What is the most significant difference between custom home builders in Metro Detroit?
Most new custom home builders use many of the same subcontractors and material suppliers. This leaves their process and on site management skills to truly differentiate themselves from one another. Unless arranged, your builder will facilitate the process and conduct on site quality control, not someone he hired to supervise the construction.

When should I hire a custom home builder?
We recommend selecting a general contractor as early as possible after you have made the commitment to building a unique home. Your home builder should be a part of your design build team assisting with conceptual design pricing all the way through to providing a firm budget amount for the final drawings.
What are the most important factors in selecting their home builder?
There are many important aspects of the home building decision making criteria, but none more than doing business with a firm that operates with integrity and has a professional track record of a honorable reputation. Second to this would be that you and your builder should be like minded and enjoy working together.
Does the size of your builder matter?
The home builder size is often relevant to your needs as a customer. This is neither good or bad but speaks to the interaction level with the actual builder. A good general rule is the larger the construction firm the less you will likely actually deal with the builder on a day to day basis. Unless they are a national home building company, their buying power will not likely give them any real pricing advantages. If you require a greater amount of personalized service throughout the process, you will likely be better off with a boutique service firm
What are the benefits of a builders strategic partners?
The market size for a highly specialized luxury builder is a small market in comparison to the actual local new home construction housing market. Builders make alliances with suppliers and different vendors for special pricing consideration in exchange for their consumer loyalty.
Can your builder provide a list of custom homes that they have built? Yes
What assurances do I have that I can control the price of my one of a kind home construction cost?
By entering into a design build agreement, we as the vested partner will facilitate the design process as a working member of the design team. We provide assistance in the conceptual budgeting of various design scenarios and work with the architect and designer developing a high confidence construction budget for working drawings. This regular cost updating through the entire design process allows the client to be in control of the budget and the design process.
How do I protect my insurance risk interest in my home during construction?
Insurance is a risk management tool with many open ended exposures. Most builders carry general liability insurance. They may also carry workman’s compensation if they have employees on site. As a general rule builders should require their subcontractors to maintain both general liability and workman’s compensation as well. The lender should require the property title holder to provide builders risk insurance to mitigate the risk of substantial losses during construction. These insurance binders will provide you with sufficient insurance throughout the construction process.
