Green Building Companies in Indianapolis

“I had an outstanding experience working with Dan McLaughlin, owner of Dwelling Indy, on my custom home in Indianapolis. This was my first time building a house, and after hearing so many warnings about how stressful the process could be, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Thanks to Dan, the experience was genuinely positive and far less stressful than I had imagined. I originally reached out to several builders through Houzz, and Dan immediately stood out. He was the only one who took the time to meet me in person at the empty lot to talk through my vision and goals. While others focused mainly on budget numbers over email or phone, Dan focused on understanding what I wanted to build, setting the tone for the entire project. From design through construction, Dan was a true partner every step of the way. His many years of experience and strong local connections were evident throughout the process. He worked seamlessly with my bank, stayed on schedule, was consistently responsive, and never compromised on quality. Costs were accurately estimated and the build was completed within the contracted timeline. Even outside feedback reinforced how well-run the project was. Neighbors commented on how respectful and tidy his crew was, and the bank inspector specifically noted how clean, organized, and well-managed the site was. Beyond being an excellent builder, Dan is simply a kind, honest, and trustworthy person. I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with him and would wholeheartedly recommend Dwelling Indy to anyone considering building a home.”

“The house building experience was totally satisfying. We were stepped through the design and build process with care and professionalism. Some of our favorite features in the multi-story home include single level living, a spacious floor plan, a custom pantry and a zero threshold shower. The attention to detail provides us with a house of our dreams.”

“We hired Steve Green to build a two-story addition to our old Meridian Kessler house. His crew removed an outdated family room and replaced it with a large family room, mudroom and 3-piece bathroom on the first floor as well as a second floor master bedroom suite and laundry room. The project called for installing 3 full bathrooms. A couple with no children living at home, we remained in the house for the 7-8 month renovation. While we don't miss the early morning arrivals, we enjoyed getting to know the various framers, electricians, plumbers, painters, tilers, especially appreciating the quality of the carpentry. From the very first day of taping off doors and pass-thrus in prep for the noise and dust, it was Steve Green who talked about the communication between us that would keep things on track. Steve is organized, attentive to our questions and occasional frustration, respected by his workers, and basically friendly which is no small asset with a project this size. We are a year into this clean, quiet, private, truly glorious space and sometimes we even miss the people who made it that way!”
