David Hamilton has been building in southeast Michigan for over 30 years.

When something comes up, and during the course of a home build it does, his commitment to every family is the same: whatever it is, it gets fixed. We will work together on the solution.

No brochure says this, it's just the way David does business.

Most of our families ask us afterward: "Why didn't we do this sooner?"

A guaranteed site condition cost before you sign.

Direct access to David throughout the build.

Honest answers about what's included and what isn't.

We have a full "What to Expect Guide" to help potential homeowners decide if this is the right path for them.

Check out our guide in the blog. Or just come see The Berkeley, our model home in Hidden River Estates in Armada.

We started with 9 gorgeous homesites, we have 5 left.

Queensland Estates in Bruce Township: a small, private community where every home sits on more than an acre.

Off 35 Mile Road between Van D**e and Gould, it feels further from everything than it actually is. The lots range from 1.10 to 1.45 acres. Each one comes with a daylight, walkout, or garden view basement depending on where it sits on the property. Brick on all four sides. Three-car side entry garage. These features which are typically "upgrades" are included in these estate lots.

If this summer has you dreaming about a little more space, quiet, yet still community with neighbors Queensland may just be the right fit for your family.

Most builders give you a number.

We give you three, and we make sure you understand all of them before you commit to anything.

✔️ The land.
✔️ The site costs.
✔️ The base price of the home.

Those three things together are your real number. Most builders quote you just one of them.

The site costs: soil borings, grading, drainage, septic, and utilities are the part that catches families off guard. Not because it's a secret, but because most builders estimate them instead of investigating them.

We investigate first. Before you sign anything, we spend 45 to 60 days finding out exactly what's under the ground your house will stand on.

When we give you a number after due diligence it's guaranteed. Not a ballpark. Not "based on similar lots."

We wrote a full guide to what's actually included — and what most builders don't tell you upfront.

Here's a question worth asking any builder:

"If my site costs come in higher than you quoted who pays the difference?"

🤔 With most builders, the answer is you.

With Hamilton Homes, we give you a guaranteed price on site conditions, not an estimate. We do the work upfront: soil borings, perc tests, septic evaluation, water table analysis, dirt calculations, wetland studies, and utility fees, all during a 45- to 60-day due diligence period before you close on your property.

When we give you a number, that's the number. Period.

Because building your family's next chapter should start with trust, not uncertainty.

Most people know about the cost of the home. And the cost of the land.

But there’s a third cost that catches families off guard: site conditions.

What’s underneath your property — the soil, the water table, the compression strength — all of it affects what your home will cost to build. And if nobody checks before you close on the land? That’s where the surprises come in.

At Hamilton Homes, we run a full due diligence period before you purchase your property. Soil borings. Perc tests. Engineering. All of it.

So you know your true cost before you commit — not after.
No surprises. Just confidence.
