Custom Homes

Wolverine Custom Homes is unique to the industry, we have combined a building supply company with a construction company to eliminate the middle men.

Why choose Wolverine Custom Homes?

Designs - We have more than 100 designs. Any of these are just a starting point and can be customized to be your dream home.

Stability - Wolverine Custom Homes has made the investment in our model, showroom, and warehouse for two reasons:

• First, we intend to be here for as long as you enjoy your home. Many builders are not rooted in one location. They have a phone, a tool trailer and maybe a rented office. They may even do good work most of the time. But, will they be here next year or in another state?  Can they offer nearly 50 references?
• Second, our investment allows us to bypass the middlemen that most builders have to go through for hardwood, tile, lighting, cultured stone, wood siding & paneling, door hardware, and windows.

Quality - We have become a dealer/distributor for the highest quality components. The pieces that make a house your unique home - Interior & Exterior Pine and Cedar, hardwood flooring from Canada, First run Tiles, Unique Lighting, Amish Furniture, Dutch Quality Stone and Eldorado Stone, Emtek Door Hardware, Eon Decking. Yes you can find "cheaper" alternatives to these products, but you will not find the quality products we offer for less money anywhere. That is our promise.

Value - We usually build on a cost plus basis. This gives the homeowner much better control of the cost during budgeting and throughout construction. You will receive a copy of the invoice for every item in your home. We charge a flat fee to manage the project, even if we are buying at wholesale and passing the savings through to you. When you make a last minute change, you are billed only the actual cost for the change plus our flat project management fee.

Organization - Construction is a complicated process. We rely upon Master Builder, an integrated computer program designed for custom builders. This program allows us to:

• Coordinate timelines - This keeps the project moving.
• Manage vendors - Tracks schedules, payments and insurance. Insurance management for subcontractors is a critical aspect. We don't want to expose our clients to the risk of a roofer or other contractor without insurance. Our system will alert us when his insurance expires and will not allow a check to be printed unless up to date.
• Track project costs and provide actuate billings - At any point in the project we can report the exact actual cost of your home to compare to budgets.

We have two unique paths for construction. Custom on-site stick built or Cabin Series which can be either stick built or "systems built". The path is largely determined by complexity of design, but also by budget & timeframe.
