Two Generations of Construction Experience

Construction runs in our family starting with Jamie Childs’ 30 years of residential and real estate experience. Over those years he has developed over 100 residential construction projects. Jamie’s son, Peter, grew up learning the construction business and residential real estate industry. As the future of Childs Construction, he has devoted himself to growing the company.

Quality and Client Satisfaction

Construction Management

Our approach to construction management is all about quality, communication, and delivering a superior product. We’ve had the opportunity to build some of the finest homes in Lake Forest and the surrounding Chicagoland areas.

Happy Customers

My wife and I have been fortunate enough to build several homes throughout the years. I can honestly say that our experience with Childs Development was our best experience by far. The personal touch throughout the entire process made the experience as stress free as possible. Childs Development attention to detail and follow up are second to none and the quality of workmanship is first class all the way. Subsequent to Karen and I closing on our home they continue to follow up to make certain everything is good and to our satisfaction. If/when we are considering our next home we would definitely work with Childs Development again!

Lake Forest, Illinois

I purchased a new home from Childs Development midway through construction in 2016. Jamie and his organization were very easy to deal with and they responded quickly and in a helpful manner to all my requests. The house was delivered on time and I am completely satisfied with the high quality of workmanship. Any small problems I encountered after the sale were quickly taken care of without question.

Lake Forest, Illinois

My husband and I worked with Jamie and his team on a custom home in 2016 and 2017. We had never undertaken a project of this complexity before, and Jamie’s expertise and counsel throughout the process was invaluable to us. Jamie partnered closely with our designer and was quick to solve problems and bring new ideas to the table. We really enjoyed the collaboration. Jamie’s team was highly transparent, responsive and professional throughout the 18 month project, and the follow up and follow through after we moved in has been particularly outstanding.
