Direct peers

• Ceco Concrete Construction: Ceco is one of the largest cast-in-place concrete frame contractors in the U.S., serving many of the same commercial and multi-family high-rise end markets as Adjustable. Highly comparable on business model (specialty concrete sub), target customers (national GCs and developers), and project types (office, residential, hospitality towers).
• Baker Concrete Construction: Baker is a national cast-in-place concrete specialty contractor with a similar scope of services (forming, placing, finishing, post-tensioning) across commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Directly comparable on services, customer type, and technology adoption (BIM, complex high-rise work).
• Lithko Contracting: Lithko is a national full-service cast-in-place concrete contractor focused on commercial building frames, with comparable customer mix of GCs and developers and similar service line structure. They compete in many of the same project sectors (office, multi-family, healthcare, data centers).
• McHugh Construction (McHugh Concrete): McHugh is a major Chicago-based concrete specialty contractor with a long history of high-rise and commercial concrete work in the same metro as Adjustable. Direct overlap on geography, customer base, and project types, making it one of the closest head-to-head competitors.

Regional players

• The Conco Companies: Conco is a large West Coast full-service concrete contractor offering placing, finishing, and related services for commercial, industrial, and parking structures. Comparable on services and project types but operates primarily in California and the Pacific Northwest, so it does not directly compete with Adjustable in Chicago.

Broad incumbents

• Clark Construction Group: Clark is a national general contractor and a repeat customer of Adjustable on multiple Chicago projects. While not a direct specialty concrete peer, it is a major incumbent in the same overall commercial construction market and sets the GC procurement context in which Adjustable bids.
• Mortenson Construction: Mortenson is a large national GC with a strong data center and healthcare portfolio, including the Dekalb Data Center projects where Adjustable is the concrete sub. It is a key repeat customer and an incumbent in the same end markets, shaping bid and preconstruction dynamics.
• Skender Construction: Skender is a Chicago-based GC and a repeat Adjustable customer, active across commercial, healthcare, and residential construction in the same metro. Comparable target market and overlap in project pipeline, though Skender is the GC while Adjustable is the concrete sub.
• Gilbane Building Company: Gilbane is a major national GC and developer with multiple Chicago projects where Adjustable is the concrete sub (Clark & Grand Hotels, 30 East Balbo, The Orchard). Operates in the same end markets and is a key account driving Adjustable's backlog.
• Power Construction: Power Construction is a Chicago-based GC and repeat Adjustable customer on Marlowe, Northwestern Medicine Bronzeville, and West End projects. Comparable on target market and Chicago commercial project pipeline, representing both a customer and a broader incumbent competitor for project opportunities.
