K4 Construction, LLC

What K4 Construction, LLC does

K4 Construction, LLC is a privately-held general contractor and construction manager headquartered in Waco, Texas, founded in 2011 by Keith Helpert and Mark Perry. Helpert took sole ownership in 2021 after a decade of partnership and serves as President, bringing more than 25 years of project management expertise. The firm operates with a deliberately lean team of approximately 10 employees, including project superintendents averaging 20+ years of commercial construction experience, and serves clients across the Central Texas region.

The company delivers projects through four core service lines: General Contracting (hard-bid), Design-Build, Construction Manager at Risk, and Construction Manager as Agent, supplemented by pre-construction services and in-house architectural design. Project sizes range from $100,000 interior remodels to $20 million ground-up developments, spanning municipal, educational, religious, industrial, healthcare, and retail/hospitality verticals. The firm differentiates itself by maintaining architects on staff to support integrated design/build delivery, a capability the company claims is unique among Central Texas commercial contractors. K4 has completed more than $200 million in construction since inception, with a customer base that includes Baylor University, L3 Communications, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Magnolia, Laerdal Medical, and multiple municipalities and religious institutions.

K4 generates revenue through project-based construction contracts, with multi-year durations on larger engagements. The go-to-market is direct enterprise and institutional field sales, leveraging hard-bid competitive processes, construction management contracts, and repeat/referral business within Central Texas. Marketing channels are limited to organic Facebook and Instagram presence emphasizing portfolio and community engagement. The company earned the 2024 Golden Trowel Award and 2024 Peoples Choice Award for the Westphalia Church of the Visitation design-build project, and has shown recent momentum in healthcare and industrial construction via the Laerdal Medical warehouse and Bealka Eye Center builds.
