Plan a new Highland Park residence or comprehensive renovation with careful attention to the property, neighborhood context and the way the home needs to function.
Highland Park projects often begin with an existing structure, a highly valued address or a homesite where access, scale and architectural context deserve careful consideration.
A successful project must balance the client’s goals with practical site conditions and a coordinated design process. Gutman works with homeowners and their residential professionals from concept through completion.
Highland Park’s small, high-value lots and Town of Highland Park permitting process mean new construction typically starts as a teardown-rebuild — Gutman manages that process end to end, from demolition permitting through final occupancy.
In a neighborhood where the address is often the reason for the purchase, renovation reworks the floor plan, adds square footage, rebuilds kitchens and primary suites and updates systems throughout — keeping the lot, streetscape and mature trees intact.
Highland Park projects often involve an architect, interior designer and specialty consultants already engaged by the client. Gutman coordinates construction, engineering, permitting and municipal review around that team so the design intent carries through to the finished home.

Highland Park is a mature, largely built-out market, so most projects there are either infill new construction on a replacement homesite or a comprehensive renovation of an existing residence.
Established neighborhoods often carry additional review considerations alongside standard permitting. Gutman coordinates engineering, architectural review and required permits as part of the Develop phase, and confirms current municipal requirements for the specific property.
Yes. Gutman coordinates directly with client-selected architects, interior designers and developers, organizing engineering, permitting and construction sequencing around the design your team develops.
Gutman follows four phases: Define (clarify the property, goals and architectural direction), Develop (coordinate plans, engineering, selections and approvals), Build (manage trades, sequence, communication and quality control), and Complete (inspections, orientation, walkthrough and move-in).
Gutman builds without a fixed aesthetic — modern, transitional and traditional homes are all shaped around the client, the property and the surrounding neighborhood context.
Every new Gutman custom home receives a HERS evaluation, benchmarking the home’s energy performance using the rating methodology maintained by RESNET.
Every new custom home closes with a final walkthrough and systems orientation. Our standard builder warranty includes one year of workmanship coverage, two years of coverage for electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems, and ten years of structural coverage. All warranty coverage is backed by an independent third-party warranty provider.
