My name is John Gillian and I'm vice president of Abbey Paving. We're a full
service site construction company
and will do projects from repairs in parking lots to resurfacing parking lots
to multi-million-dollar site developments. We self perform asphalt
paving
We self-perform concrete work, clean curbs, sidewalks concrete pavements. We also do
our own in-house excavation.
I believe we are the largest non plant owning asphalt paving contractor in
Chicago area.
We do more asphalt than anybody else who doesn't own a plant
That is part of our business plan
because it allows us to travel all over the geographic Chicagoland the area
whereas if we had a plan to be patented location and planted services plans
limits our size
and range
i think the thing that we offer that a lot of our customers don't know about is
the ability to the public engineer project many of our customers i think we
get a set of drawings ever expected to price them and perform the work exactly
according to them
specifications of the plan
eighty percent of the time that works well what we can offer is years of
experience construction projects and often have solutions that can either
save money or increase the quality or
meet the customer's needs in the way they were
in the height of the season we have a little over a hundred employees until
two thousand five we were subchapter s_ corporation family-owned
and in two thousand five we transition from a subchapter s_ two hundred-percent
escort he's hot which is how we are currently organized we view that you
started as a retention tool
employees who come here have a vested interest in making this company
profitable every single day the succession plan is defined it's been
employee stock ownership plan they have the comfort of knowing that as long as
there's enough work in the state of illinois and having his done a good job
to demonstrate that he can get that work performed successfully they know that
it's likely that they'll have continued employment
the range of
disciplines that we offer
excavation concrete asphalt allows us to provide for service for our customers so
we can go into a job in rather than having to deal with three or four
different contractors we can perform the work might go to one person wind up
being problem solvers for them on sites that were very quickly scheduling are
cruising in getting
in and out of the projects in that
nar industries
we tried to do the simple things very well
we return phone calls we do what we say we're going to be here
one of the things that evie tries for never project today
purchase going on
is to leave the owner of the project with the idea that if he's going to do
another project all other things being equal he wants to use every day
