Our Commercial Building Remodeling, General Contractor & Renovation Services
Multifamily Renovation
We are uniquely specialized to take your gut renovation project from design to occupancy.

Through this experience, we are able to offer unparalleled floor planning and design expertise, intimate understanding of building codes and precise cost estimation.
Adaptive Reuse
We breathe new life into historic buildings by repurposing them to address present-day needs.

Industries we serve
Multifamily Renovations – Urban
We are uniquely specialized to take your gut renovation project from design to occupancy. Unlike other construction firms, we benefit from 10+ years in property management and leasing experience at 33. Through this experience, we are able to offer unparalleled floor planning and design expertise, intimate understanding of building codes and precise cost estimation.
Multifamily Renovations – Suburban
Our work spans from the city of Chicago to neighboring suburbs and states. Cubed Construction specializes in high-volume residential and commercial property remodeling starting from 25-300 units. Whether a high volume construction project or multifamily renovation, we value-engineer buildings to improve profitability.
Adaptative Reuse
2021 Preservation Excellence Award recipient for outstanding projects that involve notable improvements to individual Chicago landmarks or to buildings within Chicago Landmark Districts. We breathe new life into historic buildings by repurposing them to address present-day needs. Cubed Construction can inject renewed vitality to underused, abandoned, vacant, dilapidated, or functionally obsolete buildings. We execute a project on time and within budget, while adding value from planning through execution.
Retail and Office Buildouts
Our commercial build-outs are generally focused on spaces up to 10,000 SF. We’ve found that these projects are typically too small for the larger construction outfits and too sophisticated for the “mom-and-pop” contractors. Our staff understands these occupancy types are more scrutinized by governing code authorities and therefore we provide meticulous project management. We can take a retail or office tenant from initial design services all the way through final FF&E procurement.
