Working with 41 North Contractors has been a partnership defined by results and professionalism. As a director managing complex, high-visibility projects, I value their ability to lead multiple trade and vendor partners while maintaining clear communication. Their expertise spans all facets of project planning and management. They consistently deliver quality work on our large ground-up projects as well as our unique locations in the historical buildings of Chicago. The team’s strong coordination, proactive problem-solving, and commitment to mentoring new professionals make them an invaluable partner for Raising Cane’s.

Staci Bockwinkel, Director of Construction • Raising Canes

As the Founder & CEO of two restaurant concepts operating in 8 states, I have been blessed to have enjoyed a 15-year relationship with 41 North Contractors. I can honestly say they have not only been outstanding General Contractors, but also consultants, confidants and friends. Never once have I ever questioned their dedication to our concepts and their passion for putting the client first. It has been an outstanding relationship that I continue to appreciate very much.

Over the years, 41 North Contractors has done just about everything for both Biaggi’s as well as Ancho & Agave … new ground-up construction, second-generation conversions, comprehensive refreshes and on-going maintenance.The 41 North team have truly been our partners over the years and there is no doubt this has made our Companies better and my job far less stressful.

Todd Hovenden, Founder & CEO • Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano and Ancho & Agave

41 North is a team dedicated to working in tandem with our interiors team, the project architect, and the client to deliver a space that we all are proud of. They work to ensure the project’s design integrity is kept throughout the construction process, and come up with vital solutions when needed to keep the project moving forward. 41 North embodies what it means to collaborate with all parties, and we have seen this on multiple concepts that we have partnered on together. Their trust and value of the interior design process is unmatched, and why we continue to partner together.

Studio K Management Team

41N is the best, truly. They are the most dedicated, hardworking , caring, competent contractors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. There is nothing they can not fix, repair or build! If they have not done it before, no problem they will find away and relish in the endeavor of learning something new. I have worked on countless projects with them from small remodels to 14, 000 sq. ft ground up buildings and have never felt in better hands regardless of the scale of the project. I can not recommend them enough, they are not only fair but truly have never let us down when it comes to deadlines or timing. A true gem in the field of construction.

Pam Valenta, Director of Design • Biaggi's and Ancho & Agave

I am the owner of a private, members-only social club located downtown Chicago, Illinois. I have had the distinct pleasure of working closely with 41 North Contractors on the project from start to finish and can attest to their professionalism, quality of work and most important to me, transparency. The project remained on-budget and on-time throughout the course of construction and I could not be more pleased with the result.

I have since entered into contract on two additional locations in different states and have awarded both jobs to 41 North Contractors.

Clayton Wilson, Owner • The Clayton

41 North is a group that has a unique talent and ability to work alongside my team to achieve our mutual goals on time and on budget. Their team owns the workflow process and works to find solution through a bottom-up approach that understands financial impacts along with operational performance in mind. This tool and unique ability to see both sides to find creative solutions as a vested partner in the process is uncanny.

41 North has demonstrated the ability to establish firm deadlines and build creativity with my diverse group of owners. As trusted partners in the process, they are easy to recommend them for any project someone may be considering. Their process offers a unique perspective, pursuing and finding answers through tireless due diligence and collaborative team communication with my ownership group at all points along the way. Their ultimate goal was to ensure that we were completely satisfied with their work, and they work tirelessly to make that happen beyond any company that I have ever worked with in the past.

Jeremy Samatas, President/Owner • Lucky Monk/Stix and Stones, LLC

41 North single-handedly rescued a restaurant and bar build-out project that was grossly over budget after competitive bid. With no time to re-design (let alone re-permit or re-bid) before my client’s rent meter started clicking, we were in a very, VERY tight spot. All the cards were stacked against us – difficult municipality to work in, unrealistic timeline for completion (even as bid), and way over budget due to late-breaking financial issues my client was having. And then 41 North sat across the table from my client and myself and told us that they could value engineer this project to the new budget mark, maintain the overall design intent, AND come very close to the original timeline. Of course, I was very skeptical. But I had the absolute joy over the next several weeks of seeing the 41 North team not only achieve these lofty goals, but handily exceed them! Did the design suffer? Absolutely not. 41 North was in nearly constant communication with my design team to insure the overall design remained intact. They were very sensitive to all our design details and offered us countless alternative suggestions to achieve the same effects while slashing long lead times and higher costs. They left no stone for savings uncovered, pressing their subcontractors for ideas at every turn. They also were completely “open book” with their numbers. So I had every confidence that my client was getting the highest value for each and every one of his construction dollars, every step of the way. But frankly, the best part really was the unwavering passion 41 North displayed in rising to this daunting challenge – and succeeding. After the dust settled, I clearly remember seeing the 41 North team at the grand opening party beaming with pride in what they had just achieved. And rightfully so. In today’s world, you just can’t put a price on the level of pride, passion, and commitment 41 North exudes. This is why I can unequivocally recommend 41 North Contractors for your project.

Ryan P. Nestor, Esq., Principal • Barker Nestor, Inc.

41 North Contractors and ADE have teamed up on many projects and together we have always succeeded. 41 North is a young and aggressive contractor that puts the client first. They are very familiar with the requirements of a commercial kitchen and have great follow through. We have worked with their team for several years and have seen their relationships with national restaurant clients strengthen and grow every year. They’re prime focus is making the schedule work, staying in budget and making the client happy…
