Marcin Kawa, founder and owner of MK Construction and Builders, learned from the best builders on how to build the best. Over his 15 years in business, he has put his focus on luxury construction and combined it with his keen eye for design.

Today, he has others in the firm like himself, who build to the highest standards with the best materials, and who also have an appreciation for great design.

As the business has grown, architects and designers have taken note.

The result is a collaboration between top architects/designers and MK’s builders that consistently helps customers see their dreams come true.

A perfect example comes from an article in the January/February issue or LUXE Magazine, which described how designer London Walder took advantage of a Chicago high rise apartment’s “good bones to enhance the classic details of what was already there, recruiting MK builders to refinish oak herringbone flooring and create built-in cabinetry and moldings, along with new marble windowsills throughout to add to the elegance.”

According to Kawa, this flexibility in having knowledgeable in-house teams of builders collaborating with top designers he knows, and who know his company, or with clients who come to him with a designer in mind, is a big advantage. “It brings customers the best outcomes.” He adds, “We work with some of the finest names in design throughout Chicago, L.A. or New York, so we are not limited in any way.”
