Is it too early to say we miss summer? ☀️🍖 The grills may be covered soon, but we’re still thinking about the GLCA Annual Tailgate Cookoff.

GLCA members took over the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake to go head-to-head in brisket, ribs, chicken & fowl, beef, seafood, sausage, exotic meat, and pizza. Add a wing contest, face painting and bounce houses for the kids, and plenty of time to catch up with friends across the industry, and it was one of the best days of the year.

Thank you to every sponsor, competitor, volunteer, and family who came out. See the comments for the companies that made it all possible 👇

Hit play to hold onto summer a little longer. Competing next year? Which category do you think you'll be taking home the gold?

Congratulations to GLCA member John Keno & Company on being named one of Crain’s Chicago Business’s Best Places to Work for 2026!

Building a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and proud of what they do is an achievement worth celebrating. We’re proud to see a member of our association recognized for the culture behind the work.

Congratulations to Bill Vignocchi and the entire JKC team on this well-earned recognition!

Construction policy does not always look like a construction bill.

As Illinois heads toward the fall veto session and year end legislative activity, there are several issues GLCA members should be watching closely. Decisions surrounding data centers and megaproject incentives, energy policy, transit investment, labor standards, regulatory compliance, and evolving employer requirements all have the potential to impact our industry.

Through GLCA’s involvement with the Illinois Construction Industry Commission (ICIC), union construction has a voice in the legislative process and a resource for staying informed as these issues continue to develop.

Because what happens in Springfield does not stay in Springfield. These decisions can influence what gets built, where it gets built, how projects are delivered, and who performs the work.

That is why being a member of the GLCA matters. Membership helps union contractors stay informed, connected, and represented as the policies shaping our industry continue to evolve.

Staying informed means staying prepared.

This morning we were proud to partner with Lake County Building Trades and Northeastern Illinois AFL-CIO at American Place Casino to distribute Labor Day meals to families! Thank you to American Place Casino for hosting at their site!

Together, our contractors and union partners came together—management and labor working side by side—to distribute Labor Day meals to families in our community.

Strong partnerships. Strong communities. Stronger together.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this Labor Day outreach possible!

That’s a wrap on another incredible GLCA Annual Golf Outing at Geneva National!

It may have been the hottest day of the year, but even that was no match for our members! A great day on the course, even better company, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the people who make our industry so strong. Year after year, this outing brings GLCA members together outside of the job site to strengthen relationships, make new connections, and have a little fun along the way.

Thank you to everyone who braved the heat, supported and sponsored the event, and helped make this year’s outing another one to remember. We’re already looking forward to the next one!!

Construction continues on Lombard's new elevated water tower, a project that will strengthen the Village's water system for decades to come by improving reliability, maintaining consistent water pressure, and supporting future growth.

Behind every milestone is a team of professionals bringing their expertise together. It is great to see GLCA members, being led by Boller Construction, working side by side to deliver a project that will serve an entire community. This is what our industry does best. Different companies. Different specialties. One shared goal.

07/17/2026

Building stronger communities takes more than one company. It takes a team.

The Village of Lombard's new 1.5 million gallon elevated water tower along Butterfield Road is a major investment in the community's future. Once complete, it will strengthen the Village's water infrastructure, improve system reliability, help meet peak demand, and support continued growth for years to come.

We are especially proud to see so many GLCA members working together toward a common goal. Led by Boller Construction and Baxter & Woodman, this project is also made possible through the expertise of fellow members including Katco Development, Homestead Electrical Contracting, Manusos General Contracting, Thatcher Foundations, and many others.

This is what the GLCA is all about. Bringing together talented companies with different specialties to deliver projects that will serve our communities for generations.
