Orren Pickell’s storied career began in college when he started a home painting company to help with tuition and expenses. As Orren’s clientele grew, he enhanced his skills and in a few years he had designed and built his first home, almost exclusively with his own two hands. Thirty five years later, Orren Pickell Building Group is recognized as one of the Midwest’s premiere design/build firms, with Orren’s vision and personal commitment to each customer at the heart of all we undertake.

Orren Pickell Building Group enjoys a proven history of creating some of the most memorable residences on the North Shore and throughout Chicago, Wisconsin and Michigan. Our team is equally skilled in the design and construction of an elegant, old-world country house, a contemporary farmhouse or any style and complexity that a customer may envision. The unique divisions that make up our company were carefully conceived and created to enhance each customer experience.
