Answers to What We're Asked Most
Starting Your Home-Building Journey
Getting Started
What types of homes does Mark Adler Homes build?
Classic, well-built custom homes, tailored to each client’s needs, wants, and budget rather than a production plan. That includes custom design, build on your lot, and energy-smart features throughout. Every home we build is personal. No two are ever the same.
Where do you build?
Primarily Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, Franklin, West Bloomfield, Farmington Hills, Commerce Township, Berkley, Beverly Hills, and Huntington Woods, with additional projects throughout Southeast Michigan. We have extensive experience building on a wide range of properties, including lakefront sites.
What makes you different from other builders?
The name on the door is the person you’ll work with. That means hands-on, personal involvement from Mark, a responsive team, strong communication throughout your build, and features many builders consider upgrades included in every home.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
Most of our homes take about 12 to 18 months from final design to move-in. More complex projects may take longer, and we’ll walk you through a realistic timeline for your specific home early on.
Can I customize an existing plan?
It depends on the path. With a fully custom home, you and your architect have room to change layouts, move walls, and add features like a home office, wine room, or outdoor kitchen. With a semi-custom Bloomfield Collection home, you may be able to personalize selections and finishes, and depending on timing, some additional options as well; our team will walk you through what’s available for your specific home.
What if I just have a lot and no plan yet?
That’s a great place to start. Our team will help with site evaluation, architectural design, and exterior and landscaping direction, so your plan grows out of the property itself. We also handle the demolition, permits, site preparation as well as review the site closely up front so we can plan around what’s there.
Do you take on renovations or expansions?
Yes. We take on major renovations and expansions, the kind that change how a home lives, from a full kitchen remodel to reworking your floor plan, without leaving the neighborhood you love it in.
How do I get started?
Reach out and let’s talk through your ideas, your property, and your budget. We want the process to feel exciting, not stressful, starting with that very first conversation.
Have you won any awards?
Yes, including multiple Parade of Homes Blue Ribbon awards and regional craftsmanship recognition. You can see the full list on our Awards & Recognition page.
Do you build luxury homes?
Much of what we build is high-end custom homes using premium materials, with smart home technology woven in throughout.
