Custom Home Builder Grosse Pointe Park, MI
A New Home In Grosse Pointe Park
Some lots here are on the water, and there we start with where the home will sit. Before anything is filed, we sit down with the Building Department staff and walk them through your project.
We work alongside your architect or designer. They lead the design. We keep you informed at every step and build it with care.
Building In Grosse Pointe Park
Plan The New Home First
We settle the plan for the new home before the old one comes down, and set the whole schedule in that order.
Taking Down The Old House
When the time comes, we arrange the utility shutoffs, send notice to the nearby homeowners and handle the demolition permit.
Permits
Before anything is filed, we arrange a meeting with the Building Department staff to talk the project through. Then we prepare the application and file it.
Lots On The Water
On a waterfront lot, where the home sits is the first thing we look at with you, along with the flood permit if the land calls for one.
Street Trees
For the trees in the strip beside the sidewalk, we get the City Forester’s consent before any trimming and plan the work around them.
While We Are Building
We schedule every trade inside the city’s working hours.

Questions About Building In Grosse Pointe Park

The new plans. We get the design for the new home approved before the old house comes down, and we plan the whole project in that order.
Who lets the neighbors know before the old house is taken down?
We do. We send the written notices to the nearby homeowners ourselves before any demolition begins.

It depends on the lot and the homes beside it. We look at all three with you and confirm the position with the city before the design goes far.

Only within the city’s weekday working hours. We schedule deliveries and trades to fit them.
