In Illinois, concrete work does not require a state license from the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. However, Chicago's Department of Buildings regulates construction permits and contractor licensing. Before any concrete work begins, check whether your project needs a city permit and whether the contractor holds a valid Chicago trade license. You can verify a contractor's license status through the Chicago Department of Buildings website.

Most concrete projects in Chicago require a permit from the Department of Buildings. The permit process ensures that your work meets local building codes and safety standards. Your contractor should be able to guide you through permitting requirements and handle the application if needed. Always ask whether the bid includes permit costs and timelines.

When hiring a concrete contractor, ask about experience with your specific project type—whether it's a driveway, slab, patio, or foundation—and confirm their understanding of Chicago's building codes. Request references and clarify who handles site grading and drainage. Since permits are often required, confirm that the contractor will obtain necessary approvals before work begins.
