Why Build New?

Building a custom home means designing every detail around your lifestyle — no compromises, no renovations, no limitations of someone else's layout. From lot to lockbox, it's yours from day one.

New builds meet the latest Ontario Building Code — superior insulation, HVAC, and energy performance. No inherited issues, no outdated wiring, no settling foundations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lot requirements depend on zoning — we evaluate frontage, depth, coverage ratios, and setbacks during our initial site analysis. We build on standard suburban lots, narrow urban infill sites, and severed parcels.

Typical timelines are 12–18 months from design kickoff to move-in. Construction itself usually takes 8–14 months after permits are issued.

Most clients use a construction mortgage, which releases funds in stages as construction milestones are met. We can recommend experienced mortgage brokers who specialize in new builds.

Complete freedom within building code and zoning constraints. You choose the architectural style, floor plan, materials, finishes, and features. We guide you through every decision.

We manage demolition permits and removal as part of the project scope. Demolition typically takes 1–2 weeks before site preparation begins.

All our new builds meet or exceed current Ontario Building Code energy requirements. We offer upgrades including spray foam insulation, triple-pane windows, HRV systems, and solar-ready infrastructure.
