Luxury Full Home Renovations
Design-Build Expertise for Chicago's Finest Homes
Q Construction is a full-service design-build firm delivering luxury home renovations throughout the Chicago area. Founded by Gary Quateman, our team brings decades of construction expertise to every project — from complete gut renovations of historic brownstones to refined updates in contemporary high-rises.
We work closely with homeowners, architects, and interior designers to execute renovations that honor the character of Chicago's most distinctive residences while delivering modern performance, comfort, and craftsmanship.
Our Renovation Process
Every Q Construction project follows a process designed to deliver exceptional results on time and on budget:
1. Consultation & Discovery — We meet at your home to understand your vision, assess the existing conditions, and discuss scope, timeline, and budget.
2. Design Collaboration — We work with your architect and designer, or connect you with trusted partners from our network, to develop detailed plans and specifications.
3. Pre-Construction Planning — Our team produces a comprehensive project schedule, selects and vets subcontractors, and manages permitting with the City of Chicago.
4. Construction — We execute the work with meticulous attention to detail, providing regular progress updates and maintaining a clean, organized job site.
5. Final Walkthrough & Warranty — We walk through every detail with you before handoff, and stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty.
