Burling Builders, Inc.

Burling was proud to be invited by WEC Energy Group to attend the Illinois Utilities Business Diversity Council (IUBDC) Supplier Showcase, in Springfield. The Illinois Utilities Business Diversity Council (IUBDC) was formed as a forum for best practice sharing and information exchange among Illinois’ utilities with a focus on advancing the growth and utilization of diverse businesses in the state of Illinois. Burling has been a long-time service provider for organizations that make-up the IUBDC, providing general contracting services for over 10 years for ComEd, Nicor Gas, & Peoples Gas. A key project achievement worth mentioning is Burling's success in achieving a 90% M/WBE participation on the ComEd Chicago Training Center project, achieved with the valuable support of ComEd and the IUBDC. The IUBDC Supplier Showcase was an impactful event featuring prominent government officials and leaders from utility companies, such as Illinois Governor, JB Pritzker, CEO at ComEdG, Gil C. Quiniones, Lead Commodity Specialist at WEC Energy Group, Richard Seymour, President & CEO of Nicor Gas, Wendell Dallas and other founding members from Ameren Illinois, Illinois American Water, Aqua Illinois, North Shore Gas and Peoples Gas.
