Adaptive Building Solutions

Adaptive Building Solutions is a sustainable green building company based in Ann Arbor. Since 2006, we have proudly served Washtenaw County and surrounding communities, combining innovative building science with exceptional craftsmanship to create healthy, high-performance homes. Husband-and-wife team Andrea and Mike Mahon, believe that true green building begins with energy efficiency, durability, occupant well-being, and environmental responsibility.

Our mission is to exceed customer expectations by delivering exceptional craftsmanship and high-performance building solutions while maintaining a thoughtful, sustainable approach throughout every stage of the construction process. We believe every project should reduce its environmental impact through energy-efficient design, durable high-quality materials, and proven building science principles that enhance comfort, performance, and long-term value.

Whether renovating an existing home or building new, our methods will achieve a high-performance, airtight building envelope that maximizes energy efficiency, durability, and indoor comfort—regardless of architectural style.

As more homeowners rethink how homes should be built, operated, and lived in, Adaptive Building Solutions remains committed to being part of the solution. We continuously research and implement advancements in sustainable building technology, helping our clients make informed decisions while creating homes that are healthier for their families and more responsible for the environment.

Our dedication to excellence has earned regional and national recognition. In 2019, we received the West Michigan U.S. Green Building Council Leadership Award for Best Green Certified Home for the Preissner Passive House. In 2023, the U.S. Green Building Council recognized The 713 Project: For the Journey (LEED Gold) as a Top 3 Finalist worldwide for Outstanding Single-Family Project.

At Adaptive Building Solutions, our goal is simple: to build beautiful, healthy, high-performing homes that balance luxury, comfort, environmental stewardship, and lasting value for generations to come.

Testimonials

Mike was fantastic, from start to finish. He worked tirelessly with my wife and I (we are not the easiest people to work with), sharing his ideas, integrating them with ours, and providing a team of skilled artisans (including himself and a very skilled, reasonably priced architect), creating and constructing the design that gave form to our thoughts and building a home that exceeded our expectations. This was a challenging project, as it incorporated a solar energy source, radiant heat (excellent, especially for tiled floors), geothermal heating and cooling, a limestone exterior, and a basement with a rather high ceiling. We are pleased to be able to provide the highest recommendation for Mike.

Mike and Andrea were great to work with. This was our first experience (and hopefully last) with a major renovation project. It was daunting at the beginning and a lot of work throughout the project, but after all was completed, we're so happy with the result. Mike and Andrea were very responsive to any questions/concerns, and truly had our best interest in mind. With every project there are ups and downs, especially one on this scale. The Adaptive Building team handled everything with class, on budget and on time. We really couldn't have asked for more.
