BEAR Construction Company General Construction & Construction Management

In 1984, three hard working brothers–with a home office and the goal of owning their own business–founded Bear Construction Company. While Nick, George and Jim Wienold founded the company as carpentry contractors, they soon realized that their hard work, technical knowledge and attention to detail frequently outpaced that of the general contractors they hired. They soon expanded the scope of their company–adding a general contracting operation–to meet the needs of their customers. The firm concentrated its early efforts on tenant and retail work, and its client base grew steadily because of Bear's reputation for outstanding workmanship, customer service and value. To accommodate the influx of work, Bear purchased an office and a warehouse located on five acres in Arlington Heights. Steady Growth/New HQ
The company experienced steady growth and, by the early 1990's, expanded its expertise to include the special requirements of hospital and communication facility construction. Additional personnel were added and, in 2001, Bear Construction moved into its current 36,000-square-foot headquarters in Rolling Meadows. Today, Bear Construction Company employs a complete array of professionals who focus on every aspect of construction, from cost estimation and project management to accounting and safety and risk management. Additionally, the firm employs a large team of union carpenters, laborers and decorators experienced in a wide array of projects. While the company has grown significantly since its early days, the Wienold brothers have made it a priority to maintain the same family atmosphere they began with in 1984. This culture allows each employee to share in a sense of pride and ownership for everything the company accomplishes and is among the many reasons that Bear Construction Company stands out from its competitors.

Industrial facilities keep businesses moving.

Whether it's manufacturing, processing, warehousing, or distribution, these environments are designed for productivity. Every decision made during construction has an impact on safety, efficiency, and long-term operations.

Industrial projects require careful planning, coordination, and ex*****on to minimize disruption while delivering facilities built to perform for years to come.

"The people were both professional, creative, personable, and extremely respectful. I was particularly impressed with how BEAR handled two challenges during phase two of the project... These were two really difficult situations, but BEAR's experience, daily supervision and clear communication offered stress-free solutions."

-Sister Pat Bergen, Leadership of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Joseph

What does it take to bring a project to life?

70 students from Milwaukee's Cass Street School joined BEAR Construction at their outdoor jobsite to find out. Through five interactive stations covering engineering and landscaping, construction management, safety, the trades, and community connections, students heard from BEAR project team members about the challenges they encountered and the solutions that moved the project forward.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible and to the students who brought their curiosity and enthusiasm to the jobsite! 👷🌱🏗️

Fall may have officially arrived, but BEAR Construction is still dreaming about summer days at the River Forest Park District. The new splash pad and building addition at Priory Park were designed to support everything from summer camp activities to everyday visits from local families, while new accessibility improvements, landscaping, sidewalks, and site enhancements help make the park more welcoming for everyone.

We love seeing projects move beyond drawings and construction schedules to become places where people gather, play, and make memories. Cheers to the first day of fall!

Nearly 1 in 3 male construction workers experiences psychological distress, and the construction industry continues to face one of the highest su***de rates of any profession, 4x higher than the general population.

Behind these statistics are coworkers, friends, family members, and teammates. The realities of long hours, physical strain, financial pressure, and time away from home can take a toll, making mental health awareness an important part of creating a safer industry.

Construction Su***de Prevention Week serves as an opportunity to raise awareness of an issue that continues to affect individuals, families, and jobsites across our industry.

Awareness starts with education. Learn more about the issue and available support here: https://constructionsu***deprevention.com/resources/ 🫶

Strong jobsites start with strong support systems.

This Construction Su***de Prevention Week, BEAR Construction is joining the industry in raising awareness, reducing stigma, and reminding those around us that asking for help is a sign of strength.

Mental health affects more than the workplace. It impacts families, friends, and entire communities. Sometimes the most important conversations happen around the dinner table, during the drive home, or through a simple check-in from someone who cares.

Today, we'll pause for a National Moment of Silence to honor lives lost to su***de and show support for those who may be struggling.

If you or someone you know needs help, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.
