Forward Design Build Remodel is an award winning design build firm located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We specialize in residential remodeling and custom homes. We take pride in helping our clients love their home again!

Over 25 years ago Jef Forward, President & Creative Director at Forward, started this company with a passion for both architecture and building. He decided that the design-build method was exactly the service he wanted to provide for Ann Arbor area homeowners.

A successful project is a beautiful, functional home completed within stated expectation of cost, service, and schedule from the beginning of design to the end of construction. Design build services feature us as your designer and your builder, an all-inclusive one-stop shop experience. All of the projects on our website are products of this.
