Scopes of work

Four scopes, one builder

Family owned by Brad and Shari Zenner since 2001, with more than 500 projects behind the firm. It is residential only, from a small bathroom remodel to several homes built at once, around Highland Park and the North Shore.

  1. New home with a three-car garage, stone tower and black-framed windows beyond a paved drive

    Sheet Z-01

    New construction & additions

    Z Construction specializes in both new home construction and home additions, whether you are building from the ground up or expanding the space you already live in. The firm handles every part of the project, from engineering drawings and securing permits to the final finishing touches, in one turnkey process.

  2. Kitchen with a pale oak island, stone counters, pendant lights and a curved wall of white cabinets

    Sheet Z-02

    Kitchens

    Your kitchen is the heart of your home, so the team walks you through the process, listens to your vision and offers expert advice. Custom cabinetry, countertop installation, appliance upgrades and a layout that makes storage and workflow easier are all on the table.

  1. Bathroom with a long oak vanity, stone counter, black fixtures and marble wall tile

    Bathrooms

    Changing the look, function and style of a bathroom is one of the surest ways to add value to a home. Design the dream bath from scratch or simply update the one you have: upgraded fixtures, modern designs, efficient layouts, and small-bathroom remodels too.

  2. Finished basement with a card table, pool table, wood-look flooring and a sputnik chandelier

    Basements & other spaces

    A basement can become living space, an entertainment room, a home office or a place to play, and the same crew builds decks, outdoor spaces and the other rooms of the house. Bars, theatres, gyms and mudrooms all come out of the same drawing set.

General conditions

The project is managed, not just built

Project management is on the firm’s own tagline, next to new construction, remodeling and additions. In practice it is the turnkey process: engineering drawings, securing permits, and the finishing touches, all handled by one office on Ridge Road in Highland Park.

Homeowners say it shows. Wil W. wrote that Brad and Shari “made what could have been complicated simple for our first time navigating the building process.” Lori F. praised a contractor “Knowledgeable about all facets of the project. Able to explain in laymen terms.”

Shari also leads selections and design consulting. Aimee S. described her going to stores with them and connecting them with key suppliers, and telling them where to spend more (cabinets) and where to save (sinks). Lori F. added that the interior design consulting was “spot on, always offering unique ideas.”

Whichever sheet your project falls under, you can read how each scope works on its own page: new construction and additions, kitchens, bathrooms and basements and other spaces. More homeowner words are on the testimonials page.
