COMPLETE PROJECT SCOPE
Overview
Building new gives you full control over layout, finishes, and quality from the ground up. MB Lake Construction manages new construction projects from foundation to final finishes, with the same honesty and communication we bring to every remodel: one point of contact, not a general contractor juggling subcontractors you never meet.
Our New Construction Process
A straightforward process from the first site preparation to the final walkthrough. Open each step to see what happens during that phase of the project.
The walls, floors, roof structure, and main openings are built, giving the home its shape and structural layout.
Electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and HVAC rough-ins are installed and coordinated before the interior walls are closed.
Insulation is added for comfort and efficiency, followed by drywall, taping, sanding, and preparation for the final finishes.
Cabinets, countertops, flooring, fixtures, trim, paint, siding, and other final materials are installed.
We review the completed work, address final details, and confirm that the project is ready for handoff.
Custom Home
Building in
Southwest
Michigan
Whether you're building on an existing lot you already own or a new parcel, we work with you and your architect or designer (or help you find one) to translate plans into a real, buildable project, and we're upfront early about anything in the design that will meaningfully affect cost or timeline.
From Foundation
to Final Finish
Every phase is coordinated under one contractor, with the same team responsible for the project from groundbreaking to move-in. That means clearer communication, fewer handoffs, and one consistent standard from the structure to the last detail.

Questions
Select a question to see the full answer. The information below comes directly from our project guidance.
Building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits are typically
required, along with inspections at multiple phases of construction.
We manage permitting with the relevant city, township, or Berrien
County office directly, so you're not navigating multiple departments yourself.
Inspections typically occur at foundation, framing, rough-in
(electrical, plumbing, and mechanical), insulation, and final stages.
We schedule and coordinate each one.
