Construction Management & General Contracting in Illinois and Indiana

Hillside did an outstanding job of managing, arranging, and maintaining our expectations throughout our entire building facility transformation at our Sheldon, IL location. Along the way there were many changes made from our team and Bob did a great job reacting to them while staying on schedule. His communication through the whole process was second to none, always giving us updates on timelines and completion dates. Bob’s team were not hesitant on giving us great input of ideas from their experiences while still listening to our needs and / or wants.

Please accept this letter as my referral for Hillside Development Group to perform excellent project management. Hillside did an excellent job in arranging and maintaining our expectations throughout the entire process of building our new Wash Bay in Crawfordsville, Indiana. They finished the project on time during a difficult time of year, due to winter weather conditions. Updates to the schedule and change orders along with changes in cost were clearly communicated. In the end we were delivered a beautiful functional wash bay on budget, that we are proud of and it continues to be the center piece of our operation in Crawfordsville. Bob's follow up and corrective action to our minor problems was quick and very satisfactory, he owned any problems and made them right!

Bob’s company was our general contractor on a 5,000 square foot warehouse/office building in Champaign in 2006. He was a delight to work with: He commissioned the building plans, gave us excellent advice, got the permits, and completed the project with a wonderful building. He and his subcontractors were competent, friendly, and easy to work with and did a great job. We learned that we could leave town and that Bob would just take care of things, and I learned to trust his independence and ability to make sound decisions on things that I didn’t need to be burdened with. He knows his craft well, and my partner and I look forward to working with him on a new similar building in the near future.

This Project was a 3-year endeavor (stop/start during Covid) of which finally came to fruition throughout 2023, and if it had not been for Hillside Development Group, LLC having the patience and foresight in pulling Project together, I am convinced Project would have not moved forward. You and your team provided “over and above” the requirements needed; to include: bidding, contracts, invoicing, waiver processing, etc., working with my Tenant on my behalf and most importantly Project finished within budget and on time!

I appreciate the quality of work and Bob’s attention to detail. It is evident that he takes great pride in the work he does. I am extremely happy that Dave Nelson of FBI Buildings recommended Bob and Hillside Development Group to assist me in this project. The team of FBI Building and Hillside Development Group has delivered a high quality building with excellent workmanship throughout. I wish that I had hired Bob and Hillside Development Group for my previous building projects. He was a pleasure to work with and met every one of my goals.

I’ve worked with Jared Young at Hillside Development on five different remodeling projects around Lafayette and West Lafayette—two at my home, two at our office, Lafayette Instrument Company, and one at Riverside Covenant Church. Every experience has been excellent. Jared and his team are reliable, do quality work, and their pricing is fair and reasonable. They always show up when they say, and the finished results meet or exceed expectations. I will continue to use Hillside for future projects, and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable, skilled, and honest contractor. Feel free to contact me at the contact info below.
