The Process Makes a Difference
When it comes to comparing custom home builders, pricing for builders of the same caliber will be similar. It’s the custom home building process and people that you need to feel comfortable with before choosing a builder.
Here are some of the ways the Schmidke Construction and Contracting process stands out.
ASSEMBLING YOUR PROJECT TEAM EARLY
A successful custom home build starts with detailed planning. Smart design decisions in the early phases help capture your vision and control costs. We partner with experienced architects, interior designers, and skilled trades throughout Southwest Michigan and Northwest Indiana. Once you commit to working with us, we’ll match you with the right designer and architect based on your preferences.
Already working with a team? That’s great. We’ll collaborate early to review site conditions, construction timelines, material planning, and value engineering opportunities. This helps reduce change orders and keeps your home building process on track.
Moving your build forward
When it’s time to break ground or start demo, you’ll want to know what’s next, and when, and what it looks like! Most of our homeowners live off-site or manage multiple properties. At Schmidke Construction, you’ll work with a project manager who understands all the details of your build, plans for upcoming phases, and troubleshoots all obstacles in a thoughtful way. Your project manager coordinates every step of your new home construction or custom remodeling project, working closely with our general contractors, subcontractors, and material partners.
Communicating at multiple touchpoints
Consistent communication is essential. That’s why we build in weekly and monthly updates between our team, your interior decorator, architect, and you. Our cadence of communication is laid out during the early build phase and flexes to ensure we fit within our clients’ busy schedule.
Our industry specific project software allows clients to see photos, change orders, budget updates, and track progress all in real time and at their convenience. Whether you’re building a vacation home, a cottage home, or a modern house, we adapt to your lifestyle and schedule.
Delivering a personal experience
Every custom home we build is deeply personal. We take time to learn your vision and guide you through every stage with care.
Our team celebrates key milestones, keeps you informed, and prioritizes your experience. We know the clients and their family and they get to know ours. That connection matters when you’re building a lake house, a luxury home, or completing a full home remodel. Over the course of each home build, there are milestones that deserve recognition and our team strives to deliver an experience, not just a great home. We look forward to sharing more details with you. Let’s chat!
