Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Michigan?
Custom home costs in the South Lyon area typically range from $200 to $350+ per square foot depending on finishes, complexity, and site conditions. A 2,000 sq ft home with mid-range finishes might run $400,000 to $500,000. High-end finishes and complex designs cost more. We provide detailed estimates based on your specific plans.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
Most custom homes take 8-14 months from permit approval to move-in. The timeline depends on size, complexity, and weather. We give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you updated throughout the build.
Do I need to have plans already?
Not necessarily. If you have plans from an architect, great. If you have ideas but no formal plans, we can recommend architects and designers we have worked with. We are involved early to ensure the design is buildable and within your budget.
What does your builder license cover?
Steve holds a Michigan Residential Builder license (#{siteConfig.license}). This license allows us to build new homes, additions, and perform major renovations. It requires passing state exams, maintaining insurance, and meeting continuing education requirements.
Can I make changes during construction?
Yes, within reason. Changes early in the process are easier and less expensive than changes after framing is complete. We document every change order with pricing before proceeding so there are no surprises.
