Custom Home Builder in Oakland County, Michigan
Build a Home That Feels Like Yours
You’ve probably looked at enough houses to know what you don’t want. Maybe the floor plan is almost right, but not quite. Maybe the kitchen feels too small. Maybe you want a larger garage, a first-floor primary suite, more natural light, or a home designed around the way your family actually lives. That’s where building a custom home becomes different.
At Renaissance Building, we serve Oakland County and the surrounding area with a focus on luxury custom homes and barndominiums for acreage owners, large landowners, and clients planning substantial projects, generally $1 million and above. Our best-fit projects are typically on acreage, estate-size parcels, or larger properties where the home can be designed around the land. From the first conversation and property evaluation to the final walkthrough, our father-and-son team stays personally involved in the process.
You bring the vision. We’ll help you build the plan.
Communities We Serve in Oakland County
Renaissance Building is based in Oakland County and serves Oakland County and the surrounding area. Our work is best suited to acreage owners and large landowners with estate-size lots, wooded parcels, and larger properties where there is room to create a true luxury $1 million-plus custom home or barndominium. Dense in-city lots and typical subdivision infill are generally not the right fit for the scale and type of projects we build.
We are especially well suited to larger properties in and around:
- Milford, Highland, South Lyon, and the surrounding acreage communities
- White Lake, Commerce Township, Springfield Township, and Independence Township
- Oxford, Brandon Township, Rose Township, and rural areas near Lake Orion
- Larger estate properties and rural parcels elsewhere in Oakland County
- Clarkston and the surrounding lower-density communities
- Neighboring Southeast Michigan areas with suitable acreage and large residential parcels
Have property elsewhere in Oakland County or nearby? Reach out and tell us about the land. We will help determine whether the site, acreage, and project scope are a good fit for Renaissance.
Custom Homes Built Around Your Life
A luxury custom home should do more than look good on paper. It should make sense for your family, your acreage, your lifestyle, and the way you want to use the property for years to come. Renaissance Building works with clients planning substantial, highly customized homes and barndominiums, generally in the $1 million-plus range. The goal is to pair thoughtful design with a structured process, so a complex project still feels organized, transparent, and manageable from the beginning.
The land can have just as much impact on a luxury project as the plans themselves. Acreage, wooded properties, estate lots, long drive approaches, private utilities, grading, drainage, outbuildings, and access all shape what is possible. That is why Renaissance is best suited to larger properties rather than dense in-city sites.
Oakland County Barndominium Construction
For homeowners with the right property and vision, a luxury barndominium can offer something a traditional home doesn’t. You can combine comfortable residential living with a substantial garage, workshop, hobby space, or storage under one roof.
Renaissance Building builds engineered, finished barndominiums designed as true homes, not unfinished shells or basic building packages. Because barndominiums involve different structural, zoning, engineering, and financing considerations, planning is especially important. We’ll help you address those questions before construction starts so you understand what your property and project require.
