Custom homes, modern farmhouses, craftsman-style homes, traditional builds, barndominiums, and multi-family properties. Every home is designed around how your family actually lives. Nothing off a shelf. We work within about 45 miles of Middlebury, which covers Goshen, Elkhart, Shipshewana, Nappanee, South Bend, Mishawaka, Warsaw, LaGrange, Ligonier, Plymouth, and the surrounding area.

It depends on square footage, finishes, site conditions, and complexity. You get a detailed bid with clear line items so you know where your money goes. No hidden fees. If the budget is tight, we'll tell you where to spend and where to save. We're happy to give you a ballpark after an initial conversation.

Most custom homes take 6 to 12 months from groundbreaking to move-in, depending on size and complexity. A simpler ranch might be closer to 5 to 7 months, while a larger custom build with specialty finishes can run 10 to 14 months. Indiana winters can impact concrete and exterior work between December and March, so we schedule foundations and framing during optimal conditions when possible. You'll get a realistic timeline upfront — not an optimistic guess.

Either way works. If you already own land, we'll evaluate it for buildability — soil conditions, drainage, well and septic feasibility, setbacks, and access. If you're still looking, we can advise on what makes a good building lot in this area and help you avoid common pitfalls before you buy.

Before construction starts, we build a photorealistic 3D model of your home. You can walk through every room on your phone, tablet, or computer — see the layout, swap countertops and flooring, test paint colors. It takes the guessing out of the process and cuts way down on change orders during the build.

You hire us and forget about the rest. We pull permits, schedule inspections, bring in every trade, and manage the whole timeline. You don't have to call the county or chase down plumbers. One team runs your entire build from the foundation to the day you get your keys.

We handle all of it. You need building permits through your county's Building Department, plus inspections at each stage — footings, framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, final. Elkhart County, LaGrange County, Kosciusko County, St. Joseph County — each one has its own process and we know them all. We schedule the inspections, manage any revisions, and make sure everything passes the first time.

Changes happen — we get it. Every change order is documented in writing with clear pricing and schedule impact before any work starts. No surprises on your invoice. That said, our 3D walkthrough process catches most design changes before construction begins, which saves you time and money.

Indiana doesn't require a state contractor license for residential construction, but we carry full general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We require the same from every subcontractor on our jobs. We can provide certificates of insurance for your records or your lender.

We walk through the finished home together and knock out any remaining punch list items. You get warranty paperwork, system manuals, and our direct number. We back our work with a written warranty, and manufacturer warranties cover roofing, HVAC, windows, and appliances. If something comes up after you move in, call us. We pick up.
