Chicago permits & building codes for basement remodels
Chicago building permits go through the city's Department of Buildings, which routes projects by scope: the online Express Permit Program handles most repair work and small improvement projects, renovations that need architectural plans go through the Standard Plan Review Permit Program, and a licensed design professional can fast-track eligible plans through Self-Certification. Structural, electrical, and plumbing work beyond minor repairs requires a permit, and income-eligible long-term senior homeowners can have permit fees waived on 1-3 unit homes they occupy. GS Construction manages the full permit process for every Chicago project — application, plans, and inspection scheduling included.

Testimonials
Your Neighbours in Chicago Love Us
Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.
Having done a fairly large amount of “research” online I concluded that it was time to get an excellent contractor team and not second rate. GS is A + excellent. From bottom to top, their people care about doing the right thing, they are active listeners who ask for feedback, and have a very positive attitude in achieving excellence in the little matters which leads to big beautiful renovations. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra, said a prominent fb coach, and its true in renovations. Greg Szady and Patryk Szady have high quality people and actively work with my selected and excellent designer Jenn Peterson to put my first floor into the 21st century and beyond my expectations. The designer selected very high quality materials and Patryk and Greg delivered excellent renovations installations and detail. Kudos especially to GS flooring experts because everything transformed beautifully. No one has paid me for this review or told me what to say.
