Jonathan Elliott

Founder & President, The ONE Group / ONE Builders

 

A second-generation design-builder with over three decades of experience, Jon Elliott leads ONE Builders with a clear standard: uncompromising quality, timeless style, and absolute integrity. Mentored by his father, Louis J. Elliott—who founded a construction firm more than half a century ago—Jon grew up on job sites, learning that great homes are built as much on principles as they are on plans.

Jon’s approach is design-led and client-centered. He personally guides the creative process for every residence, shaping each plan around how a family truly lives—circulation, light, sightlines, and daily rituals—while orchestrating the details that distinguish a custom home. From early concept through completion, he pairs architectural rigor with disciplined project management to deliver precise craftsmanship, transparent communication, and a smooth, predictable build experience.

Under Jon’s leadership, ONE Builders designs and delivers bespoke single-family homes across northern Illinois and select neighboring markets. The firm’s work reflects enduring materials, refined proportions, and thoughtful innovation—homes that feel as good to live in as they are beautiful to look at.
