Project Management for Custom Home Builders in Toronto

A custom home is different from a regular home in the flexibility and quality that is offered to the owner. Regular homes are limited in options and availability. There may be few options to select the exterior appearance, floor plans, interior finishes etc. There will also be limitations on structural, electrical, plumbing changes etc.

Meanwhile, custom homes have endless possibilities when it comes to the exterior, designing floor plan layouts and everything in between. So how do you begin? Start by discussing with a professional custom home builder to bring your custom home to life.

Your custom home builder decision will weigh incredibly heavily on the outcome of your housing project, and as such, it’s critical that you spend time choosing the right one. The right builder will provide you with insights, guidance, and professional stability. From phone interviews, in person meetings, and job site visits, this will give you a better understanding of the workmanship of the builder.
Read on to learn more about how to choose the right custom home builder.

In the first consultation, we work with you to understand your dream home and vision. The next step is to look for the ideal lot. Once we understand what the scope of work is, we can provide an estimated cost. If we’re a good match, we move on to the architectural and designing stages with our team, then you’ll proceed to select finishing materials. Once that’s done, we proceed to the construction phase until the project is complete. Before we deliver the home, it will be nice and tidy for you to move in.

All our work comes with a standard 5-year warranty and is insured. Our tradesmen are fully licensed and registered with WSIB.

Building a custom home is unique and tailored to each individual’s vision in mind, therefore each project may have a different time period to complete. For instance, a 5,000 sqft home will take approx. 1 year to complete from the day we receive the building permits.

Each project is unique and pricing comes from various factors. Our team will work with you to get the most accurate cost estimate for your new home build. We have a large network of suppliers where you’ll receive our trade discount for the most competitive prices for materials and finishes.

Building a new custom home is not necessarily better than a full renovation. It depends on your lifestyle and the intended use. When it comes to a full renovation, consider the history of the home, if there are any structural or major damages, if you have access to old blueprints, and think about the resale value of the neighbourhood. On the other hand, there are benefits to home renovations such as the sentimental value, the resale value, and not needing to move.

When it comes to new custom homes, some of the benefits to consider are increasing space, having everything new and under warranty, less maintenance, and more options to choose the layout and floor plan that suits your lifestyle.

Whether you’re looking for a new custom home or a full renovation, it’s best to consult with a professional to help guide you and provide a better understanding of both processes.
