PLACES OF PERMANENCE IN A WORLD OF CONSTANT FLUX.

The Sandhill takes its name from the glacial erratics deposited throughout Southeast Michigan 12,000 years ago. As the ice retreated, it left behind massive landforms of sand, gravel, and stone—elevated vantage points that offer perspective over the surrounding marshes and forests.

We design and build with that same sense of permanence. For us, a home is a place of retreat, gathering, and perspective. Combining more than two decades of construction experience with an integrated design approach, we use premium materials and uncompromising craftsmanship to create client-responsive spaces built to endure.

Ben

With over 20 years spent perfecting his craft on jobsites, Benjamin understands that a well-built space is all about execution, integrity, and detail. He holds two writing degrees, including an MFA, which informs his methodical, highly organized approach to project management and client communication. In 2016, Benjamin founded The Sandhill with a clear mission: to build custom, client-responsive spaces while redefining the construction experience to be transparent, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable. As Lead General Contractor, he remains actively onsite from design to completion—meticulously editing every detail of the build to ensure the final reality matches the vision. And he really likes dogs.
