Michigan’s master home builder

New home construction starts with property development work. Oasis Homes is a qualified, experienced and a well-respected design build firm located in southeast Michigan. Our project managers, field crews, and sub-contractors all have unique skills required for basic to complex development projects. We are experts with both traditional and modular home construction and possess expert knowledge in property development.A great deal of planning goes into preparing the property for home construction.

There are a number of factors that create challenges in finding the idea location for the foundation of your home. The combination of lot size, soil conditions, foundation size, and for modular construction the number and size of the modules all need to be considered. Other challenges include inclement weather, such as heavy rains, snow and ice, soil conditions, septic system location, trees or utility poles, road access to the property, or driveway conditions all have a tremous impact on the project.

For modular building, the precise scheduling of the manufacturer's delivery time from its factory to the site is crucial. Coordination of the delivery and the set operations involves many skilled laborers, so delay to this scheduled process means additional costs and can put the project budget at risk. There may be reasons to reschedule the delivery, but it may not be possible. If one of the modules is already set in place, it is difficult to stop the process. If there are natural causes beyond anyone's control and the operation may cease, the crew will take necessary steps to protect the home from weather damage until the cause of the delay is removed.

Clearing

Land clearing consists of removal of trees, scrubs, roots and other vegetation that may be required to place the house on the site. If the property site is rural, you may be able to bury the rubbish away from the house because as it settles, it will leave a depression. If burying the rubbish on site is not an option, then it will need to be hauled away and properly disposed of and adds cost to project budget.

Property Grading
Bulldozers and excavators are needed to level the soil and prepare an area for building. In new house construction, grading is used for leveling the location for placement of the house, roadways, driveway base and landscaping purposes. The grading process involves removing dirt from high points and placing the dirt in low places to make it level in preparation for construction.
