Wilson Way builds in Louisville.
All neighborhoods, all eras, all budgets.
Why Louisville homes are different.
Louisville Metro covers everything from Old Louisville Victorians to Norton Commons new builds.
Wilson Way context: St. Matthews-area 1960s ranch kitchen gut (2025), Germantown shotgun full-home (2024), Highlands bungalow second-story addition (2024), Butchertown shotgun restoration (2025). Louisville is the 28th-largest city in the US. As a consolidated metro with Jefferson County, building permits go through Louisville Metro Government, not a separate city office. Metro processes most residential permits in 10-15 business days. Inspection requests must go through the Metro portal — they do not accept phone scheduling. The biggest permit cost difference vs surrounding counties: Louisville Metro charges based on project valuation, while Oldham and Shelby counties use flat fees. Permits: Louisville Metro Department of Codes & Regulations at 444 S. 5th Street.
We have been building in Louisville for years. We know the permitting office, the inspectors, the local supply yards, and the trades. That means faster timelines, fewer surprises, and better outcomes for your project.

What Louisville projects typically need.
Wilson Way pulls all required permits and schedules all inspections. We handle Jefferson County (KY), Bullitt County, Oldham County, Shelby County, Spencer County, and Floyd County (IN). For Louisville, here is what to expect:
- Building permits: required for any structural, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work.
- Cost: typically 0.5%-1% of project value, paid by Wilson Way (rolled into the contract).
- Timeline: 2-4 weeks from permit application to permit issued, depending on the county.
- Inspections: typically 3-5 inspections per project (footing, framing, rough-in, final).
- HOA: if your neighborhood has one, we will handle the architectural review process too.
