A semi-custom home falls between a pre-built home and a custom home in terms of personalization. If you choose to build a semi-custom home, you’ll typically experience a quicker timeline, lower budget, less decision making and a lower chance of unexpected surprises. The process involves selecting from multiple home styles and pre-made floor plans. Then, you’ll select from available finishes, such as cabinets, countertops, flooring, siding and more. Finally, you’ll select add-ons like a deck or patio at an extra cost. Even though your choices are more limited with a semi-custom home, you can still make it your own with less hassle, cost and extra stress. Ashwin Building Company offers many semi-custom home styles and sizes that’s could be just right for you! Please contact us to learn more about building a semi-custom that’s perfect for you!

Assuming you hold title to the property on which the home will be built, you would most likely secure a construction loan from a local bank or financial institution for the cost of the construction. We would invoice you monthly for the percentage (%) of work completed and your lender would then complete an on-site inspection to confirm our numbers. The lender would issue a “draw” to you with which to pay us. This process would be followed each month until completion. Upon completion, you could convert your construction loan to a permanent mortgage.

When it comes to home-building, having the right blueprints is essential. We're happy to provide our clients with a convenient connection to trusted architects or accept blueprints from any architect our clients' selects on their own.

We build homes year-round! We're Michiganders and can handle anything Mother Nature sends our way.

We work year-round for all interior and exterior projects! However, the best time to start your home renovation is at the least disruptive time for your lifestyle and daily schedule. During your initial consultation, we will be happy to answer any questions and consider the timeline of your project before moving forward. Contact us today to get started!

Each remodeling project is as unique as each client’s vision for their home renovation. During your initial consultation with our team, we will provide you with a timeline for both the design and construction stages and refine and define the details of your project as the process progresses.

The budget for your home remodel largely depends on the type and scope of the project and the cost of materials, among additional factors. Each project is unique according to the existing structure, the size of the project and the wants and needs of each client. One of the smartest ways to create a home renovation budget is to lay out the renovation projects you want to complete and then price them with the help of the professional team at Ashwin Building Company. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the costs of your project during a free consultation. Contact us to schedule a consultation today!

Ashwin Building Company does it all, including whole home remodeling, kitchen and bath remodeling, seamless additions and outdoor living space renovations. We can also help business owners renovate and update their workspaces, such as doctors’ offices, retail stores and more.

It depends on the size and scale of the project.  Most cosmetic renovations do not require engineering or other types of blueprints. However, big projects like additions do require them. If you’re not working with an architect already, we can refer you to high-quality architects that can create your blueprints.

Rest assured, Ashwin Building Company will file for and obtain all of the construction permits needed for your project.
