3THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA | MADISON LIFESTYLE DISTRICT - PHASE I PARKING GARAGE <br />1. FIRM BACKGROUND, TEAM & EXPERIENCE <br />HISTORY <br />F.A. Wilhelm Construction was founded in 1923 and expanded into a general contracting role by 1937. The <br />company grew further in 1940 and broke into the healthcare, higher education, and commercial markets by <br />1941. Achieving $100 million in revenue by 1950, we continued our Midwest expansion throughout the 1950s. <br />Significant projects in the 1960s included various Indiana high school builds and the Indiana War Memorial steps <br />in 1964. We also constructed IU Assembly Hall in 1972 and named Tippy Wilhelm as president in 1974. <br />In 1983, we performed concrete work on the Hoosier Dome and expanded into new markets throughout the mid-80s. <br />Our affiliate companies were also established during this time. The 1990s saw numerous contributions to Indianapolis <br />landmark projects, and by 1991, we had reached $500 million in revenue. Phil Kenney was appointed president in 2001, <br />and the company completed its first design-build project in 2007. During the 2010s, the company expanded further into <br />the Midwest, achieving $1 billion in revenue by 2021. We expanded into North Carolina in 2022 and celebrated our 100th <br />anniversary in 2023. <br />OUR MISSION <br />People are the foundation for F.A.
