We are a family owned business in Chicago's North Shore.
Bryan, the owner of BDS Design Build Remodel, grew up in Massachusetts and received his Bachelor of Architecture from Roger Williams University. After college, he moved to Chicago to intern with an architecture firm in the city of Chicago.
Shortly thereafter, he made the decision to focus on the construction side of home remodeling and worked for a Chicago-area contractor for seven years before starting BDS Construction (later BDS Design Build Remodel) in 2003. He currently resides In Libertyville with his wife, Laura, and their three children.
Here's a list of all the areas where we work throughout Chicago's North Shore. If you live near one of these areas but don't see your neighborhood listed, feel free to contact us! It's likely we work in your area!
