In today’s episode of The Build Show, Bryan and Mike revisit a stunning custom home near Chicagoland to see just how far it’s come in under a year. What was once bare dirt is now a nearly complete luxury residence packed with smart design decisions and serious craftsmanship. From asphalt and paver driveway strategies to masonry details, mineral paint, copper gutters, and precision water management, the exterior tells a story of intentional planning. Out back, the team dives into outdoor living upgrades, change orders, and design-build flexibility, then heads inside to explore robust mechanical systems, radiant heat, electrical service, backup power, and low-voltage integration. The tour wraps with showstopping spaces like a sport court, golf simulator, and refined interior finishes. This episode is a masterclass in thoughtful construction—proof that great homes are built by embracing detail, adaptability, and expert execution. Start to finish inspires builders.
