DEXTER
What we see in these homes
The projects we do here are bigger in scope and more personal in character: custom homes sited to the land, barns turned into homes, farmhouse kitchens that feed a crowd.
Houses that were placed on the lot by a builder, not for the view. Great rooms with one giant space and no quiet corners. Kitchens from the first owner. Outbuildings and barns with more potential than the house. Septic, well and township review that have to be part of the design from day one.
OUR APPROACH
How Forward approaches Dexter
Site first. We design the house, the drive and the outdoor rooms as one plan. Our architectural designers, interior designers and builders are one company, so the farmhouse detail you fall in love with in design is the one that gets built.

QUESTIONS
Questions we hear most
Often, yes. We contain the work area, manage the dust, and keep the spaces you use every day working. For larger projects, Forward clients have access to our furnished rental homes.
Can we live in our home during construction?
How long will our project take?
It depends on scope, and the honest answer is that a finish refresh and a whole-home project are not in the same range. What we can promise is that you will have a phase-by-phase schedule before demolition starts, and you will know where you are in it every week.
How do you keep projects on schedule?
Selections are finalized and materials ordered before demolition begins. Most mid-project stalls are a crew standing around waiting on something nobody ordered, and the way to avoid that is to have decided earlier.
Who will be in our home during construction?
A project manager and our own carpenters lead every job, supported by trade partners we have worked with for years and chosen on standard rather than on price. You will always know who is on site and who to call. Meet the people who will be in your home on our Team page.
