About
A strong foundation of tradition, pride, and excellence.
Richards & Weyer Construction is a commercial mason subcontractor in the greater Chicagoland area, based in Lyons, Illinois — 78 years in the industry, now in its second generation of family ownership with brothers James and Michael Weyer.
Decades of craft, on and off the job site.
We are a group of well-rounded individuals with decades of experience with every type of masonry work under our belt. Our ability to conceptualize what is required for each project stems from extensive background knowledge on and off the job site. Fascinated by architecture and driven to find the best solutions, we are determined to be known as the leader in commercial masonry through our experience, expertise, and reputation.
We believe the best masonry is constructed by experienced individuals and backed by the latest technology. We use BIM modeling software to bring each project to life visually and analytically — the information necessary for efficient logistics and value from project to project.
