Baumann Building in West Michigan — Complete Buyer's Guide 2026
Baumann Building has been a West Michigan institution since 1997 — a Holland-based custom builder built on personal relationships, community knowledge, and the belief that custom does not have to mean expensive. Mike and Marci Baumann started small, grew deliberately, and built a company known across the lakeshore corridor for truly listening to what buyers want and delivering it within their budget. Today Baumann builds across Holland, Zeeland, West Olive, Spring Lake, Georgetown Township/Hudsonville, and beyond — on their own community lots and on private acreage anywhere in their service area.
The Luke Bouman Real Estate Team works with Baumann buyers across every West Michigan community. We know the lots, the floor plans, and the build process — and we represent your interests independently from Baumann throughout every step of your purchase.
What Sets Baumann Building Apart
Baumann is not a volume production builder. They are intentionally smaller, more relationship-focused, and more customizable than the large-scale builders operating in West Michigan. Every single floor plan is 100% customizable — move walls, add bedrooms, expand the kitchen, change the layout. They have an in-house designer who can modify any existing plan or draw a completely custom home from scratch. And they will build on any lot — not just their own communities — from a parcel in another development to private acreage anywhere from South Haven to Spring Lake.

Baumann's Build-On-Your-Lot Program
One of Baumann's most compelling offerings for West Michigan buyers is their build-on-your-lot program. Baumann will build on any homesite — a lot in another builder's community, a parcel you already own, or private acreage anywhere from South Haven to Spring Lake. This opens up custom home building to buyers who have found land they love but aren't looking for a production community setting. Our team works with Baumann buyers on private lot builds regularly and can help you identify available land across the lakeshore corridor.
