Design-Build Expertise.
Expertise + Craft
Four services. One standard.
Reschka Design Build handles four categories of design-build work in Oakland County, Michigan: custom homes, whole-home remodels, integrated additions, and commercial tenant improvements. Every project runs the same way. One team owns design, budget, and construction from concept to completion.
Work with our in-house design team, or bring your own architect. Either path, we join the design conversation from day one, validate cost in real time, and deliver a fixed construction price before a shovel goes in the ground.
We design and build custom homes on your lot in Oakland County, from first sketch through final walkthrough, under one contract. Every custom home starts with a paid preconstruction phase where architecture, engineering, material selections, and budget are fully resolved before construction begins. Work with our in-house design team, or bring your own architect. We collaborate either way.
Investment from $700K · $250–$400+/sf · 12–20 month builds
Full-home remodels as one coordinated design-build project. Not a series of disconnected room updates. This is also where main-floor-only scopes live: kitchen-plus-adjacent-living reworks with structural changes, mechanical upgrades, and finish coordination handled under one contract from first sketch through final walkthrough.
Investment from $200K · $275–$300/sf starting · 8–14 month projects
Second-story additions, primary-suite additions, in-law suites, and additions integrated with a whole-home remodel. We match rooflines, siding, foundation, and finishes to the existing architecture. We also handle the structural engineering that second-story work on Oakland County mid-century stock typically requires.
Investment from $200K · $275–$300/sf starting · Includes engineering + permits
Office, retail, and restaurant build-outs for Oakland County businesses. Same single-contract design-build discipline applied to commercial. One team handles design, permitting, MEP coordination, landlord approvals, construction, and CO. Most commercial clients bring their own architect; we collaborate on constructibility and cost.
Quoted by scope · Office, retail, restaurant · Landlord-coordinated
Yes. About half of our projects begin with an architect the client already trusts. Either path works: our in-house design team, or collaboration with your architect. We join the design process from the first working session, validating buildability and pricing decisions in real time. The contract stays single-source through Reschka Design Build, so you still have one point of accountability through construction.
What's your typical project size?
Our minimum investment is $200,000 for whole-home remodels and additions. Custom homes start at $700,000. Commercial tenant improvements are quoted by scope. We take 12 projects per year, which means every project gets our principal-level attention from preconstruction through final walkthrough.
Which Oakland County communities do you serve?
We design and build in six Oakland County communities: Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, West Bloomfield, Rochester, and Rochester Hills. Our office is in Troy. Local permitting, historic district commissions, and design review in each municipality are handled as part of our preconstruction scope.
Design-build means the team that designs your project is the same team that builds it. Your budget is validated against current Oakland County material and labor rates before construction starts. Not discovered at bid time. Change orders on our design-build projects average 3–7% of contract value, compared to 10–20% on traditional design-bid-build.
