Some Challenging Case Histories

From the archives of Moraine Builders

New Home

A customer who was wheelchair bound wished to design and build a home that was totally wheelchair accessible.

  • We worked closely with the customer to receive their input as to how they wanted the floor plan to be laid out and designed the home accordingly.
    • Including sinks, bathroom showers, cabinets, doorways, garage access, ramps, etc….
  • The home was not only designed to meet the customer’s wishes, but was also fully compliant with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards.

We built the home per the customer’s wishes and they are enjoying the much improved accessibility of the new home.

New Home

Customer wished to tear down their old home and build a new home on a small lot outside the municipality’s limits.

  • In order to be connected to the municipal sewer and water system, the lot would have to be annexed to the municipality.
  • We applied for the necessary annexation to the municipality and the variances for the building permit for the customer.
  • We applied to the Wisconsin department of Administration for an annexation approval.
  • We attended the village planning commission and the village board meeting with the customer to present the case for annexation and the necessary variances to place the new home on the lot.
    • Variances approved
    • Annexation approved

We designed and built the customer’s home per the variance requirements and were able to connect to the municipality’s sewer and water system.
