The Greenside Design Build team knows how to tackle Chicago's challenging climate; they have decades of combined experience between them to prove it. Micheal Conneely and John Fullard's latest achievement? Winning the ROCKWOOL R‑Class Won & Done Sweepstakes. They’ll be bringing their winnings–and their building expertise–to a project in Chicago's western suburbs.
As the latest winners of the Sweepstakes, these boutique custom home builders will receive ROCKWOOL products* for use in an upcoming new custom build. Follow along for project updates here.
"Micheal and John represent exactly the kind of forward-thinking builders that make the R‑Class builder group so valuable,” says Chris Jessen, Business Development Manager from ROCKWOOL. “Their approach to building aligns perfectly with the R‑Class program’s purpose of bringing insights together for builders aiming to achieve high-performance, including climate-smart construction."
A reputation built on quality and trust
Micheal Conneely is a certified PHIUS builder; he began his construction journey working with his father, eventually founding Micon Construction in 1999, which evolved into today's Greenside Design Build—a premier custom home builder focused on high-performance construction.
John Fullard, a master carpenter from Ireland, brought his craftsmanship to Chicago more than 20 years ago. After working as a carpenter and foreman, he established his own carpentry contracting company before eventually joining forces with Micheal to create Greenside Design Build.
The team specializes in addressing Chicago's unique building challenges: brutally cold winters, hot, humid summers, and infamous wind patterns. This climate demands an approach to building design that’s capable of handling temperature extremes while also effectively managing moisture.
