Pyramid Electrical Contractors

What Pyramid Electrical Contractors does

Pyramid Electrical Contractors, Inc. is a privately held, full-service electrical contractor founded in 1982 and headquartered at 300 Monticello Place in Fairview Heights, Illinois. The firm serves the greater St. Louis Metro-East region across both Illinois and Missouri, delivering electrical systems for residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and municipal clients via a workforce of more than 80 IBEW Local 309 union electricians supported by five estimators/project managers and a small office staff. The portfolio spans eight service lines: commercial/industrial/municipal construction and design-build, residential wiring and service, solar array installation, EV charging station deployment (Levels 1-3), healthcare facility electrical work, water and wastewater treatment plant systems (SCADA, motor controls, switchgear, generators), telecommunications structured cabling (delivered with certified integrator partners), and 24-hour service and maintenance with sub-60-minute emergency dispatch from two owned bucket trucks.

The business operates on project-based, bid-driven revenue. Pricing is quote-based across most engagements, with residential work on unit/per-job pricing and commercial/industrial/maintenance work structured as one-time project bids plus multi-year maintenance contracts. Pyramid has no disclosed parent company, no external institutional capital, and three owner-partners (Bob Snell, Mike Kemper, and Scott Korte) who have held partnership since 2003; leadership transitioned in 2021 when Snell became President and Kemper became Executive Vice President. Notable contract deliveries include the TRANSCOM facility at Scott AFB ($23M+, Silver LEED), DISA Global Operations Command ($14.5M), Metro East Forensics Lab ($4.3M), SIUE Science Complex (138,559 sq ft), MetroLink light rail expansion ($1.8M), and ongoing healthcare work for St. Francis and Belleville Memorial Hospitals. Customers are acquired through direct phone, email, and online form contact — supported by a project portfolio, Google reviews, and trade-press features — and the firm sustains itself on reputation, LEED/NABCEP credentials, and 13 consecutive years of SIBA safety awards.
