OUR HISTORY
While the doors to Specialty Construction, LLC officially opened in May of 2011, the core of the company has been together in the Industry since 2000. During that time, amongst hundreds of success projects, we have had a significant, successful part in almost every major CTA station renovation/build in the City of Chicago, completed the metals scope on several significant high-rises filling in the city’s skyline, and renovated the metal finishes on the historic Willis Tower.
Specialty Construction has always worked towards maintaining steady, strategic growth in the industry and have begun to expand our talents out to neighboring States. In 2021, we were entrusted with the miscellaneous metals and medical equipment supports on a new 1.9 million square-foot inpatient hospital tower at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. In 2022, we were award the complete miscellaneous metals scope on a new 17 story high-rise in the South Gulch of Nashville. These two cornerstone projects, and their successes for both ourselves and our customers, led us to establish permanent offices in both Columbus and Nashville, where we are continuing to bid and receive work in those regions.
We continuously look to grow, leverage technology, and adapt to become a better and more organized subcontractor than our peers. We take great pride in our work and in always being the Subcontractor that General Contractor’s call when a project looks to have too complex an item, too unreachable a deadline, or are just in need of help getting across the finish line.
Specialty Construction, LLC is currently signatory with the International Ironworkers’ Union and the Sheet Metal Workers’ Union Local 73.
OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM
Brian R. Wasielewski
President, Shareholder
Brian has grown up in the industry, following his father and grandfather who both were sheet metal workers. Weeks after high school graduation, Brian was hired at a sheet metal shop, and shortly after his arrival, he was accepted into the apprenticeship program where he learned all aspects of fabrication. After a few years in the shop, Brian found himself in the office; designing parts, estimating bids, and working on new sales. In 2000, he had the vison to add a specialty division to an existing company that was in the elevator market, and would carry that vision on to become Specialty Construction, LLC in 2011. For the past 15 years, he has strived to provide the best service and the highest quality product in the marketplace, and stays committed to pushing Specialty Construction forward into becoming not only a regional, but a national leader in the industry. Brian is an avid Blackhawks fan. When he isn’t chasing down business, he is chasing down his dogs with wife Marie.
