One of Grand Rapids’ most well-known commercial construction firms continues to experience increased demand for high-end residential construction. As a result, Erhardt has recently hired James Balk to manage all residential projects. The firm has done residential construction in the past mainly for high net worth business owners, but there was never a formal vertical for this sector at Erhardt.
(Ada, MI) – West Michigan-based Erhardt Construction, a general contractor, construction management, and design/build firm, announced the hiring of new Residential Project Manager, James Balk. Balk brings 26 years of Residential Project Management experience, previously working for companies such as: Scott Christopher Homes, Dan Vos Construction, and his own firm, Balk Builders LLC, which he ran for nine years. With the addition of Balk, Erhardt will maximize the high-end residential construction experience for its clients.
“While we are typically recognized for our award-winning construction work in the commercial sector, we are quickly becoming a sought-after name for high-end residential work,” says Ryan Formsma, Vice President of Business Development. “Something that many people don’t know about Erhardt is that we’ve had our own in-house cabinetry shop for several years, as well as managed and continue to manage the construction of many multimillion-dollar residential properties throughout West Michigan. James is going to allow us to offer so much more to these clients as well as future clients and families looking to build their dream home.”
Balk will be managing projects such as transformative home renovations with custom furniture and cabinetry, as well as the new construction of high-end West Michigan homes.
Balk looks forward to helping make Erhardt a leader in the residential market and maximizing each client’s value. He explains, “One of the best ways [to maximize value] is to assemble an experienced building team that the client can trust to help navigate the emotional decisions that are inevitable in any new home project as well as working around clients busy family and work schedules.”
