomorrow, Together
HKC’s mission isn’t just about constructing buildings—it’s about building futures. From Helen’s children to every employee and client, we’re committed to creating opportunities that empower people and communities. “We’re building for the future, not just for our kids, but for everyone who works with us and every project we take on,” she says.
A Team That Feels Like Family
The HKC team is an extension of our founders’ family, united by shared goals and mutual respect. “The hardest part of the day might be getting everyone out the door,” Helen laughs, “but once we’re here, the real work—and the real joy—begins.” This camaraderie fuels our passion for excellence, turning challenges into opportunities and visions into reality.
