What Ratia Construction, Llc does

Ratia Construction, LLC is a full-service residential construction and renovation general contractor headquartered at 4256 N Ravenswood Ave, Unit 204, Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 2016 by Kiril Ratia after approximately 14 years of prior experience flipping houses and managing renovation assets at Platinum Concierge, the firm serves homeowners in the Chicago metropolitan area and North Shore suburbs — including Lincoln Park, Lakeview, River North, Gold Coast, Streeterville, Winnetka, Wilmette, Lake Forest, Evanston, and Hinsdale. Service offerings span kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement and room additions, whole-home transformations, custom home builds, market-prep flips, and historic preservation projects, delivered through a team of roughly 11-12 people including a Business Operations Manager, Senior Project Manager, Project Managers, Project Coordinator, Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Marketing Coordinator, and Finance Manager, with field labor sourced through a network of subcontractors and tradespeople.

The firm's core "technology" is craft expertise and project execution capability rather than proprietary software. The team carries unusually strong domain credentials for its size — a Senior Project Manager with dual Master's degrees in Architecture and Real Estate Development plus historic-preservation experience in Miami Beach, a Superintendent with 30+ years in the trade, and an Assistant Superintendent trained in architecture and historical preservation. Differentiation rests on specialized historic-preservation capability (recognized by a 2025 Chicago Landmark Award for Preservation Excellence from the City of Chicago), a curated designer/architect referral ecosystem that includes Centered By Design, En Masse Architecture and Design, Studio MAK, HARDY/S Design, and others, and brand positioning reinforced by editorial features in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Wall Street Journal Off Duty, Luxe Magazine, and Design Chicago, as well as 2026 Featured Professional status in the Architectural Digest Pro Directory.

Ratia Construction generates revenue through project-based fees on custom residential construction engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with each project priced individually based on scope, specifications, timeline, and budget; engagements are typically multi-month to multi-year. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and field-based: clients reach out via contact form or phone for an initial consultation, the owner meets personally with clients and their designers or architects, and a meaningful share of inbound demand is sourced through repeat clients and the firm's network of high-end interior design and architecture partners. The company is privately held by its founder, an LLC domiciled in Illinois with no institutional investors, subsidiaries, or parent entities disclosed.
