Since 2005 we have guided clients through custom and semi-custom builds across Southeast Wisconsin, with the Five Star Treatment at the center of how we work: direct attention, clear communication and guidance from the first conversation through final handoff.
What building in Franklin is like
Franklin is part of Milwaukee County, but much of it has a more open, suburban feel. Homeowners often appreciate being close to Milwaukee and major roads while still having space for a generous yard and a home with room to grow.
Building options here range from infill lots in established areas to larger parcels and newer neighborhoods. Each type of lot brings its own considerations, from how the home sits on the site to how the driveway and yard are laid out. We look at those details with you early so there are fewer surprises later.
Your land or a community homesite
If you already own land in Franklin, we start with the lot and design a home around it. If you are still searching, our communities page shows the neighborhoods Jewell Homes has developed nearby, including Apple Hill Estates in neighboring Muskego and our upcoming 5 Fields community in New Berlin.
Not sure whether to build or buy? Talk with us. We will walk through the trade-offs and help you decide what makes sense for your family.
How our process works in Franklin
Every project starts with a conversation about your goals, lot, timeline, budget, home style and must-haves. Our Foundation Meeting then reviews your vision, lot details and priorities so we are aligned before design and pricing.
Next we plan, price and prepare, working through site costs, allowances and design details. During construction we keep communication clear and consistent, and because Franklin is so close to our Muskego office, our team can be on site quickly.
Our home models are a helpful starting point for many Franklin clients, and every plan can be personalized. Model pricing does not include lot or site costs, which we review together for your homesite.

Choosing a plan for a Franklin lot
Franklin homesites can differ a lot in width, depth and how they slope, and that shapes which plans make sense. A wide, level lot might suit a sprawling ranch like The Kennedy or The Barran II, while a narrower site could point toward a two-story plan such as the Norah II.
Before you fall in love with a floor plan, we recommend talking with us about your lot. We will look at how the home would face the street, where the garage and driveway would go, and how outdoor living spaces could connect to the yard.
If you are deciding between models, our 3D walkthroughs let you move through several layouts room by room, which makes it easier to picture how each one would feel on your Franklin lot.
