What Michael Bennett Homes does

Michael Bennett Homes is a Chicago-based luxury custom home builder operating as a brand subsidiary of The Airoom Companies LLC, a diversified Illinois holding company that also owns Airoom (design-build remodeling), Airoom Architects Corp., Appliance Centers of America, and Lamb Financial (mortgage financing). The company provides end-to-end design-build services for high-net-worth individuals, spanning lot identification, architectural design, construction, and final appliance installation, with typical project timelines of 12 to 18 months. It serves affluent Chicago suburbs including Winnetka, Wilmette, Hinsdale, Barrington, Evanston, Naperville, Lake Forest, Glencoe, Glenview, Kenilworth, and Burr Ridge, with select out-of-state projects in Aspen, Colorado and Miami Beach, Florida.

The core service is built around an integrated design-build methodology supported by advanced 3D modeling for client visualization and an iterative design process that coordinates in-house architects, designers, and project managers from first sketch through final walk-through. Two physical offices anchor operations: the Lincolnwood headquarters at 6825 Lincoln Ave and a secondary Hinsdale office at 36 S Washington St. The firm holds a registered trademark and BBB accreditation, and was recognized as a Best of Houzz 2026 - Design award winner.

Revenue is generated exclusively through one-time custom construction contracts priced per project (no public pricing), with a sales-led go-to-market motion that begins with free initial consultations. Marketing relies on a content-driven mix including a topical blog, active organic social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), email newsletter, a project portfolio, and earned media features in Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, Modern Luxury, and Luxe Interiors + Design. The Lamb Financial affiliation provides integrated financing options for clients purchasing land or funding construction, differentiating the offering from pure custom builders that require external mortgage origination.

Core offering

Michael Bennett Homes designs and builds custom luxury residences in the Chicago metropolitan area. The company offers an integrated design-build service spanning lot identification, property purchase, architectural design, construction, and final appliance installation, supported by an in-house team of designers, architects, and project managers.

Product overview

Michael Bennett Homes operates as a single unified service offering — luxury custom home construction — rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core product is the custom luxury home building service, which encompasses the full lifecycle from lot identification and property purchase through design, construction, and final appliance installation. The company also offers associated brands under The Airoom Companies LLC umbrella: Airoom (renovation/remodeling services) and Lamb Financial (mortgage/financing services), which complement the home building business but are distinct service lines.
