Embassy Construction designs and builds one-of-a-kind custom homes in Kane and McHenry Counties. We plan around your routines and the land you own, using realistic allowances and a proven process so there’s less guessing and more clarity from day one.
What Makes It Truly Custom
We don’t force your life into a stock plan. We shape the plan around how you live and the land you own:
- Routines: morning rush, pets, storage, hobbies, and big family gatherings.
- The land you own: sun, wind, grade, drainage, views, privacy, and driveway access.
- Honest numbers: allowances matched to the showrooms and finish levels you’ll actually visit.
- Field quality: straight framing, tidy mechanical runs, and protected job sites that finish cleanly.
The goal is a home that looks right, lives comfortably, and holds up over time.

People Also Ask – Custom Homes
Planning and design typically take 8–16 weeks, and many custom homes are designed over 3–4 months or more. Most projects start about 4 months from the time we meet, once plans, pricing, and approvals are in place. Construction time depends on size, structure, and site conditions.
We don’t rely on a single “price per square foot” because it can be misleading. Site work, structure, systems, and finish level all drive cost. We use a detailed scope with spec-matched allowances so you can see how each decision affects the total.
We build most of our homes in Kane and McHenry Counties and nearby communities. Staying close lets us be on site often and keep tight control of quality and schedule.
We use both fixed price and cost-plus a percentage contracts. Fixed price clearly defines total cost when the scope is stable. Cost-plus offers more transparency and flexibility, especially for complex custom homes with evolving details.
Yes. We can plan main-level living, wider clearances, and zero-threshold details into the original design, which is usually more effective and cost-efficient than retrofitting later.
