Scott Simpson Builders

With more than 25 years' experience, we know that each space needs the right measure of passion, process and patience to evolve into an accomplished design and quality build. Whether you're needing Integrated Design expertise for brand new construction, historic renovation or sophisticated eco-conscious/green building, our work together will be collaborative, organized, lively and open to discovery. A unified team collaborating on a single vision under a single contract is proven to save money, tighten the delivery schedule and heighten out-of-the-box creativity.

You know what you want, and we know how to design and build it. On your project, we will form a united architecture-construction partnership that includes our licensed architects, builders, project management team, long-standing subcontractors, suppliers, craftspeople, and - most importantly - you. Offering Design + Build under one roof provides extraordinary financial and communication advantages to the homeowner and we'll collaborate with you to create a completely unique home - one that embraces your own personal style and is designed specifically for your family's needs.

Scott Simpson Design + Build is an experienced, unified team of architects and builders specializing in designing and building new construction homes with eco-conscious and green building sophistication. We invite you to visit our office in Northbrook and to tour some of our award-winning green projects in local North Shore communities. Until then - have a look at some of our favorite custom eco-conscious design-build projects and be inspired to build your own green home! This was the first LEED gold certified home in Glenview - featuring sophisticated green technologies - while still creating a beautiful and comfortable home tailored to one-level living.

Offering Architecture-Construction under one roof allows us to tackle the most challenging projects on the market. It is the best way we know to ensure your goals are supported by beautiful, realistic and cost-efficient design and construction plans - made even better with our three-year warranty and 24-hour emergency service. On your project we will form a united partnership that includes our licensed architect, builders, project management team, long-standing subcontractors, suppliers, craftspeople and - most importantly - you.

We start one-on-one with you, looking at your design inspirations as well as reviewing your practical needs. From there, our custom home architects will visit your current home to understand your personal taste and determine the project's final scope. After the initial discussion, we create project concepts. Each unique solution includes site development to best capture views and light, and floor plan options to maximize sightlines and flow between rooms. We believe exteriors are as important as interiors so we'll explore exterior proportion, roof lines and window locations as we refine the floor plans.

Last day on the job to do all the final system checks, clean every corner and ready every room before handing the keys over to the homeowners of this beautiful design and build custom home in Glenview, Illinois. Tom Kenny, Partner: So the last few things that we do on the last day - we have cleaning people coming through and they're cleaning out all the cabinet drawers, touching up all the floors, getting all the surfaces. I'm walking around getting the fireplaces going making sure all the appliances have been run: dishwashers, washing machines.
