About Us
The Team:
Todd was born into in the construction industry and has lived it all his life. His Father, Earl D Bennett, was a major developer and builder in the Midland area starting in 1957. Bennett Construction proved influential in the growth of Midland and modernization of Midland architecture. After his fathers passing, Todd formed Bennett Development and followed in his father's foot steps, developing major subdivisions with custom homes and creating unique commercial sites in the region. Todd has been the owner and operator of a number of businesses/franchises over the years, enabling his understanding of both sides of any project. Custom Homes were always a major part of the company, including models built in some of Midland's most prestigious subdivisions. He also had other builds on Houghton Lake and on the Saginaw Bay. Todd has spent a number of years vacationing in the Traverse City area with his wife and two children. It was a natural fit when the opportunity came to continue building homes in the Traverse City area. Todd holds a Brokers License in Real Estate and of course a Builders license. Todd brings a special rapport with all he encounters, creating an ease to any project. He looks forward to offering a quality building experience for his clients. Todd's experience and expertise will help to create a one of a kind dream home for you and your family.
Sheila Mesler began working for Todd’s parents, Earl and Esther in one of their commercial businesses. In 1997, Sheila began to work in the Construction office and began working alongside Todd. Sheila worked on land development of subdivisions, as well as managing numerous projects. She also collaborated with clients in the creation and design choices for their homes. Working in the construction field led Sheila into obtaining her Builders License in 2004. She has also ventured out on her own and constructed homes herself. In late 2013, Sheila began working for another large developer in the region. She managed projects which involved her directly with clients and working to meet deadlines, including a redevelopment site in old town Saginaw that placed high end condos on the river. Sheila and her family rented a home in the Interlocken area for a number of years and love the area. Married for 35 years with. 23 year old son, Sheila is excited to be part of this growing area.
