North Shore Chicago Custom Home Builder
We are your:
Lux Builders NorthShore builds custom homes, additions, and major remodels across Chicago’s northern suburbs. We coordinate design, permits, and construction with one accountable team and a clear schedule. If you want to see our results before we talk, browse the Portfolio to review recent projects by community.
Where We Build
We deliver family-focused floor plans and efficient construction in established neighborhoods. Our team manages village reviews, coordinates utilities, and keeps tight sites moving without disrupting daily routines.
Glencoe projects call for context-driven architecture and careful detailing. We align plans with lot constraints and lake proximity, then guide permitting and inspections to maintain momentum.
From new construction to large additions, we organize work around Glenview’s varied parcels and HOAs. Expect disciplined scheduling, consistent communication, and finish packages that fit your style.
Golf offers unique lot sizes and a small-village review process. We plan early with survey, drainage, and access so trades, deliveries, and inspections stay on track from foundation to finish.
Lakefront exposure and wooded sites require strong envelopes and moisture control. We specify durable exterior assemblies and manage permitting steps common to Highland Park projects.
Kenilworth emphasizes architectural consistency and quality. We collaborate with architects and designers to match neighborhood character, then execute with documented quality checks.
Estate-scale projects benefit from clear scopes and vendor coordination. We handle complex selections, long-lead materials, and phased schedules while maintaining a clean site and predictable milestones.
We streamline approvals that involve HOAs and municipal coordination. Our approach balances privacy, sound control, and practical storage—frequent priorities for Lincolnshire homes.
As our local base, Northbrook receives full design-through-build delivery. We offer site reviews, feasibility checks, and detailed pre-construction so budgets and timelines stay aligned.
Tight urban-adjacent lots demand precise logistics. We plan staging, parking, and deliveries up front, keeping neighbors informed and inspections on schedule.
Wheeling projects often center on modern layouts and energy upgrades. We integrate mechanical design early and sequence trades to shorten time between rough-in and closeout.
Historic streetscapes and coastal weather inform Wilmette builds. We match exterior detailing, specify resilient materials, and coordinate village reviews from submittal to CO.
High-finish homes and complex sites are common in Winnetka. We manage millwork, stone, and specialty trades with rigorous sequencing so details install cleanly the first time.
What You Can Expect Everywhere We Work
- Single point of contact. One team coordinates design, permits, scheduling, and trades.
- Transparent planning. Itemized estimates, allowances, and milestone calendars set expectations early.
- Documented quality. Framing, waterproofing, insulation, and MEP receive the same attention as visible finishes.
- Active communication. Weekly updates, site photos, and standing meetings keep decisions timely.
- Local know-how. We track village processes, inspections, and common site constraints for each community.
Typical Project Types
- Custom Homes. Ground-up builds with coordinated architecture, engineering, and interiors.
- Large-Scale Additions. Second stories, great-room and kitchen expansions, and multi-room wings.
- Whole-Home Remodeling. Layout improvements, envelope upgrades, and comprehensive finish refreshes.
Planning and Permitting
Pre-construction sets the tone for every project. We start with site review, survey coordination, and feasibility checks. Our team prepares permit packages, tracks comments, and schedules inspections in line with the village’s timeline. This approach reduces rework, protects schedules, and keeps trades installing in the right order.
Craftsmanship and Materials
Performance begins with fundamentals. We specify framing practices that limit deflection, moisture management suited to lake and weather exposure, and HVAC designs that balance comfort and air quality. Windows, doors, roofing, siding, and insulation are selected for service life and maintenance. Interior packages emphasize durable surfaces, clean lines, and organized storage.
