Serving Northern Indiana & Surrounding Areas
Our Custom Build Expertise
Design-build solutions for distinctive living
Forge Construction & Design specializes in truly custom builds—from new homes and major additions to whole-home renovations, kitchens, baths, basements, outdoor living spaces, and unique specialty rooms. Our design-build approach keeps architecture, engineering, and construction aligned, so your ideas become tangible spaces that work beautifully and last for decades.
With 15 years of experience and a team that is licensed, insured, and bonded, we manage every detail with precision. You get clear scopes, documented specifications, detailed schedules, and craftsmanship from vetted trades. We prioritize safety, clean job sites, and meticulous execution that respects your home and investment.
A transparent path from concept to construction
Your project begins with a collaborative discovery session to define goals, aesthetics, function, and budget. We complete site and existing-condition assessments, develop schematic concepts and 3D visuals, and present curated material options that balance beauty, durability, and performance. Early feasibility and value-engineering insights help protect your priorities while optimizing cost and constructability.
You’ll receive line-item estimates, allowance schedules, and a realistic timeline that accounts for selections, permitting, and procurement. We plan around lead times, coordinate design approvals, and outline contingency strategies. Expect weekly updates, milestone sign-offs, and a clear change-management process so there are no surprises—only informed decisions.
Skilled trades, rigorous standards, reliable delivery
We build with proven methods and premium materials: robust foundations and framing, advanced moisture management, tight building envelopes, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows and doors. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are engineered for safety, comfort, and longevity—and we offer smart-home integrations, solar-ready infrastructure, and low-VOC finishes.
Each project is led by a dedicated superintendent and supported by a project manager who oversees schedule, budget, and quality. You’ll have access to progress photos, daily logs, and inspection reports. Our QA/QC checklists verify code compliance and craftsmanship at every phase, minimizing rework and keeping timelines on track.
Closeout includes a comprehensive punch list, professional clean, and a well-organized handover package with manuals and warranties. We stand behind our work with structured warranty support and post-occupancy check-ins, ensuring your space performs as promised long after move-in.
