Korte Construction

We're a Design-Build construction company focused on getting the job done. And finding the best way to do it. More than 90 percent of our work is Design-Build because it offers the most flexibility and results in best-value solutions. To date, we've delivered more than 3,000 projects. On-budget. On-time. Every time. We manage more than $250 million of construction volume each year, and we still treat every job like we're building for our neighbors-the same we started in 1958.

Today, change is the only constant in the retail and restaurant industries. Thriving requires a special combination of thoughtful planning and bold ideas to stay afloat amid disruption after disruption. We've delivered retail and restaurant construction projects across the country, from minor suite renovations to major renovations and expansions to brand new buildings from the ground up. Our goal is simple: Turn owners' ideas into magnetic destinations. Whether we're remodeling a small suite, renovating or expanding an existing property or building something new from the ground up, we think about retail and restaurant construction projects in much the same way as site owners do.

At The Korte Company, we pride ourselves on giving our clients more than they expect. If you have an architect, you have drawings and you're ready to build, we're here to get the job done. And we'll deliver an exceptional project with a headache-free owner experience. We have the track record to prove it. Whether it's a negotiated or hard-dollar bid, we fully understand the bidding process and can offer solid numbers based on a clear understanding of job scope. We've delivered three million square feet of construction while serving as general contractors.

Construction management is a project delivery system in our toolbox in which we facilitate both design and construction by organizing people, materials and equipment. It emerged as a delivery method in the 1960s and 1970s to provide a better project value than the traditional design-bid-build method - AKA general contracting. If you hire us as your construction management company, you can rest assured we'll lead every aspect of your build - from well before groundbreaking until long after the ribbon-cutting.

As an experienced manufacturing construction company, we're laser-focused on delivering spaces that meet our customers' business goals. That means working together to ensure that our designs give workers and systems a space optimized for productive, profitable work. We've done it across the country, earning a nationwide reputation as a manufacturing construction company that "gets it." They're usually not the flashiest buildings on the block (although we certainly can make them look beautiful). But manufacturing facilities challenge us to be the best at what we do.

Since 1981, our skilled interior design team has transformed square footage into spaces that make bold statements. Korte Interiors balances function and form to create spaces that inspire and motivate. Over the last four decades, that expertise has taken us across the country on a wide variety of jobs-from large warehouses and offices to local churches and schools. As more businesses shift to employees working remotely, the right tools will help make working from home a success. For employees looking to refresh your home office, Korte Interiors, an authorized Haworth dealer, can provide work-from-home furnishings designed so you can thrive safely and ergonomically in your own environment.

The Korte Company has delivered some of the most sophisticated manufacturing and warehousing facilities in the world for clients including The Walgreen Company, Hershey Foods Corporation, Hitachi, Anheuser-Busch, and The U.S. Postal Service. Our teams have helped redefine logistics and streamline production for manufacturers across the country. From the front office to the production line to the loading docks, we deliver end-to-end new construction, renovation and expansion services for industrial clients-on-budget, on-time, every time.

The Korte Company has always been about innovation in construction. From our humble roots building for our neighbors in Highland, Illinois to becoming one of the nation's largest integrated Design-Build firms - we've always built smart. Through the years, we've worked tirelessly to refine our approach, improve our methods and deliver exceptional results for our clients. In 1963, that led us deliver the first known commercial Design-Build project, Helvetia Nursing Home, right in our hometown of Highland, Illinois.

At The Korte Company, the job is always the boss. That means we pick the best tool for the job. When it comes to construction delivery methods, whether we use fully integrated Design-Build, general contracting or construction management, we get the job done. On time, on budget, every time. As we've grown into one of the biggest construction companies in the U.S., we've added a full suite of construction services. We offer full architectural design, surveying, interior design, assessments and even emergency construction and disaster restoration.

You might say it's a simple approach to construction. A team working together from start to finish in open communication and purposeful collaboration to deliver otherwise unachievable results. It's the notion that when owners sit at the same table with architects, builders, engineers and estimators, great ideas - the best ideas - are born. And the way is paved for creative solutions to take hold, resulting in costs minimized, schedules streamlined and efficiencies realized. Design-Build is a construction delivery method that provides owners with a single point of contact for both the design and construction phases of a project.

At The Korte Company, we've provided full-service land surveying for more than 20 years - that's back when tape measures and paper were the tools of the trade. Today, our crews are equipped with the latest technology in surveying and computer-aided drafting to provide the most accurate services available. Combine this technology with our experience, and we're able to complete surveys that are accurate and on-time.
