Homes Planned For Real Life In Northern Michigan
A good custom home building starts with listening. We study how you live and how your site behaves. Sun angles, wind off the lake, tree lines, snow loads, and soil conditions all matter. The plan fits daily routines. Entries that hold coats and boots. Kitchens that cook fast. Rooms that feel calm. Storage that is near the action. We design for comfort, light, and easy care.
Our team coordinates surveys, utilities, permits, and inspections. We manage trades and deliveries. You get a clear scope with options that match your budget. We document selections and keep a live schedule so you always know what is next.

From Lake Homes To Family Plans
Waterfront and Lake Homes
Orientation captures views without glare. Decks and porches add shelter from wind. Durable exteriors resist splash, sun, and freeze thaw. We plan drainage, foundations, and ventilation for the lakeshore environment.
Family‑Friendly Layouts
Kitchens flow to living spaces. Mudrooms collect gear. Bedrooms stack near laundry. We place storage where it saves steps and keeps surfaces clear.
Downsize and Forever Homes
Single level living, wider passages, curbless showers, and smart lighting. We design for comfort now and later without a clinical feel.
Site Work and Structure
Site Prep and Utilities
Clearing, drive approach, grading, well or municipal tie‑ins, septic design, and drainage plans that protect the structure.
Foundations and Framing
Frost depth footing, engineered framing, straight lines, quiet floors, and air sealing at every stage.
Exterior Envelope
High performance windows, proper flashing, continuous insulation, rainscreens, and siding systems built for Michigan weather.
Simple Steps From Idea To Move‑In
1. Discovery and Budget
We meet on site or review the lot. We ask about lifestyle, size, and must haves. We build a target budget with smart options.
2. Concept Design
We sketch plans and elevations. We test daylight and circulation. Early choices lock savings and reduce changes later.
3. Selections
Windows, doors, flooring, tile, cabinets, fixtures, and exterior systems. We document every choice so orders are clean.
4. Permits and Schedule
We submit drawings, coordinate reviews, and post a build timeline. You see milestones and site rules before we start.
5. Build
Daily checklists, tidy staging, and steady updates with photos. We protect trees and neighbors. Quality control at each phase.
6. Finish
Trim, tile, paint, lighting, hardware. We resolve punch items fast. The house is cleaned and ready for move in.
7. Handover
Walkthrough, system demos, maintenance guide, and a warranty that is easy to use. We stay available.
8. After Care
Seasonal checks on request. Advice on upgrades and care. We want the home to feel right for many years.
Comfort, Efficiency, And Low Maintenance
Energy and Envelope
Air sealing, balanced ventilation, and insulation that meets or beats Michigan code. Window packages sized for daylight and heat control. Mechanical systems right sized for comfort and quiet operation.
Materials That Last
Durable roofing, moisture smart wall systems, engineered flooring, and bath assemblies that dry quickly. We pick finishes that clean easily and keep their look.
Healthy Interiors
Vent fans that actually move air. Low‑VOC paints and sealants. Lighting that supports tasks and evening wind down. Storage near routines keeps surfaces clear.
Smart Upgrades
EV charging, backup power, whole house surge, and simple home tech that does not complicate daily life. We install only what adds value.

Clean scope, visible costs, and a schedule you can plan around. Fewer surprises and faster decisions.

Straight lines, quiet floors, and trim that lands tight. The house feels solid and stays that way.
