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.

Looking back on the transformation of Mattawan Consolidated School's Early Childhood Education Center renovation completed in 2021. These before-and-after photos are a reminder of how renovations can completely reshape a space and create an environment that feels welcoming, bright, and built for the students and staff who use it every day!

There’s lots going on in these Kalamazoo neighborhoods! 🔨🏡

The Enclave currently has 1 available home that is still under construction. Walden Woods also has 3 available homes currently under construction.

Meet Nolan! 👋 He is a New Home Consultant in a few AVB's neighborhoods including the Enclave, Walden Woods, and The Beachwoods. He spends a lot of time getting to know his buyers throughout the process, so we thought we’d take a minute to get to know him too.

🏡 His favorite AVB floorplan is the Fenton because a 2-story family room and main floor primary is hard to beat.
🌳 The AVB neighborhood he could see himself living in would be the Beachwoods because of the big homesites and the country feel without the drive.
🎶 His current favorite song is "You Found Yours" by Luke Combs.
📺 He is currently binge watching Paradise and one of his all time favorite movies is Step Brothers.
☀️ If he had to choose one season year-round, it would be summer because who doesn’t love a lake day!

Earlier this week we welcomed Cody to the team as our new Project Engineer. We are excited to have him on board!
