Great Lakes permits & building codes for remodeling projects
Great Lakes is a federal installation (within North Chicago's city limits), so no municipal permit office operates on the base: construction on the installation itself, including its privatized family housing, is governed by the Navy and its housing partner rather than a local permit office. Remodels on nearby owner-occupied homes fall under the City of North Chicago or the Village of Lake Bluff, and any unincorporated Lake County parcel is permitted through the county's Planning, Building & Development department in Libertyville, which handles plan review, permits, and inspections. GS Construction manages the entire permit process — confirming the right jurisdiction, preparing the application, and coordinating inspections through final sign-off.
Completed projects around Great Lakes

Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.
We had an excellent experience working with GS Construction on our primary bedroom and bathroom renovation. From the very beginning, they were incredibly thorough and transparent in outlining the scope of work, budget, and timeline. Everything was clearly communicated upfront, and they delivered exactly what they promised. When new things inevitably popped up during construction, we discussed our options and associated costs before proceeding. Throughout the project, Greg, Caesar, and Patryk were proactive, responsive, and easy to communicate with. They were always available to answer our questions, address any concerns, and kept us informed every step of the way. When we had follow-up questions after the renovation was complete, they were just as responsive and addressed our concerns quickly. We also really appreciated the care they took with our home. They went above and beyond to protect our living space during construction and did a fantastic job cleaning up afterward, which made the entire process much less stressful. Most importantly, the quality of their work is outstanding. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of the finished project. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend GS Construction to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and detail-oriented contractor.
