Housing + Opportunity
West Bloomfield housing stock and design-build opportunity
West Bloomfield Township is home to approximately 65,800 residents with a median home value near $390,000 and median year built of 1985. The community is defined by its relationship to water: Pine Lake, Cass Lake, Upper Straits Lake, and Orchard Lake shape both the housing stock and the remodel brief.
Lakefront properties from the 1970s and 1980s drive whole-home remodel demand centered on opening toward the water, maximizing sightlines, and addressing moisture and foundation conditions specific to waterfront construction. Non-lakefront subdivisions off Maple Road pattern closely to Oakland County norms, with mid-century colonials needing structural work and layout reconfiguration.

Working with West Bloomfield permitting and EGLE requirements
West Bloomfield Township operates its own Building Department on Orchard Lake Road. Plan review for residential remodels typically runs two to four weeks; structural work requires engineered drawings.
Lakefront properties face additional regulation. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) regulates construction within defined setbacks from inland lakes — permits may apply to shoreline work, retaining walls, or structures within the regulated zone. Some subdivisions also carry HOA architectural review. We coordinate township, state, and HOA submissions in preconstruction so permitting doesn't delay construction.
Questions + Answers
Frequently asked in West Bloomfield.
- How long does a design-build project take in West Bloomfield?
- Residential design-build projects in West Bloomfield run 6 to 12 months kickoff to move-in. Lakefront properties with EGLE coordination may extend preconstruction by two to four weeks. Active construction runs 12 to 20 weeks for whole-home remodels and additions; 28 to 40 weeks for custom homes.
- Can you build on a teardown lot in West Bloomfield?
- Yes. We build custom homes on both lakefront and non-lakefront teardown lots. Lakefront teardowns carry additional EGLE coordination for work within the regulated shoreline setback. Every teardown starts with a site-feasibility review covering zoning, setbacks, EGLE status, and utilities before you commit.

- Yes. About half our clients engage our in-house design team; the other half arrive with an architect or interior designer already engaged. Both run under one contract. We coordinate directly with your architect through design, permits, and construction.
