AVB Our Passion: creating great places to live, work, & learn. Countless builders promote their values, creativity, and responsiveness. AVB doesn’t just talk.

Our team thrives using 5 Core Values: do the right thing, be client-focused, have a positive attitude, be proud of what we do & be a team player. Anywhere you turn, it seems, you can find a construction firm that claims to be flexible, hardworking and easy to get along with. For AVB, such qualities aren’t mere claims. They’re as real as the concrete and wood, the mortar and brick of each home, com

munity and commercial facility we build. AVB listens. AVB sweats every detail. And once construction is finished, AVB commits –– to ongoing service that simply doesn’t end. From our beginnings over 30 years ago, AVB has been passionate about exceeding expectations, about getting every job done right, and then just a little better. Dependable, honest, and committed, AVB people talk with our design instincts, our blueprints and our exceptional project management skills. AVB has become more than just another builder. We are a team of collaborators who have taken a process with a reputation for being difficult, and transformed it into something that’s smart, easy, and even enjoyable. We are innovators in green-building who are committed to leading the way in developing sustainable practices in design, construction –– and in the way we run our business. We are constantly listening and thinking, sharing expertise and knowledge and best practices. We are craftsmen who explore the unique innovations of two distinctively different worlds –– of residential construction and commercial –– and find ways to bring those worlds together, one to enhance the other. We are people who put our heads together to devise solutions and to create more than another cookie cutter home or shoebox building. Something new. Something fresh. Something that fits your idea of the ideal place to live and work. All at a level of value that optimizes your investment. Indeed, adding value is in every step of the AVB process. You see it in the beautiful communities that dot the local landscape. In Hidden Lake and Homestead, Barrington Shores and Oakland Hills. In high-visibility, beautiful-yet-functional commercial buildings –– from corporate headquarters to university housing ––and dozens of other projects, you see the unmistakable mark of superior planning, consultation, and craftsmanship. But there’s something you don’t see, as well. The quiet understanding that AVB is always there. Active in the community. Ready to respond with answers and service long after construction is finished. In each home. In each office and room and facility. Our customers know, AVB is different. AVB is better. AVB is the one builder that is passionate about making not just living spaces, but great places to live and do business and thrive. With AVB, there are no empty claims and promises. No false expectations. Just hard work. Real help. And results. This is AVB.

It was a pleasure hosting Girls Build Kalamazoo at Mt. Zion Baptist Church Legacy Senior Living today. Our team members Rebecca, Doug, and Jeremy, along with Hayward from Abonmarche led the tour and shared insights on everything from thermal efficiency to the requirements for LEED certification. We heard lots of great questions throughout the visit and enjoyed the opportunity to introduce the group to careers in construction. Thank you for spending part of your day with us!

After eight years of planning and collaboration, Riverbend at Capital is officially underway!

Yesterday's groundbreaking was a celebration of both progress and partnership, marking the start of a transformative project that will bring affordable and workforce housing, community services, and quality early childhood learning opportunities to Battle Creek families.

We're excited to see this vision come to life and the impact it will have on the community for years to come.

Did you know we spend over half of our lives in our homes? 🏡 It’s our safe place. The place where we should feel the most comfortable. The place you look forward to coming back to after a long day.

That’s why your home should feel completely personal to you.

Building a custom home is about so much more than just the aesthetic. While the design and finishes matter, it’s also about creating a home that fits the way you live, function, and spend time together as a family.

Our team is here to guide you through the process and help create a custom home that not only looks beautiful, but truly makes sense for your lifestyle.
