Erik J. Haslem
CEO | BHI
Erik Haslem transformed BHI from an electrical contractor into a diversified construction powerhouse. Under his leadership, BHI achieved 49 percent revenue growth from 2022-2023, projecting 66 percent in 2024 — far exceeding the industry’s 19.8 percent average.
The company has doubled its workforce to 977 employees and expanded to 13 offices nationwide through strategic acquisitions. These achievements earned BHI recognition on the Inc. 5000 list and the Utah Business Fast 50.
What are you most looking forward to accomplishing in 2025?
2025 is about scaling smarter, innovating faster and strengthening our people — all while reinforcing our foundation. Our theme, “Brick by Brick,” reflects our commitment to intentional, sustainable growth, ensuring every step builds a stronger future. … We also aim to grow from 1,500 to over 2,000 employees by year’s end, ensuring we scale without compromising our culture. Ultimately, I’m excited to keep building — not just projects but people, careers and a lasting legacy. Brick by brick, we’re shaping the future.
How do you define success for yourself and your company?
For me, success is defined by growth, impact and legacy. It’s not just about revenue — it’s about how many people we can help grow in their careers, how many communities we can improve with our projects, and how well we uphold our core values. For BHI, success means being a company that people want to work for, that customers trust, and that continues to innovate and expand while staying true to its roots. If we can continue to do that while taking care of our people and delivering excellence in everything we build, we’re winning.
