Ann Arbor Custom Home Building FAQs
Building a custom home is a big decision. If you have questions about the custom home building process, here are answers to a few of our clients' common questions.
-
Do I need to buy a lot for my new home before contacting Meadowlark?
It’s not necessary to buy a lot for your new home right away. At Meadowlark, we frequently assist homeowners in evaluating lots even before they make a purchase. It's important to note that Meadowlark doesn't have parcels for sale; homeowners are responsible for purchasing the land independently. This initial exploration phase can help us understand your needs and preferences before proceeding with the design process.

Determining the cost of a custom home project can be complicated, but our team will give you an accurate estimate so you can feel comfortable. If you have questions about what goes into the cost of a custom home build, we suggest this helpful post: Building a Custom Home: The Budget Breakdown.

What if I'm already working with a home designer or architect? Can I still work with Meadowlark?
Yes! Meadowlark enjoys collaborating with others in the design space in our community and understands the value each unique perspective brings. If you’re already working with a home designer or architect, we’re happy to bring them into our proven process to complete a custom home perfectly suited to you.

How long will it take to build my custom home?
You can plan for the design process to take 6-8 months and the building process to take 12-15 months. The timeline primarily depends on you — the faster and more confidently you finalize your selections, the easier the project progresses. To learn more, look at our guide, How to Avoid Remodeling Delays & Keep Your Construction Timeline Moving.

Will you help with the interior design of my new custom home?
Our interior designers are degreed professionals dedicated to bringing your custom home vision to life. While we do not offer interior furnishings directly, our designers work with you to ensure all the details of your home reflect your personal style.

Can I save money by doing some work myself?
With Meadowlark custom homes, our 3-year warranty keeps you covered and supported. Any work you complete will void the warranty, so let our skilled in-house crews and trusted subcontractors handle it.
