Design + Build on Your Lot


Our goal is to be your partner in navigating through the process of designing, planning, budgeting and realizing your custom home.

We build for you in Oakland County and close by neighboring areas.

  • We provide Professional Design and Construction Management Services from Concept to Completion.

  • We will review your site and analyze the costs to determine the investment needed in improving and preparing the lot
  • We will help you understand the big picture


This can all happen within a few days to a week after you first call us. You will not need to worry about making decisions on your own. We view this as a partnership and will help you figure out how to maximize value on your lot, designing for the best views, sunlight, and so on. We offer a turnkey solution so that you can feel well prepared for the budget, timing, process, and the beautiful custom home that is always the end goal.

We promise to be hands-on and by your side the entire way. 

Looking for and Finding your Land


Helping customers find land is a part of our everyday service.  A common question Kraus Design + Build often hears is “Do I have to own my land before I schedule an appointment?”  The answer to this question is No.

About 50% of our customers have already purchased their land while the remaining 50% is still searching for the right location for their new custom home.  Bob Kraus will gladly meet with you to discuss what type of property you are searching for and help you with the final assessment of the property.  In addition to finding a lot, you will have the opportunity to search floor plans meeting the needs of you and your family.  

Once your floor plan is selected and you have several pieces of land you are taking into consideration, our building team will assist you with a site evaluation to make sure the floorplan you choose will work well on the properties you are considering.  In addition to this, our Project Manager will review your budget and offer suggestions regarding each of the lots you are considering so you have the information you need to make the best choice for the location of your new home and your financial budget. 

Once you have selected the property, a customer can make a contract on the lot, and within a short period of time the closing for the lot and home can take place, allowing construction to begin.  In some cases, the home buyer, the Realtor and the Kraus Design + Build are working together throughout the closing process, making sure everything goes smoothly.

So if you own your property or are considering a new home location, Kraus Design + Build welcomes you to contact us to see for yourself all of the many available services we offer when it comes to building your new custom home.  For more information on choosing your Land give us call or email us.
