WHO WE ARE
A Partner You Can Trust From Blueprint to Build
Founded in Crystal Lake, Illinois, DeLauter, Inc. has grown from a locally respected general contractor into a nationally operating firm. With active licenses and registrations in 36 states, our reach spans the country, but our approach is personal. We bring clarity, communication, and precision to every stage of the project lifecycle so our clients never have to wonder if things are getting done. They know they are.
OUR MISSION
Building Beyond the Blueprint
Our mission is simple: to elevate construction expectations through thoughtful planning, transparent communication, and rock-solid execution. We strive to not only deliver on our promises but to redefine what clients expect from a construction partner.
"As the Director of Real Estate for a large firm, I have had the pleasure of working with DeLauter, Inc. on 21 retail store build-out projects over the last 4 years. The DeLauter team stands out in the level of detail and professionalism they bring to all my projects, which were completed ahead of or on schedule, according to the plan specifications and either below or within budgetary guidelines."
Director of Real Estate in the Chicago Region
"We bid on a project in Minneapolis, MN, and DeLauter was a fully engaged General Contractor in the project. The other General Contractors that were bidding on this project were not willing to work with us after receiving the initial bids. We decided to move forward, looking to build a relationship with DeLauter for this project. Between DeLauter’s office, the project manager, and the superintendent, the project was successful on all levels. Their communication with our local operations team and corporate office was instrumental in the success of this project. DeLauter was very proactive throughout the project's duration, including the follow-up at the end of the project, the warranty period, and beyond.
We look forward to working with DeLauter in the future."
Senior Construction Project Manager
