Custom Home Builder Independence Township, MI

Water runs through Independence Township, Michigan: lakes, streams, ponds and wetlands touch many of the lots. We have yours checked before design begins and take care of the permit application from there.

A New Home In Independence Township

Some lots here connect to public water and sewer. Others run on a well and a septic system, and those take more planning up front. We find out which yours is before anything is drawn.

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 Independence Township

Permits

We assemble the application, file it with the Building, Planning and Zoning Department and follow it through.

Water, Sewer, Well And Septic

Some lots here connect to township water and sewer. Others need a well and a septic system, and for those we arrange the county health approvals early.

Lakes And Streams

A lake, stream, pond or river on the lot shapes where the house can sit. We settle that distance with the township before the design takes shape.

Wetlands

We have the lot checked for wetlands before design begins, and handle the township permit if the work comes near one.

While We Are Building

Our crews work within the township’s hours for building noise and keep the site orderly.
