Legacy. Integrity. Impact.
Meet Del
Del Tompkins didn’t just want to build homes—he wanted to make a difference. That’s why he founded Tompkins Custom Builds: to create spaces where families feel at home, cultures are celebrated, and underserved communities are given the attention they deserve.
At Tompkins Custom Builds, we take a purpose-driven approach to every project. We don’t just meet the standard—we aim to exceed it. No shortcuts. No quick fixes. Just thoughtful, lasting craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
Whether it’s a single-family home or a community-focused project, we put people first—every step of the way.
Rooted in Chicago. Built with purpose. Driven by heart.
Based in the heart of Chicago. Committed to building with heart.
