Renovations & New Construction in Chicago
Great remodels begin with a great design and great design begins with highly capable designers who understand the range of possibilities. For example, Designers must know which walls can be moved and which cannot. Working closely with Habitar Design allows us the potent combination of technical and design know-how. We help to push the limits of design just a little bit further. We also help our designers deliver value: our construction experience let’s them understand the cost of their concepts allowing them to make cost-effective choices.

We combine great customer care, world-class interior design capabilities extensive building knowledge, and outstanding craftsmanship down to the finest details.
We know choosing a custom home builder is a huge decision that will impact a year or two of your life. Here are a few reasons why Stratagem Construction will make a great partner as your home builder:
Quality
Construction is a family tradition. My father built homes in the Chicago area since 1962 and I grew up in the industry. But beyond that I went to Medical School at the University of Chicago before taking up my family’s business. I bring that love of knowledge, attention to detail, and integrity to everything we do at Stratagem Construction. We build everything as if we were building it for our own family – always with a long view in mind. Our unflinching goal is quality construction that will endure so you enjoy the beauty of your new home for many years without worries.
Originality
We have our own interior design staff to design floor plans and extraordinary room details. In addition, we operate our own wood shop giving us the ability to create a wide variety of unique custom details. Our shop has provided unparalleled woodwork for some of the finest homes in Chicago. In addition, we’ll work with your architect cooperatively or we’ll introduce you to some of the best architects in the area to help you achieve your vision.
Customer Care
Throughout the design and construction process of your new home, you’ll find our designers and craftsman approachable and helpful. We’re a small team you can count on and get to know. Our goal is 100% client satisfaction and we’ll go the extra mile or three to achieve it. We understand that our clients are the life-blood of our success and we want them to sing our praises about our home building to all their friends. And one more thing, the buck stops with me, Mitch Newman. I’ll always be there to take care of any problems that may arise in the same way I did when I took care of patients.
A Full Vision
The perfect home has to be perfect for you. The spaces, furnishing and hardware have to accentuate your life and also be an expression of who you are. For us, a home begins with a foundation and ends when the furniture is in place and the last window dressing is hung. Even if we don’t do the furnishings, we build with the furnishing in mind. That full vision helps us achieve more for our customers.
