Pepper Construction

We believe building performance impacts human performance and that the future of construction is sustainable, resilient and high-performing buildings. This belief drives us to explore new technologies and methods that support the visions of our clients and positively impact the communities in which we live, work and play. That means finding ways to build smarter and cleaner and encouraging the use of healthy materials and efficient systems - so through our work today we see tomorrow transformed.

Pepper's roots are planted in Illinois, as our birthplace, headquarters and largest center of operations. From offices in downtown Chicago and the suburb of Barrington, we service clients throughout the state and the Midwest region, as well as across the country.

Whether our teams are figuring out how to shoehorn a 21-story hotel into a tight urban site, building a suburban corporate headquarters or completing planning and construction for local school districts, we approach every project as a true partner ready to help you make the most informed decisions and achieve your goals.

Much of the credit for our successful relationships over the past 90 years goes to the trust that we build project by project. In fact, more than 80 percent of clients who have worked with Pepper choose to work with us again and again. It's that level of trust that motivates us to keep innovating and advancing so we can bring even more value to the services we provide.

Those services are often used to support large projects scheduled across multiple phases and costing hundreds of millions of dollars, and Pepper has the financial strength and staff resources to properly support each one.

We also offer the same level of dedication to our smaller projects. It may surprise you to learn that despite our size and reputation, our average project size is about $3 million. We understand how to deliver work at both ends of the spectrum – and everywhere in between – and enjoy the variety that doing so provides.

One common thread among all projects is the full integration of our services. At any point, your project team has the ability to tap experts in a variety of areas, including estimating, quality, safety, high performance, MEP coordination and laser scanning. We use the latest technology to weave everything together in ways that help you achieve your goals, while clearly tracking and helping you understand exactly where you are at each step along the way.
