At Simply E & C, we are more than just a certified Minority Business Enterprise — we are a family-owned construction force with deep roots on Chicago’s West Side. Our workforce is homegrown, trained, union-affiliated, and invested in the same communities we serve. We don’t just hire from the neighborhood — we build careers, guiding workers from the ground up into long-term union success.

 

From apprenticeships through Hire360 and West Side Forward to participating in major community-driven events like the Black Business Expo in Maywood, our team is on the ground and in the room — consistently networking, building, and growing. With strong ties to BCOE, HACIA, and Black Contractors United, our leadership team — ensures Simply E & C is always top-of-mind and present where it counts.

 

We are union signatories with Locals 364, 134, 150, and 176, capable of managing a scalable portfolio of work ranging from small residential projects to large-scale commercial jobs. Prime partners include Maron, Pepper, Gilbane, UJAMMA, BOWA and Kelso. Our strength lies in our ability to communicate clearly and manage projects efficiently — using tools like ProCORE or streamlined daily reporting when necessary to maintain transparency and client trust.

 

With multiple revenue streams and internal systems for back office operations, we maintain stability, speed, and adaptability. Our team takes pride in turning around smaller contracts quickly by dividing tasks with precision across the family.

 

At Simply E & C, we believe in building the future from within — from empowering the next generation of inner-city youth to providing consistent union work for our community. Our commitment is clear: quality work, efficient management, deep-rooted partnerships, and a steady pipeline of opportunity.

 

We don’t just construct buildings.
We build trust, opportunity, and legacy — one project, one person, one block at a time.
