New Home Construction in Grand Rapids & West Michigan
Building a new home is a major investment, and choosing the right builder matters. Archstone Homes constructs new homes throughout Grand Rapids and West Michigan, working from architectural building plans and coordinating the construction process from the foundation through the finishing details.
Building Your New Home From the Ground Up
Archstone Homes serves as the building contractor for new home construction, working from architectural plans to coordinate the trades, construction schedule, and details that bring your home together.
From site preparation and foundations through framing, mechanical trades, exterior work, and interior finishing, we keep the project organized and communicate with you as construction moves forward.
From Building Plans to a Finished Home
Architectural plans describe what will be built. Construction is the work of actually building it — coordinating trades, materials, scheduling, and communication so the plans come together as a finished home.
Archstone works from building plans and manages the construction process, keeping the project organized from the foundation through the final walkthrough.
What to Expect When Building Your New Home

As the building contractor, we coordinate construction according to the architectural building plans. That can include site preparation and foundations, framing and structural construction, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC coordination, roofing, siding, and exterior work, interior construction and finishing, and inspections and the final walkthrough.
The process starts with a conversation with Kevin or Brent about the home you want to build. Brent reviews the property and relevant construction details, and Archstone prepares and sends an estimate. After you accept the estimate, material selections are finalized and we coordinate the project schedule.
Construction timelines depend on the size and complexity of the home, the scope of site work, material selections, weather, and the current schedule. We discuss timing with you as part of the project rather than offering a fixed timeline before reviewing the details.
