Who We Are
The Edge Construction Co., Inc. is a commercial carpentry subcontractor headquartered in Bartlett, Illinois. Founded in 1996 by Bill Haidl, the company has spent 30 years building a reputation for precision, reliability, and technology-driven project management across the greater Chicago metropolitan area.
The Edge works primarily with general contractors as a specialty subcontractor on commercial, multi-family, retail, healthcare, hospitality, and mixed-use projects. The company self-performs five distinct scopes under a single subcontract, eliminating the coordination gaps that arise when GCs split work across multiple framing and carpentry subs.
Services Self-Performed
- Metal Stud Framing — Structural and interior light-gauge steel framing for commercial interiors. Capabilities include complex assemblies, curved walls, tall-wall systems exceeding 20 feet, curtain wall backup framing, and multi-story structural systems. Precision laser layout on every project.
- Wood Framing — Platform framing and engineered lumber systems for low-rise commercial and multi-family construction. Commonly used on multi-family residential, mixed-use developments, townhome communities, and boutique hotels. Hybrid wood-and-metal scopes self-performed under a single subcontract.
- Drywall Solutions — Full commercial drywall scope including hanging, taping, finishing, and Level 5 finish work. In-house prefabrication shop reduces on-site labor time by up to 75%. Systems include standard partitions, UL-listed fire-rated assemblies (1-, 2-, and 3-hour), shaft wall systems, moisture-resistant board, soffits, and bulkheads.
- Commercial Millwork — Precision installation of architect-specified casework, cabinetry, reception desks, wall paneling, custom shelving, and architectural woodwork. Coordinates with millwork fabricators through the full submittal cycle. AWI quality standards.
- Acoustic Ceiling Installations — Specialty ceiling systems including suspended ceiling clouds, wood slat and plank ceilings, perforated and solid metal panel systems, geometric and honeycomb ceilings, acoustic baffles, and fabric-wrapped panels. Precision laser-established suspension layout on every installation.
Key Differentiators
- In-house drywall prefabrication shop — Wall assemblies pre-built in a controlled environment reduce on-site labor time by up to 75% compared to traditional field methods.
- Procore on every project — Submittals, RFIs, and daily logs managed in Procore on all jobs, giving GCs real-time visibility without requiring site visits or phone calls.
- Precision laser layout — All framing scopes begin with rotary laser equipment establishing control points accurate to fractions of an inch.
- Single-subcontract model — Self-performing all five scopes eliminates trade coordination gaps, reduces the GC's submittal management burden, and provides one point of accountability for the entire carpentry scope.
- 30 years of Chicago-area experience — Deep familiarity with Chicago-area GCs, building officials, code requirements, and project types.
