We are very satisfied with Buildmax Company they did great job. We like the fast response and fast work they provide for us. My husband appreciated our project was precisely done. Buildmax takes care of demolition excavation. After that they worked for a couple of weeks on framing and siding, we recommended this company! Thank you for everything. That project was something we never experienced before. Happened, we have a new home! Thanks again for everything.

Buildmax Demolition & Excavation Company Chicago

These guys were the best. We had a plot of land that needed serious excavating done including putting in road access, sceptic, tree clearance and a serious amount of fill. All of this was done in a timely professional manner and at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend Buildmax Company Chicago. The quality of their work was without fault.

Look under Yelp reviews for Buildmax…

Look under Yelp reviews for Buildmax Excavation and Foundation Contractors. This is the same owner, who is stating that two customers that hired him to do work are actually his competitors. Another name he goes by for his business that is Clarke Fundamentals, Inc. He now added a third name including Buildmax and MB Home Additions. He has an open complaint with State of Illinois Attorney General. Look at the Google reviews. These companies Clarke Fundamentals, Buildmax and MB Excavation with many different addresses and phone#s are all owned by same owner with NONE OF THESE BUSINESSES LISTED WITH BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. See failed foundation photos completed in 11/2021.

Classic bait and switch

Classic bait and switch. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! All Buildmax locations not listed with Better Business Bureau. BUYER BEWARE

All the Buildmax Companies and locations are run by Randy White. We now have a faulty foundation with wet spots due to poor workmanship, job completed 7 months ago. This was a job that required the Architect's drawings to be followed. It is a 10 inch thick concrete foundation that Randy decided he would use unskilled workers, a crew led by a lead Huego. To keep costs down, a concrete vibrator was never used, resulting in honeycombing throughout this foundation. His workers left wood and a aluminum can visible in the foundation. The wet spot now visible in the interior wall is where the wood was left. Randy decided then to cover up this honeycombing with a layer of concrete he intentionally thought he would conceal, not knowing photos were taken. Randy actually instructed his workmen to not follow the drawings in order to save them work, recorded on our cameras. Complaint filed with Illinois Attorney General and City of Chicago Buildings. The State of Illinois Attorney General Reference# is 2022-CONSC-00154967. Randy White, the owner of Buildmax was sent a letter September 20, 2022 that he has chosen to ignore.
