Expert Project Management
Our #1 priority is the same as yours—a successful project. Through 15 years of managing custom concrete projects, we’ve seen it all. We know how to catch problems before they happen, and that’s why our A&D partners spec Chicago Concrete Studio for their projects. Our entire process is seamless from conception to delivery.
Just the Right Size Company
There’s few concrete fabricators in the country that can match our capabilities. Need a 20 ft. sink? 50 tabletops? We’ve never had a job that was too big. Still, we remain a small local shop that takes pride in providing a more personal client experience than the big companies. Tommy (Owner) is still the one who picks up the phone when you call.
Passion for Collaboration
We love collaborating with architects and designers on distinctive projects that leverage the customizable properties of concrete. We have the expertise to turn your imagination into reality. Have a challenging mold? Want to mix a unique material into the concrete? Need to match the color from a photo? We’ve done it all for clients.
Predictable Pricing
No one likes surprises, and neither do we. We're always transparent about costs from the start.

For projects where field measurements are not possible due to location and timeline we can accommodate. Usually in 1 -3 days we will have shop drawings turned around showing seaming, layout, exact “to fabricate measurements”, and any important info on color/ finish choice and specific design details.
