Custom Home
Custom Home Builder in Wixom and Oakland County, Michigan
You know exactly what you want. A home designed around your family. Built on your land and finished to the standard you’ve been picturing for years.
The problem isn’t the vision. The problem is finding a builder you trust to deliver it.
Most custom home builders make big promises during the sales pitch. Then the budget creeps. The timeline slips. The phone calls stop getting returned. You’re left carrying a six- or seven-figure investment with no idea what’s happening on your own job site.
You deserve better than that. You deserve a builder who treats your home like their own.
Renaissance Builds Custom Homes the Way This Industry Should.
We guide you from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. Every step stays transparent. Every dollar stays accounted for. Every week, you’ll receive a progress update with photos, schedule details, and direct access to your builder.
This is not a volume operation. We don’t build subdivisions. We don’t cut corners to hit a margin. We build one client’s dream at a time. On their land. To their vision. At a five-star standard.
Here’s what that looks like in practice.
We help you before you commit. Most builders won’t explain the process until you’ve signed something. We do the opposite. We educate you on timelines, budgets, lot selection, and the builder vs. architect question before you spend a dollar. You’ll understand exactly what your build requires before any agreement is in place.
We plan everything before we build anything. Our pre-construction agreement locks in a detailed scope, an accurate quote, and a realistic timeline. All in writing. This protects you from the cost overruns that plague most custom builds. It also signals that both sides are serious about this project.
We communicate every single week. You’ll never chase us for an update. Every week, you receive progress photos through a shared folder. You receive a schedule update. You receive direct communication from Mark or Anthony. Not a project manager. Not an assistant. Your builders.
We deliver under budget, ahead of schedule. This isn’t a slogan. It’s the result of thorough planning, constant communication, and refusing to let scope creep take hold. Our clients expect it. We deliver it.
How Your Custom Home Build Works Start to Finish.
Consultation
You tell us what you're envisioning. The layout. A lot. The lifestyle you're designing around. We listen. We evaluate. We give you an honest assessment of scope, budget, and timeline. No pressure. No sales pitch.
Pre-Construction Agreement
We create a detailed plan for your build. Every specification. Every material. Every cost is documented and agreed upon before construction begins. This step eliminates surprises. It protects your budget. It sets the standard for everything that follows.
Build with Weekly Updates
Construction starts. Your weekly communication starts the same day. Progress photos are uploaded to a shared folder. Schedule updates follow. You watch your home come to life week by week with zero guesswork.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished home together. Every detail gets inspected. Every finish gets reviewed. You don't get the keys until you're completely satisfied. That's the five-star experience.
Built for Buyers Who Know Exactly What They Want.
Now you need a builder who takes it as seriously as you do.
You want a serious garage or shop space.
Not a standard two-car setup. You want 1,000 to 2,000+ square feet of dedicated garage, shop, or workshop space built into the home’s footprint.
You want luxury inside, not just outside.
The barn-style exterior drew you in. But you won’t settle for a basic interior. You expect the same finishes you’d find in a high-end custom home. Hardwood floors. Quartz countertops. Custom trim. A kitchen built for a family that cooks.
You already have land, or you're close to it.
Most barndominium buyers own their lot or have one in mind. We build on your property. We can also help you evaluate land before you purchase.
You've compared kit companies, and you want more.

Answers to your questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I hire a builder or an architect first?
Talk to a builder first. An architect designs for aesthetics, a builder designs for buildability, budget, and timeline. We work with architects regularly. But starting with us saves you from paying for plans that don't align with what's actually possible on your lot or within your budget.
Why do I need a pre-construction agreement?
Because it protects you. The pre-construction agreement documents every detail of your build before anything starts. It locks your quote. It locks your timeline. It prevents the cost overruns and scope creep that happen when builders start without a plan.
Can a smaller company handle a project this size?
We've built over 100 custom homes across Metro Detroit. Two licensed builders oversee every project. Our size is our advantage; you get direct access to the people actually building your home. Not a sales rep. Not a call center.
How will you stay on budget?
We plan everything before we build anything. The pre-construction agreement locks in every cost. Our weekly communication catches issues before they become expensive problems. That's how we deliver under budget. Consistently.
