Altounian Construction

What Altounian Construction does

Altounian Construction, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned general contractor headquartered at 919 Sherwood Drive in Lake Bluff, Illinois, operating exclusively in the Chicago North Shore market. Founded in 1958 when James Altounian joined Petersen Brothers and later formalized as Altounian Construction in the 1960s, the firm is now managed by the second generation of the Altounian family alongside an experienced executive team (President Todd Altounian, EVP William Bennett, VP Operations Brad Luetje). The company employs over 50 skilled in-house tradespeople plus a construction management team, and self-performs a substantial share of work tasks rather than relying on subcontractors.

The firm delivers luxury custom construction across three primary service lines: high-end residential (new builds, renovations, additions, specialty projects such as lake houses, condominiums, classic-style homes, and home additions with integrated ice rinks), private country club construction (clubhouse renovations, pavilion builds, simulator room fit-outs at ten or more named clubs including Exmoor, Michigan Shores, and Inverness), and commercial/institutional work (education facilities, religious buildings, office renovations, and municipal projects such as Lake Forest City Hall). Projects are bespoke and quoted per scope; there is no standardized pricing or productized offering.

Revenue is generated through fixed-price project contracts acquired via a sales-led, direct-inquiry model. Prospective clients reach the firm through the website contact form or email ([email protected]), with the portfolio site, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn serving as awareness channels. No external funding, parent company, or public-market activity is indicated; ownership remains entirely with the Altounian family. The customer base is concentrated in the affluent North Shore corridor (Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Winnetka, and surrounding communities), with no disclosed geographic expansion plans beyond this micro-market.
