TESTIMONIALS
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 cannot 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 cannot 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 Ristorante Italiano
It is a great pleasure of mine to recommend at the highest level I possibly can, 41 North Contractors for general contractors and construction work. The museum has been contracting with 41 North for more than the past eight years, and will continue based on their current and previous performance. On time and on budget are cliché used in our business way too often, but aptly applies to 41 North, plus a lot more. They become a partner, not just a vendor. They offer a complete array of general contractor services and manage the trades working simultaneously to the benefit of the client. They provide quality workmanship and very strong leadership for our construction projects. Working at the museum is not an easy task for a contractor and 41 North stands up to the challenge and gets the work done without impacting our guests. 41 North is also very good at having a plethora of people offer advice but does not miss a beat with the challenges thrown at them. I do and will continue to recommend 41 North, and would be happy to discuss specifics at any time.
-Ed McDonald, Director of Facilities and Operations, Museum of Science and Industry
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
ln the past eleven months, 41 North Contractors has built three Wow Bao restaurants under Mike Bender's leadership. Not only have these stores been completed ahead of schedule, they have also been built with incredible workmanship. Contractor and employee safety and cleanliness were always a focus, and the environment was always one of team cooperation. I have every intention of continuing to use 41 North Contractors for our foreseeable Chicago rollout, and am considering to use them out of state as well. I have found 41 North Contractors to be a pleasure to work with as they are committed to more than just building the restaurant. 41 North Contractors is committed to relationship building and the big picture is what has earned them my business and respect.

STRATEGY
APPROACH AND PHILOSOPHY
41 North Contractors focuses on building a collaborative team early in the design phase to ensure smooth communication and project success. Engaging contractors from the start allows for cost-effective solutions, better budgeting, and timesaving approaches. By developing the budget with owners and continuously monitoring it through design, we ensure alignment with expectations. During preconstruction, we create a comprehensive schedule and work with trades to review designs, propose cost-saving alternatives, and ensure the most efficient MEP approach.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND TOOLS
We operate project management software called Procore. Procore tracks, logs, and manages submittals, shop drawings, daily logs, safety logs, weekly reports, project photos, etc. This data is stored in Procore and can be accessed anytime by the project team, but, our Project Manager will send out a weekly report to the team. The weekly report is distributed out at the end of each week and includes an updated three-week schedule, current project photos, and a weekly update sheet. This update sheet recaps site activities from the week, lists activities for the coming week, and catalogs site issues or updates that need to be addressed. There will also be a weekly owner/architect/contractor meeting set up on site. This has proven to be a useful and productive meeting.
SCHEDULE
The success of any construction project begins by establishing a realistic schedule. We build our schedules with the assistance of subcontractors factoring in material and equipment lead times. During preconstruction we issue a master schedule for the project. Which will be the road map to completing the project and details major milestone tasks. Each week, the project superintendent will create a three-week look advance schedule, which will outline the finer details of the project. This schedule is distributed to each subcontractors' office and is also reviewed during weekly on-site foreman’s meetings. We will have a two-person management staff on site for this project: a project manager and project superintendent. The project managers responsibilities consist of but not limited to subcontractor contracts, financial tracking, and submittal procurement. The on-site superintendent will be responsible for quality control. Our superintendents are experienced in multiple sectors of construction and all have extensive experience working with the Arizona Building Departments.
SOCIAL IMPACT
The success of our company has been possible because of the communities we are a part of, the people we’ve hired. We have been fortunate to donate and build for partners that contribute substantial amounts to our communities.
