Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

​​

Q: How much does it cost to build a custom home in Oakville or the GTA? A: Custom home costs vary based on size, finishes, and construction method. On average, expect $300-$500+ per square foot for high-quality construction. ICF builds may cost 5-10% more upfront but deliver significant long-term savings through energy efficiency. We provide detailed budget estimates during our consultation process.

​

Q: How long does it take to build a custom home in Ontario? A: A typical custom home takes 9-12 months from permit approval to occupancy. This includes 2-4 months for permitting, 6-8 months for construction, and 1 month for final inspections. We provide a detailed timeline during the design phase.

​

Q: Do I need to own land before starting the custom home process? A: Not necessarily. We can help you evaluate potential lots for suitability, zoning compliance, and development feasibility. However, most clients begin the design process once they've secured their land.

​

Q: What's the difference between ICF and traditional custom home construction? A: ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) uses foam blocks filled with concrete for superior energy efficiency, durability, and comfort. Traditional construction uses wood framing. ICF offers up to 60% lower energy costs, better sound insulation, and increased disaster resistance. We help you choose the best method for your goals.

​

Q: What areas do you serve? A: We specialize in custom home construction in Oakville, Caledon, Milton, Cambridge, and throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Contact us to confirm service availability for your location.

​

Q: How do you handle cost overruns and change orders? A: Transparency is our priority. We provide detailed budgets with contingency allowances and require written approval for any changes. Our structured process minimizes surprises and keeps your project on budget.

​

Q: Do you work with my architect or designer? A: Absolutely. We collaborate seamlessly with your chosen architect and designer. If you don't have one yet, we can recommend trusted partners who align with your style and budget.
