Making of a Homemade Floor Plan (PT. 5)

By Paul Bielinski, CEO

Much like our homemade floor plans, every single Bielinski Neighborhood is planned and named right here in our offices. But the naming process is a little different with our neighborhoods than our homes. Here’s how we do it.


THE INSPIRATION

It’d be easy to make up whatever name we wanted, but the wrong name would always feel off to us and probably to the residents as well. We believe it’s important to keep the name of the neighborhood rooted in the history and personality of the area.
 
When naming a new Bielinski Neighborhood, our biggest areas of inspiration are usually the local geography and ecology. Many of our neighborhood names are feature native plant species, geographic landmarks, or defining terrain features. Sometimes the land was previously owned by a well-known family or the neighborhood has an existing street running through it. In those cases, we try to incorporate those aspects with the new name.
 

THE PROCESS

Naming a neighborhood, like naming a floor plan, isn’t always a linear process. There’s no flow chart or rule book to follow. It’s a casual and organic process that happens over time. Sometimes an upcoming neighborhood will be renamed two or three times before we settle on its final name.
 
Keeping the process flexible allows for creativity and also keeps us from forcing a “just okay” name onto a neighborhood where our residents might be spending the rest of their lives.
 
A neighborhood’s name might seem shallow or unimportant, but the wrong name can make the most wonderful neighborhood unappealing to live in. It’s the same philosophy that we’ve always had. We spend time making every aspect of home building right for the customers, even the neighborhood names. And, yes, we know the perfect neighborhood name won’t necessarily be the main selling point on a Bielinski home, but it makes the customer experience better, so we’re going to take it seriously.

  • When we rightsized from our home of 43 years to a Bielinski Condo in Bay Pointe, our New Home Consultant answered all of our questions and communicated with us the entire way. We’re fully enjoying our beautiful new home and the condo community.
    John and Jean Jones
  • I’ve been so impressed and completely satisfied with the entire Bielinski building experience. From the initial sale and throughout the construction process I have appreciated Bielinski’s professionalism, craftsmanship, and follow-through.
    Heidi Hamilton
  • We are extremely happy with our new Bielinski Condo. It’s well-built and full of all the features we wanted in our home.
    Deborah and Brian Blackney
  • We chose Bielinski because they are a family-owned business and have been building in the Pewaukee area for a long time. The Clemont floor plan is just perfect for all of our family events and Packer parties.
    Bob and Darla Landgren
  • We couldn’t be happier with our new home! The entire process was fantastic. Everyone was so responsive and quick to help. Bielinski’s knowledge of the industry was invaluable. We recommend Bielinski to anyone looking for their next home.
    Mike and Kristin Smith
  • We had a really good experience with Bielinski from start to finish. Everyone was responsive and reliable. Now we are enjoying life in our new home.
    Peter Holzwart and Therese Gaynor-Holzwart
  • Once I got settled in, I knew I was exactly where I belong. Without Bielinski’s knowledge and communication, I would still be questioning whether I should build at all. Thanks to the entire team that made this all possible.

  • We have just purchased our third Bielinski Home in the last 22 years, a Bielinski condo. We have found that Bielinski Homes builds quality homes for fair prices. The craftsmanship of construction and finishing is exceptional, plus they make the buying and building process easy with great customer experience. We would strongly recommend a Bielinski Home.
    Jerald and Jeanne Filut
  • We absolutely loved working with Bielinski Homes — the kindness and knowledge they shared sold us on wanting to move to our new neighborhood. We were worried about moving. But we had no doubts in our minds after speaking with our New Home Consultant about the community and the neighbors. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and new neighborhood.
