History

Norcon is celebrating 25 Years in 2024!

Norcon, Inc. is more than just a small business, Norcon is a family. What began as a mere vision for a more client centric world of construction shared by two individuals, Jeff Jozwiak and Charlie Norwesh, has now transformed into a team of over 65 passionate individuals dedicated not only to the same client-oriented goal, but also to supporting one another along the way.

2006 marked Norcon's television debut on Extreme Makeover Home Edition (Check out 2007, Episode 5 on Netflix!). This project combined passions for construction services and helping those in the community. Today, Norcon partners with Habitat for Humanity, Noble Network, Boy Scouts of America, Steppenwolf Theatre, and many more through projects and volunteer opportunities.

Jeff and Charlie spent 1997-1999 creating their business plan, and incorporated Norcon, Inc. on March 22nd, 1999. Later that year they secured a high-end residential renovation as their very first project. What started as one project, grew into 25 years of business. Jeff and Charlie built a legacy of award-winning projects ranging from small tenant build-outs to large new construction hotels and apartment buildings.

In 2007, the current Norcon office, located just off the Ohio Feeder Ramp, was purchased and renovated. 9 years later, Norcon expanded, and an addition to the building was needed to fit the company's growth.

A rebrand brought the newest version of the Norcon logo to life. You may see this on jobsites and signage around the Chicagoland area and beyond!

Not only has Norcon expanded into 10+ market sectors, but also into states all across the U.S. Pharmaceutical projects, multi-family residential projects, hospitality projects, and more have brought Norcon to over 20 states outside of Illinois including Connecticut, New York, Florida, Tennessee, and Michigan. Norcon even opened up an office in Indiana and has already secured repeat clients there.

Norcon has continued to expand business into all market sectors- corporate commercial, cultural, education, health and wellness, hospitality, pharmaceutical/ industrial, religious, multi-family residential, high-end residential, and restaurant/ retail. Norcon is honored to have built for iconic clients throughout the years, such as Willis Tower, The John Hancock Building, The Merchandise Mart, The Wrigley Building,

Chase Bank, Baxter, Northwestern University,

MCA, MSI, and many more.

2024 marks 25 years of incredible projects, industry events, volunteer opportunities, and even better people. Norcon prides themselves on their team of hardworking, passionate, and trustworthy individuals who live out Norcon's vision and mission each day. This team will continue to build their community for another 25 years and beyond!
