About Us

In 1956 Provencal Builders began in Brookfield Illinois. In 1970, Harry Liesenfelt took over and incorporated the business. Since that beginning, the Provencal name has stood for quality design, excellence and fair pricing. Countless successful projects and top awards stand as a testimonial to the Provencal approach.

In 2007, Provencal Construction Inc. was formed to address the changing face of business. Provencal Construction has a new set of directors and an expanded mission. Provencal Construction’s focus is on a wider spectrum of construction endeavors including custom built homes, home additions, remodeling, multi-family residential, condo development, and commercial construction. We also assist you with design and land development.

The thing which remains as the center point of the Provencal approach is the dedication to quality, project excellence and customer satisfaction. No matter the project, Provencal Construction is the right choice.
