Chicago-based firm advances three positions as it expands its role in major projects across the region 

CHICAGO, IL (July 21, 2026) —  Milhouse Engineering and Construction, Inc. (Milhouse), a Chicago-headquartered multidisciplinary engineering and construction firm, has been ranked No. 16 on Crain’s Chicago Business’ 2026 list of the largest engineering firms in the Chicago area. Milhouse rose from No. 19 the previous year, reflecting the firm’s continued growth and increasing capacity to serve public- and private-sector clients throughout the region. 

“Chicago is our home, and every project we support is an opportunity to make a positive impact on the people and communities around us,” said Wilbur C. Milhouse III, PE, Chairman and CEO. “Moving up this list is an important recognition of the meaningful work our team is doing across the city.” 

Milhouse provides engineering, construction and program management services across utility networks, highways and tollways, airports, transportation systems, facilities and major developments. Milhouse teams help plan, design, manage, and deliver projects that modernize critical infrastructure and improve how the city functions. In Chicago, that work supports many of the systems and places people rely on every day. 

Crain’s identified public infrastructure investment as a major driver of demand for engineering firms across the region. Milhouse is part of that momentum, supporting projects that improve mobility, strengthen reliability, and support the region’s long-term growth.
