Hawthorn Woods permits & building codes for remodeling projects
The Village of Hawthorn Woods Building Department at 2 Lagoon Drive reviews residential permits on a standard 20-business-day plan-review timeline and publishes project-specific guidelines for interior remodels, basements, additions, decks, and more. Contractors and most subcontractors must register annually with the village (state-licensed plumbers are exempt from village registration), and inspections are booked by 3 p.m. the day before, with re-inspection fees drawn against a refundable bond. Homes on private well and septic can also trigger Lake County Health Department review when a project moves or adds plumbing. GS Construction manages the full permit process in Hawthorn Woods — contractor registration, application, drawings, and inspection scheduling — through final sign-off.

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.
