Price

What drives the cost of custom home building in Westland

  • Home size, number of stories and complexity of the plan
  • Lot conditions: soil, grading, trees and access
  • Utilities: city sewer and water versus well and septic
  • Basement type and foundation depth
  • Specification level for windows, siding, cabinets and flooring
  • Allowances and how overages are handled
  • Energy upgrades beyond code
  • The age of the home: the typical Westland home was built around 1969, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Westland

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Westland was built around 1969. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1969 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Permits: check with the Westland building department before work starts.
