Build What Your Home Needs to Function Better

Anything Construction provides general construction services for residential projects in Lapeer.

When you need more space, better layout, or new structures added to your property in Lapeer, the work usually involves framing, foundation, and structural changes that go beyond surface-level remodeling. Building an addition, framing a shed, or converting part of your home into a separate living unit requires a contractor who understands load-bearing walls, local building codes, and how to construct spaces that last.

Anything Construction handles general construction for residential projects in Lapeer. We provide framing, structural updates, and build-outs for remodels, additions, and custom projects including sheds and accessory dwelling units. Whether you are expanding your home or adding a freestanding structure to your property, we work with homeowners who need durable, functional construction that meets code and fits the site.

What Takes Shape During New Construction

When we start a construction project in Lapeer, we begin with layout and site preparation. We verify property lines, confirm the foundation or slab location, and order materials based on your design and local code requirements. Framing goes up in sequence, starting with floors and walls, then roof structure, and finally sheathing and exterior weather barriers.

Once the structure is framed and closed in, you see the shape of the new space. Walls define rooms, windows and doors are in place, and the roof keeps weather out. The addition or new building is no longer just a plan on paper, and you can walk through it and understand how it will function once finishes are added.

We work with dimensional lumber, engineered beams, plywood sheathing, and metal connectors that meet Michigan building standards. If your project requires a permit, we coordinate inspections at the foundation, framing, and rough-in stages. Construction projects often involve electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work that we schedule with licensed subcontractors as needed. We do not install those systems, but we frame the structure to accommodate them and ensure everything is accessible for inspection. The goal is to deliver a building that is square, level, weather-tight, and ready for finish work.

What Homeowners Ask Before Construction Starts

Before breaking ground, most homeowners want to know about permits, timing, and how the project will affect their property and daily routine.

What construction projects require a building permit?
Most additions, accessory dwelling units, and structures over a certain square footage require a permit in Lapeer. Sheds and detached buildings may be exempt depending on size and placement. We check local requirements before starting work.
How long does it take to frame an addition?
Framing a typical single-story addition takes one to three weeks depending on size, complexity, and weather. Once the roof is on and the structure is closed in, interior work can proceed regardless of outdoor conditions.
What is the difference between a shed and an accessory dwelling unit?
A shed is a storage structure without plumbing, heating, or permanent electrical service. An accessory dwelling unit is a livable space with its own utilities, insulation, and code-compliant systems. ADUs require permits and inspections.
Why does construction cost vary so much between projects?
Cost depends on size, foundation type, roof complexity, materials, and whether you need utility hookups or site work. A simple shed on a gravel base costs far less than a permitted ADU with a concrete slab and full mechanical systems.
What happens if we find unsuitable soil during excavation?
If the soil cannot support the planned foundation, we stop work and recommend a soil test or engineering consultation. You may need deeper footings, a different foundation design, or soil replacement before framing can begin.
