Why McDonald Construction excels in existing neighborhoods.
When you dream of a new home, you might envision a sprawling new development. But what if your heart is set on an established neighborhood, a specific school district, or even a cherished lakefront property?
This is where the unique expertise of McDonald Construction truly shines. Building new homes in existing neighborhoods, especially on tear-down sites, isn’t just about construction; it’s about extensive coordination, thoughtful engagement, and a deep understanding of complex regulations.
McDonald clients benefit from decades of experience and strong relationships with key stakeholders. These include Better Futures MN, known for socially responsible deconstruction of existing homes, and Tradition Mortgage, experts in infill construction financing.

“Every city’s different, every lot is different,” explains Dave Remick, President of McDonald Construction Partners, highlighting the intricate dance involved in these projects. Unlike building on a blank slate, new construction in an established area requires a meticulous approach.
There is a lot more coordination that goes in place with building in an existing neighborhood on a tear-down site.
This includes navigating city regulations, zoning laws, and infrastructure connections – a process McDonald Construction has perfected.
A key differentiator for McDonald Construction is their “different bedside manner” when working within established communities. They understand that a construction project can be a disruption to neighbors, and they strive to minimize impact and maintain positive relationships. Their goal is for neighbors to ultimately say, “Well, that wasn’t so bad.” This considerate approach ensures that homeowners not only get their dream home but also remain on good terms with their new community.
Furthermore, McDonald Construction offers a distinct advantage with its integrated services. They incorporate both in-house architecture and in-house interior design, which streamlines the decision-making process for clients. Instead of being overwhelmed by unlimited choices, clients benefit from a curated selection tailored to their vision.
A smooth building journey.
Beyond the build, McDonald Construction prioritizes long-term satisfaction. They have “dedicated construction managers that are on site and managing the process from start to finish,” ensuring a smooth journey for the homeowner. Even after move-in, their commitment continues with a “dedicated individual who is our follow-up and customer support and customer service provider.” This ensures any post-move-in needs are addressed quickly, providing peace of mind about a significant investment.
