I hired Mr Ignacio Camacho to preform work at my home. We had a contract and he requested a hefty deposit for labor and materials. I paid it. He preformed one day of work, that ultimately resulted in a fire in my home. He signed a letter saying he would r...
This company is an absolute joke! The people who work there from the management to the labor workers do not care for the project nor their customers. The project managers are never around, the president never answers calls nor emails.... They tell you one...
Initially impressed before I was signed on as a client. Once signed on as a client, poor responsiveness and lack of communication.
Keith Venturi, owner of VP Construction of Barrington, IL is the worst General Contractor in the Chicagoland area. Dishonest, over budget and way past their given deadline. I deeply regret hiring him.
Scroll through the reviews here and you'll see the positive ones were left by the owner himself, Keith Venturi. This does not not surprise me or my co-workers, since he did some work on our office. Very sloppy work.

Great service and communication and very happy with their work. We worked directly with the company owner and he was reliable and the team did great quality work on our office.
I implore you to stay far away from VP Construction. We hired them directly through the owner, Keith Venturi. Mr Venturi lied to us about costs and the timeline. The work performed was so bad, I think a child could have done a better job. We lost some mon...

How does invoicing/payment work for most Design Build Firm projects in Lombard?
Every project differs, but you should ask any design build firm for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any design & build work is done.
If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for design build firms to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your design build firm project.
If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the design build firm to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.
What should I check for once my Design Build Firm in Lombard has finished working?
Every design & build project is going to have different results, but here are a few things to check for once any design & build company has told you they've finished the job:
- Obviously you want to do a visual inspection. Even if you're unfamiliar with design & build work, this gives you the opportunity to ask questions (even basic ones like, what did you do?).
- Ask the design build firm to describe what they did. Whether your design & build project was a repair job or a building job, have them run you through what was done.
- Compare the description provided on your design & build project estimate to the work completed. Did the professional do what was promised?
- Request that the design build firm do a follow-up visit to check on the work. Most professionals are willing to do this, especially if you ask them.
