Our team

TOM BUCKINGHAM, Builder

Tom Buckingham founded Buckingham Resources LTD in Bend, Oregon in 1990. Combining his Business Management degree from Oregon State University, business experience as manager of a large staff for a major sector of a national telecommunications company, and his artistic eye, Tom found a lifelong passion realized in custom home building. His unique perspective in the industry comes from having been the client as he and his wife had two custom homes built for them.

From nationally acclaimed equestrian estates in the Willamette Valley, 360 degree panoramic-view penthouses in Portland, homes throughout Bend, Sunriver, the Oregon coast, to executive homes in Portland and SW Washington—Tom has over 30 years of luxury custom home-building experience. He takes exceptional pride in working hand in hand with each client, architect, designer, and the expert craftsmen to provide unparalleled value, exceptional quality, sustainable solutions, and long term reliability. 

Tom lives in Bend with his wife Kimberlee. Together they have two children, Brittanee and Sam, their spouses, and three strikingly handsome new grandsons. Everyone has come full circle back to Central Oregon. In his downtime, you’ll likely find Tom enjoying the outdoors, fly fishing, hiking, camping, and photography.
