# New Homes & Barndominiums — Strouss Construction

Building a new home is one of the biggest decisions a family makes, and we treat it that way. Strouss Construction plans and builds custom homes and barndominiums on your land across the Jackson, Michigan area, including Concord, Spring Arbor, Brooklyn, Grass Lake and Michigan Center, and has been doing it since 1949. A typical build covers the lot and site review, floor plans and blueprints, well and septic coordination, the foundation and framing, and complete interior and exterior finishing, so one crew carries the house from the first drawing to the final walk through. You work directly with Dan Strouss and the fourth generation of the family the whole way, so the house you move into is the house you pictured. The quote is written to finished plans and goes in the contract before ground breaks, so there are no surprises on price.

## How it works
1. **Walk the land together**: Where the house sits decides half of how it lives. We look at the lot, the grade, the well and septic picture, and talk budget honestly before anything is drawn.
2. **Plans and blueprints**: Floor plans and blueprint design built around your family, not a catalog. Bring your own plans or develop them with us.
3. **Quote and contract**: The quote is written to the finished plans, so the number means something. It goes in the contract before ground breaks.
4. **Foundation to framing**: Site work, foundation pour, framing and rough-ins, with the family on the job while the bones of the house go together.
5. **Finishes and walk through**: Exterior finishing, interior trim, punch list, then we walk every room together before you move in.

## FAQ
### Do you build barndominiums?
Yes. Barndominiums and post frame homes are one of the things we build, and we can help you plan one that fits your land and your family.

### Can you build from my own plans?
Absolutely. Bring your plans, or we can help you develop them from an idea and a piece of land.

### We don't know where to begin. Is that okay?
That is how most builds start. Sit down with us, talk through your land, your budget and what you want the house to do for your family, and we will lay out the steps from there. The consult is free and there is no pressure.

### What does it cost per square foot to build?
There is no honest flat number. The site, the foundation, the layout and the finishes you choose all move the cost, which is why every home is quoted to your plans rather than a rate per square foot. Once we see your land and your plans, you get a real number.

### Do you build on your land or ours?
On yours. We build on your property across Jackson County and the surrounding counties, and we can help you think through how the house should sit on the site.

### How long does a new home take?
It depends on the size of the home, the site work and the season, so we would rather give you a real schedule with your quote than a number here. We walk you through the timeline before anything starts.
