What Makes a Custom Home Builder Worth Trusting With a $750K+ Project?
Not every contractor who calls themselves a custom home builder has the team, the experience, or the attention to detail to deliver on that promise at a high price point. We do.
Innovative Building & Design has built custom homes ranging from $750K to over $1.5M in the Blaine area — with architect referrals, in-house tradespeople, and a collaborative process that keeps you informed and in control at every stage. We work on a cost-plus or bid basis depending on your project, so you always know where your money is going.
We’re not a production builder. We’re not running 50 homes at once. When we take on your project, it gets our full attention.
Already Have Land or Looking for a Lot in Blaine or the North Metro?
We specialize in building custom homes on private lots and acreage throughout Blaine, Oak Grove, East Bethel, Ham Lake, Andover, Ramsey, and surrounding Minnesota communities. Whether you already own land or are still looking for the right property, we can help guide the process from design through final construction.
One Builder. Every Trade. No Coordination Headaches.
Building a custom home means managing a lot of moving parts — framing, roofing, siding, windows, electrical, plumbing, finish carpentry, and more. Most builders subcontract every trade and leave you hoping everyone shows up and communicates.
Innovative Building & Design is a full-service builder with in-house tradespeople across the key disciplines. That means tighter quality control, better communication, and a finished product that reflects one consistent standard of craftsmanship throughout.
