Testimonial
“We were living in Logan Square and had begun the process of building our family, so we began looking for houses in the La Grange/Western Springs area.

This is what you can expect when you hire OPPO for a custom or semi-custom build…
Phase One: Discovery
You’ll meet with Brian, your construction partner, to share your design vision, living needs, and budget. Next, we meet with the architect to put pen to paper and begin the design and build outline. Once we’ve collaborated and confirmed your design and budget needs, you’ll sign a contract to begin work.Phase Two: Approval of Ideas & Plans
Once you approve OPPO’s final plans, we take them to the local municipality for their sign-off and approval to obtain a building permit. Construction can begin when the permit is in hand.Phase Three: Construction Begins!
We dig, then pour the foundation of your new home. Once the foundation has set, the framers construct the floors, walls, and roof, including the garage. The semi-constructed structure is then ready for the plumbers, HVAC, and electricians, who install the house with their respective utilities. Next, the insulation and drywallers come in to enclose the walls and prepare them for trim and paint. Finally, the exterior enclosure process begins, which includes the installation of the windows, siding, and roof materials.
