Custom Home Builder Washington Township, MI
A New Home In Washington Township
A wetland, a drain, a pond or a stream can sit on a lot here or right beside it. We look for them before the drawings go far and place the house with them in mind.
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 Washington Township
Permits
We prepare the full application with your designer, surveyed plans and county permits included, and file it with the Building Department.
Home Size
Size and height depend on the lot. We work them out for your address with your designer before the drawings go far.
Water, Well And Septic
Some lots here have public water and others rely on a well and septic system. We find out which yours has and handle the county permits.
Wetlands, Lakes And Streams
A wetland, drain, pond or stream on or beside a lot shapes where a home can sit. We look for them early and place the house accordingly.
Taking Down An Old House
When an older house has to come down first, we arrange the utility shutoffs, draw up the plan of the building and handle the demolition permit.

Our crews keep to the township’s working hours from the first day to the last.

Questions About Building In Washington Township
Is my Washington Township lot on public water, or will it need a well?
It depends on the lot. Send us the address and we will find out, then handle the county permits if a well and septic system are needed.
How do we know what size home will fit our lot in Washington Township?
By working it out for your address. We go through the lot with your designer and settle size and height with the township before the drawings go far.
There is a pond or a drain on our lot. Where do we start?
On the ground. We walk the lot early, confirm with the township where a home can sit, and place the house to suit.
Our lot is in a subdivision with an association. Who deals with their approval?
We do, alongside you. We read the subdivision’s restrictions before design starts and take the plans to the association before we file for the permit.
The old house on our lot has a well and a septic tank. Do you handle taking it down?
Yes. We arrange the utility shutoffs, have the old well and septic tank closed properly, and handle the demolition permit before the new build begins.
