The Daily Dig
Chicago-based general contractor Bulley & Andrews has acquired Interior Construction Group, a fellow Chicago builder focused on interior work. The deal was announced April 13, 2026. Financial terms were not disclosed. ICG will operate going forward as Bulley & Andrews Interior Construction Group out of ICG's existing downtown Chicago office.
Founded in 1988, ICG brings over three decades of interior construction experience to the combined operation. B&A COO Tim Puntillo confirmed that no layoffs or organizational changes will follow the transaction. Both teams carry over intact.
B&A is making the move as office renovation and tenant improvement work picks up, with companies returning employees to the office and buildings upgrading spaces to meet tenant demands.
The company generated $655 million in revenue in 2024 and ranked No. 196 on Engineering News-Record's 2025 list of top U.S. contractors by revenue. Its current sector mix includes higher education, retail, institutional, and healthcare.
This is B&A's fifth acquisition and its first since picking up Nashville-based Rock City Construction in December 2020, which now runs as Bulley & Andrews Rock City. The deal fits within a wider M&A wave that has stayed hot across construction, with builders and construction tech companies continuing to add to their portfolios into 2026.

TheJobWalk Thoughts
The office renovation market has real momentum right now, and this deal is a direct bet on it continuing. Tenant improvement work is one of the more active categories as companies redesign space for employees returning to the office and buildings invest in upgrades to meet tenant demands. A dedicated interior construction brand gives B&A a sharper position to go after that work.
For subcontractors and suppliers in Chicago, a newly combined B&A and ICG operation means a larger project pipeline under one procurement umbrella. Getting on their approved vendor list before the combined entity scales up its workload is a smarter move than chasing bid opportunities after the rosters are locked.
