Turning Heads, Capturing Hearts
A custom home is a uniquely tailored space, a free-standing work of art with its fine details, subtle touches, elegant finishes and graceful structures. Representing the union of design and vision, it is the creation of an exclusive, one-of-a-kind dream space.
It Begins With An Idea
Show us your ideas, your inspirations, your dreams. We’ll pore over wish lists and online pins together and take notes. It’s here where we discover why certain finishes are needed or the function behind a certain room. We’ll ask you about your timelines and your expectations.
Refining The Vision
Architectural drawings get underway, helping to refine the vision you have of your custom home. We work closely with you to help guide you through this phase, making suggestions and recommendations as we go along while giving you room to expand or change your plans.
A Work Of Art Takes Shape
Working hand in hand with the architect, our designer adds depth, detail and definition to your home’s vision. From there, you’ll move into space planning which is where we get a better understanding of your intended use for each room while also reviewing layouts and finishes.
Aligning The Vision
With a senior project manager and other critical team members on hand to assist, we’ll present you with final designs so you can see how your vision has been brought to life. We can revise as needed to further align with your plans while providing details on projected timelines.
From The Ground Up
You are updated on all activities thanks to our dedicated team of designers and project managers, who also ensure your custom home build stays on track. We’ll let you know if any issues arise and we invite you to follow along with real time updates through our online portal.

FAQs
What is the difference between a custom home and a production home?
A production home is a home sold with a piece of property that is mass produced and repeatedly used throughout neighbourhoods. The size of the home and the floor plans are generally set while the only thing you customize are the finishes. A custom home is a uniquely tailored space designed specifically to meet your lifestyle requirements and built on property you have purchased.
Why are custom homes more expensive than production homes?
The expense of a custom home is based on a number of factors, including the total square footage; using specialized services like architects and designers; having a custom builder manage the project; the extent of the labour needed (trades); the different materials used; and the level of finishes that are chosen.
What is the cost per square foot to build a custom home?
The cost will vary depending on finishes but on average we see homes from $350/sf and upwards.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
If you already have a piece of property available to build on, the design and prep phase is about two to three months. (This includes creating the floor plans, exterior elevations, and construction drawings.) It takes another two to three months to receive a permit from the municipality that you’re building in. The actual construction phase is roughly eight months to one year, depending on the size of the home.
Who organizes the project?
It is important to hire a building company that has experience with custom homes. There are many moving parts and resources that need to be organized in order for your project to run smoothly. A well-run project will keep you on time and on budget while ensuring your custom home is built to your specifications without sacrificing quality.
What do I need to know before I purchase a piece of property for my custom home?
You should understand what restrictions (if any) come with your lot. Bylaws, zoning and conservation are determining factors that dictate what you are allowed to build on your property. We can help you evaluate those factors, which can save significant cost, stress and anxiety later on.
