Self Build & Owner Build Loans — Michigan

Normandy provides owner builder and self build construction loans throughout Michigan. Whether you are building in the Detroit metro, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Lansing, or in a rural community across the state, our program supports borrowers who want to act as their own general contractor on a new residential construction project.

Michigan’s residential construction market spans urban suburbs and rural communities across the Lower and Upper Peninsula. Michigan uses the Michigan Residential Code (MRC) based on the IRC. Frost-depth foundations of at least 42 inches are required due to Michigan’s deep freeze-thaw cycle, and proper drainage design is critical given the state’s significant precipitation levels. Normandy’s Michigan self build construction loan is available for single family owner occupied properties, with conforming loan amounts up to current limits and jumbo financing available for larger projects. Land purchase may be included in the loan, and lot equity may be applied toward your loan to cost. Foreign nationals are eligible. Pre-qualification typically within 3 to 5 business days.
