Custom Home Building in Franklin: questions.
How much should a custom home cost in Franklin, MI?
Custom home construction in Oakland County runs $350 to $500 per square foot for a quality build and $500 to $700 or more for luxury-tier work with geothermal, smart-home systems, and custom millwork throughout. Lot and site work are priced separately. Franklin pricing runs at the upper end given estate-scale homes and the care required for historic-district work.
How long does a custom home take in Franklin?
Plan on 14 to 22 months from groundbreaking to certificate of occupancy, plus six to twelve months of design, engineering, and permitting before that — roughly 18 to 30 months from first design conversation to move-in.
Do you pull permits for custom home building in Franklin?
Yes, on every job. Franklin maintains strict architectural and historic review for exterior work, which adds time at the front of a project. We prepare the submissions and pull every permit.
Can I bring my own architect’s plans?
Yes. If you already have drawings or an architect relationship, we work from your existing plans, review them for constructability, and provide a detailed fixed-price estimate against that scope. Some design refinement typically happens during that review — that is normal and part of the process.
