CHICAGO — The last year has not been easy for many Americans, and the shaky economy has been particularly hard on the construction industry. The second half of 2002 did bring some hope into the lives of Chicago contractors, however. During that time period business started to pick up again, in some cases dramatically. As Chicago readies itself to host the AHR Expo and ASHRAE Winter Meeting, many contractors have so much work that it was difficult for them to find a few moments to discuss just how busy they are.
Thankfully, two Chicago-area contractors did spare a few moments to talk about how their businesses are doing.
