Custom Home Builder Bloomfield Township, MI
Building In Bloomfield Township
Most new homes replace an older one, on a street where the neighbors have lived for years.
We work alongside your architect or designer. They lead the design. We help make sure it fits the lot and the township’s rules, keep you informed at every step, and build it with care.
Bloomfield Township Requirements
Trees
The township reviews larger trees when a lot is built on or rebuilt, and asks for a tree survey and replacement planting. We arrange the survey and plan the home around it.
Lakes, Streams And Wetlands
The township’s pages cover building beside a lake, stream or wetland, and list lakes that have their own lake boards. We study the lot early and plan around what the township confirms.
Taking Down An Old House
The township decides this for each property, and its packet lists a permit, a list of items to complete first and a township inspection. We see each one through.
Permits
The township’s Building Division reviews the plans for a new home and visits the lot. We submit everything and tell you where things stand.
While We Are Building
The township sets rules for building sites, including working hours and keeping the road clean. Those are our job to follow.
Water And Sewer
The township’s page says it supplies public water, and that some lots have a private well or septic system overseen by Oakland County. We find out what your lot has before design begins.
This page is general information, not legal advice or an official answer. Bloomfield Township decides what is allowed on each property, and its rules change. For anything official, the Bloomfield Township Building Division is on (248) 433-7715.
Questions About Building In Bloomfield Township
What does Bloomfield Township’s tree preservation page ask for on a building lot?
The township sets the rules for trees. Its page describes a permit for larger trees when a lot is being built on or rebuilt, and replacement planting for trees that come down. We arrange the tree survey and handle the application with you.
Does my Bloomfield Township lake have its own lake board?
The township lists eight lakes that have their own lake boards. Its page also describes a strip of at least 25 feet beside the water to be left undisturbed. We check both for your lot and plan around what the township confirms.
Does Bloomfield Township look at the lot before a demolition permit?
As published, the township inspects the lot before the permit is issued, and its packet asks for the utilities shut off and a survey of the trees first. Whether a house may come down is the township’s decision for each property.
What is Bloomfield Township’s own estimate for plan review?
The township says its plan review takes about 10 business days. That is the township’s own estimate, and it does not include the time to prepare the drawings and surveys beforehand.
What does Bloomfield Township say about working hours and mud on the road?
The township sets the rules for building sites. Its page lists 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Saturday, with no work on Sundays or legal holidays, and cleaning any mud off the road at the end of each working day.
