The DiCosola Group's Consulting Services Can Save Time and Money
With more than 15 years behind us, we know every aspect of the Chicago construction business. We have weeded out the bad subcontractors and hire only the best. We know the ins and outs of permitting, building codes, and civic ordinances in the Chicagoland area and beyond.
As with all our construction jobs and commissions, we give the same quality service and attention to detail to our consulting clients.
Permits, Codes, and Inspections
Chicago's building codes are sometimes difficult for the nonprofessional to understand. As experienced general contractors and construction managers in Chicago, we are experts at building inspections and can tell you clearly and honestly exactly what a building will need to bring it up to code.
Building Permit Application and Plan Submittal
Both suburban and Chicago construction work require permits from the local jurisdiction. Also, building plans have to be approved before they can be built. We can expedite the permit process because we know exactly what is required and how to get through it with minimum delay.
Zoning Consultation
Most cities have strict zoning laws, and all new developments in Chicago must meet those zoning requirements. We can provide a professional analysis of your proposed building location and tell you if the intended use will be allowed under the current zoning regulations.
Plan Reviews
You have the architect you want and the design you like. But will it actually work? Can you build this building with the budget you have? Is it up to code compliance? We can give you an honest and objective appraisal of your building plans before you run into costly delays down the road.
Site Inspection and Onsite Consultation
We can provide site inspections for clients who believe they have an issue with a building, such as water infiltration, masonry cracking, foundation cracks, or any number of problems. We will explain what we see and suggest the best options to repair the problem.
Green Construction
Sustainable and earth-friendly construction methods are the Chicago construction methods of the future, and we understand the advantages, limitations, and costs of building green in Chicago.
Expert Witness
If you're involved in a civil suit and need an expert witness, we can find the most credible experts in construction to help your case.
Banking Consultation for Chicago REO Departments
Currently, Chicago REO departments have a record number of property foreclosures, so area banks find themselves holding a lot of property with no easy way of making them marketable. We have worked with Chicago REO departments and inspected hundreds of properties on behalf of banks, offering expert advice on exactly what needs to be done to turn over those properties.
