My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Featured Reviews for Sustainable Design Companies in Chicago

Icon Building Group

Meyer Design
Sustainable Design Companies in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 29, 2012
“We collaborated with Meyer Design for the interior design/decoration of a beautiful new home designed by their firm. They were consistently helpful providing us with floor plans, details and very knowledgeable, which helped us immensely when making field changes. Their help was crucial to provide the client with the best interior possible. They were always very professional and went out of their way to work on this project. They helped us meet deadlines and stay on budget. The home was (grand total) over 8,000 square feet that included a full finished basement.”
DJK Custom Homes
Sustainable Design Companies in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 7, 2013
“DJK has been a great company to work with and we are glad we chose them to build our new house. We did not want a cookie cutter type house and DKJ was defiantly able think out side of the box and provide us a wonderful custom built home. They were able to take our ideas and quickly turn them into a house design. Work was completed under a tight schedule because of our relocation from out of state. DJK was very responsive to all our questions and issues we had during the process were quickly addressed. Even after closing they have been just as responsive. We had an issue with the roof due to bad shingles from the manufacture. Rather than just patching up the roof, DJK completely remove all the shingles down to the decking on the entire roof and replace everything to make sure that we did not have any problems in the future. Overall, DJK paid attention to the details and provided us a great quality custom home…I would not hesitate to recommend them.”

The selection process often involves a detailed assessment of the life cycle of materials and their environmental impact.
Before reaching out to a Sustainable Design Company, homeowners should define their goals for sustainability, budget, and desired timeline.
