HIGH – Everyone was submitting drawings in 2011. We saw drawings for new Chicago restaurant projects, retail construction work, office renovations, school construction and learning center additions – you name it, we saw it.

While bidding on the commercial construction remodel of a 500+ sq. national chain on State Street we were surprised to see two of Chicago’s largest GCs also bidding the job. I’m sure the retailer was also surprised. If the client needed a hospital or condo building on top of the retail it would make sense, but 500 sq.
