In the current market, building a new home is more attractive than ever.  New construction has opened the door to all price ranges and styles, allowing home buyers to create a perfectly designed home plan that fits their unique needs, budget and lifestyle.

Beginning any new home construction can be a very worthwhile investment, provided that the buyer chooses the right builder to handle the project. That’s why many satisfied home buyers in Northern Illinois have entrusted their home building needs to KLM Builders for the last 25 years.  

Founded in 1987 by Kim Meier, KLM Builders has earned the respect of Chicago area home buyers by crafting beautiful, value-packed homes at affordable prices. When home buyers step into a KLM home, they immediately experience what sets them apart from other home builders in the area—a commitment to quality, value, craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.


Committed to Exceptional Value

What differentiates KLM from other Northern Illinois builders is how closely they work with customers to build superior homes that continue to be a rewarding investment for generations to come. Their motto, “our standards are others’ options,” speaks volumes to their commitment to outstanding value. Buyers are pleasantly surprised to discover the quantity and quality of amenities included as standard features in a KLM home, many of which are considered ‘extras’ by other builders. These include, but are not limited to: Andersen Silverline® insulated, thermo-pane, wood windows, Merillat® wood cabinetry, all Kohler® plumbing fixtures, Whirlpool® appliances, Trane® heating and cooling systems, energy-saving appliances, ceramic floors in all baths and laundry rooms, hardwood or ceramic floors in foyers, oak handrails and spindles, volume ceilings, full basements with poured walls, 2 and 3 car garages fully dry walled, taped, painted, and more.


Committed to True Customization

Compared to many builders who are not willing to accommodate their customers’ altering needs and visions, KLM Builder’s design flexibility is a welcome change. Customers work with a knowledgeable team that is available, accessible and approachable. They listen to what the customer wants and offer expertise and resources to help guide those details every step of the way.

Buyers have many options when designing and building with KLM. They can choose to design and build from a clean slate or select from one of KLM’s over 45 dynamic home plans that range in size from a modest 1,500 to over 5,000 expansive square feet. These plans include ranches and many 2-story designs with first floor master suites, all of which can be modified to meet the customer’s preferences. Currently, KLM features an exceptional selection of four charming communities in McHenry and Lake Counties. Or, as a full-service builder KLM can help prepare a homebuyer’s own site or assist the buyer in finding a desirable lot for purchase in the location they want to be.

“A home is an extension of its owner, and we understand that our customers desire a home that satisfies their unique lifestyle,” said Kim Meier, President of KLM Builders. “That’s why we take the time to listen to each buyer’s needs and goals in order to turn their dream home into a reality.”


Committed to Quality Workmanship

Superior construction quality and integrity of workmanship are the hallmarks of KLM Builders. Every home is constructed with the highest quality materials and finished with upgraded amenities that are not typically included with other builders’ home plans. Most importantly, KLM Builders is proud of the people who work diligently to craft each and every home. Every phase of construction is personally supervised by an experienced and seasoned project manager to ensure the highest level of quality at each critical stage of construction. 

Committed to Customer Satisfaction

For more than two decades, KLM has been satisfying buyers with superior design expertise, customer-focused processes and consistent and timely communication. Every buyer is treated as a valued, lifetime customer and not just a number, receiving one-on-one attention and personalized guidance during all phases of the planning and building of their home.
