Owner & Principal

Joel is a fourth-generation builder who grew up on his father’s construction sites before earning a degree in construction management. Joel honed his technical skills in commercial construction before leading two high-end homebuilding firms in the Traverse City area. He brings a collaborative approach to every project, and when he isn’t helping families build their dream home you’ll find him out on the family boat or coaching his kids’ sports teams.
