Custom Home Builder Scio Township, MI
A New Home In Scio Township
When a lot has landmark trees, we plan the home around the ones worth keeping. Before the design goes far, we’re glad to sit down with the township and talk your project through.
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 Scio Township
Permits
Two offices are involved here: the township for how the home fits the lot, then Washtenaw County for the building permit. We see the application through both.
Streams, Lakes And Wetlands
Mapped water on or beside a lot shapes the plan. We confirm with the township what it means for yours, then place the home and the drive around it.
Along The Huron River And Mill Creek
On a lot along the Huron River or Mill Creek, we set the home and the septic field back from the bank from the first site plan.
Trees
Landmark trees deserve a place in the design. We plan the home around the ones worth keeping and arrange what is needed for any that come down.
An Early Conversation
We sit down with the township before the design goes far, and bring what we learn back into the drawings.

Questions About Building In Scio Township
Who do you go to for the building permit in Scio Township?
Two offices. We first settle with the township how the home fits the lot, then take the plans to the Washtenaw County Building Department for the permit.
How long before construction can start in Scio Township?
It depends on the lot and the design. There is a township review and then a county one, so we give you a schedule covering both and update it as each step clears.
Our lot backs onto a stream or a wetland. How do we work out where the house goes?
On the lot, early. We find the water’s edge, confirm with the township how much natural ground stays beside it, and place the home from there.
Can we keep the landmark trees on our lot?
That is what we plan for. We identify them before design starts, set the home and driveway around them, and check with the township before any tree is touched.
Do you meet with Scio Township before the design is finished?
Yes. The plans have to be approved, so we meet with the township early and bring what we learn back into the drawings.
