Raffin Construction serves as a general contractor for the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana areas. We provide general contracting services to the commercial market, heavy industrial market, and religious institutions.
Commercial General Contracting
Raffin Construction’s team brings our commercial clients’ ideas to reality. Here are some reasons our work stands out from the competition:
Attention to Detail
Commercial work often entails high-end finishes. Raffin has relationships with subcontractors who specialize in this kind of detailed, high-quality work.
Controlled Budget
Raffin finds you ways to save money without reducing quality. We use value engineering to solve commercial construction problems, resulting in a more cost-effective and efficient project.
Tight Schedules
Our relationships with qualified subcontractors allow us to get into the ground fast. Our use of the latest project management software allows us to punch-list and closeout the project quickly. We also encourage clients to use the project delivery method that best suits their unique goals. Design-build allows construction to begin as detailed engineering drawings are being phased in, reducing the overall project timeline.
Institutional General Contracting
Raffin has built long-standing relationships with several religious institutions in the Chicagoland and Northern Indiana areas. We have built an impressive portfolio of chapels and religious spaces over the years and have proven time and again our ability to deliver high-quality construction in a cost-effective manner.
Extensive Chapel Experience
Raffin has built numerous chapels inside of residence halls, retreat centers, student centers, and even office buildings. Whether the worship space is large or small, we have the skills and experience to build intricate, detailed, and beautiful interiors.
Specialty Finishes and Materials
Beautiful spaces require an elevated level of detail and craftsmanship. Raffin Construction has solid relationships with subcontractors that hold themselves to these high standards.
Non-Profit Construction
Because religious institutions are typically non-profit, Raffin is always very budget-conscious. We use value engineering to ensure that buildings and spaces are designed with the most efficient use of funds in mind.
Industrial General Contracting
Given our expertise in chapel construction, it may seem like our experience doesn't match heavy industrial contracting projects, but just the opposite is true. Both of these truly unique markets require the same precision and attention to detail for a successful project outcome. Our experience with the Chicago and Northwest Indiana area heavy industrial market goes back three generations. We take pride in our special ability to serve this market.
Design-Build Approach
Raffin prefers using a design-build approach to industrial contracting projects because it allows for a more tightly controlled budget, a faster delivery schedule, and better teamwork and accountability.
Minimal Down-Time
For heavy industrial clients, every second of downtime costs money. Raffin understands how to creatively accomplish capital projects with little to no interruption to regular schedules.
Generations of Heavy Industrial Construction Experience
Raffin Construction has been a major player in the heavy industrial contracting industry in the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area for more than 70 years. A founding member of the Calumet Area Industrial Commission, we are heavily invested in serving the heavy industrial market.
