Calumet County Forest Junction Search

Carlson Homes, a division of Carlson Lumber Company, is located in Forest Junction, Wisconsin, and is Calumet County's foremost "Owner Built Home" company. Specializing in making your dream of owning a high quality home come true! And, you participate in the building process! Carlson Lumber also builds homes for folks who prefer not to pound nails!

Carlson Lumber Co is located in Forest Junction WI , and since its beginning in 1998, has assisted General Contractors as well as individual owners in the design and supply of quality custom homes. However...rising costs of labor and other overhead have put the cost of a conventional “general contracted home” out of reach for many potential homeowners!

Carlson Homes (a division of Carlson Lumber Co.) has developed a unique program called “Owner Built Homes” which makes it possible for the property owner to contract their own project, eliminating the general contractor and ultimately saving thousands.

The end result makes your dream home a reality, plus creates an overwhelming source of pride and achievement for you...the new homeowner.

This program is available in the Wisconsin counties surrounding the City of Forest Junction, Wisconsin, and usually is restricted to the counties of Calumet, Manitowoc, Brown and Outagamie. Projects located outside of these Wisconsin counties are not usually cost effective for Carlson Lumber and can be considered only under special circumstances. See the included map for a view of the area for our major projects and for the location of Forest Junction.

Owner Built or “Construction Management” is a concept that has been very successful in the Commercial building industry for years. Simply put, it is a program that allows the owner to work closely with the design, bidding, actual construction, and bill payment for the new custom home.

A “Project Manager” is hired to guide and assist the owner through all phases of the project. The Project Manager also performs duties such as site layout, subcontractor scheduling, periodic jobsite inspection, preparing and submitting draw payments, and unlimited consulting with the owners.

The savings realized by replacing the general contractor with the Owner Built System and Project Manager can be used either to lower the total cost of the project or to upgrade products and features that would not have been possible before.

The new Millennium has brought with it a new generation of homeowners. Many people today not only want to know where every board is nailed and every dollar spent, but also like to get “hands on” with

the actual construction process. It is not uncommon today for the owners to do their own painting and staining, roofing, siding, etc. Other builders have offered versions of a “build-along” program, but unfortunately did not reduce the cost of the project, nor deliver substantial savings to the homeowner!

Carlson Homes puts full market value on any duties performed by the owners!...and are there to give pointers along the way. Carlson Homes has a complete team of subcontractors, each of them specialists in their own field. A well-established relationship helps to assure quality workmanship as well as an efficient, delay-free project schedule.

Carlson Homes even encourages owners to incorporate other subcontractors that they may be acquainted with.

Perhaps the most difficult task in home construction today is the “Paperwork”! Mortgage Lenders and Title Companies have become very stringent in their requirements for both qualifying for a loan and dispersal of funds. Most institutions are reluctant to lend money to an individual unless they are associated with a “Supervising Professional”. Carlson Homes easily meets that criteria! In fact, most lending organizations have already come to know Carlson Homes as the area's foremost Project Management firm.

Carlson Homes will provide all necessary paperwork i.e. blueprints, cost breakdown, building specifications, and spend-down schedules. Carlson Homes will also gather all bills, provide compliance for all building inspections, submit periodic bank draws, and collect lien waivers for partial payments

with bare ground!

Many families already have their initial investment...an older house that can be used as the foundation for a new home.
