Custom Homes on Lake Michigan

 

Schmidke Construction and Contracting has built custom homes on Lake Michigan from Harbor Country to Holland, Michigan for over 20 years. We get excited about crafting custom homes in the areas we serve but building in the dunes of Lake Michigan is the most rewarding due to the challenges that critical dune areas present. 

Built for the Lake Michigan Dunes

With the right team, navigating a build with knowledge of potential challenges and with appropriate care for critical dune and coastal areas will save months’ worth of time. That’s why helping clients find the right architect or working together with an architect early in the process allows for efficiencies and proper consideration for the site and the client’s desires.

At Schmidke Construction, our project management, professional relationships, reliable skilled tradespeople, home warranty, and home concierge services, allow clients to live the lifestyle they imagined with a custom home on the Lake Michigan coast.

AGENCIES and special permitting

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, or EGLE requires special permitting in critical dune areas. Similarly special considerations and joint permitting may be required by the Army Corps of Engineers.

While homeowners can apply for permits, it’s important to note that leaning on a build team who has experience with the process and relationships with the agencies can save time and money in the long run.
