List of phases

How we work

Phase One: Pre-construction planning

• Dreaming of a custom-built home? We’re excited to guide you through the entire pre-construction planning process. From understanding local zoning laws to offering personalized advice, we’ll ensure your new home perfectly suits your land and lifestyle. Let’s bring your vision to life, one step at a time.

Phase Two: Design and approvals

The design phase is an exciting journey where you’ll collaborate with our talented professionals to bring your dream home to life. We’ll help you create a personalized floor plan, design the perfect home size, select colours, decide on exterior siding materials, and refine all the finishing details, ensuring every innovative idea of yours is realized. Once your plans are finalized, we handle the submission to the local municipality for permit approval. With permits in hand, we break ground, marking the thrilling start of constructing your custom home, bringing you one step closer to living in your dream space.

Phase Three: Demolition and Foundation

With the land excavated and prepped, our surveyors precisely stake out your custom home’s dimensions. The foundation footings and walls are then carefully constructed and poured, ensuring a solid base for your dream home.

Phase Four: Framing

The framing phase is crucial in custom home construction, as it involves creating the “skeleton” of your new home, including walls, basement, roof structure, door frames, windows, and exterior sheathing. During this stage, rough-ins for essential services like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are also completed. Rough-ins refer to the installation of pipes, wires, and ducts behind the walls before finishing touches like switches and covers are added.

Phase Five: The home stretch!

Welcome to the most thrilling phase of custom home construction! This is where the magic happens. Inside and out, our team is hard at work, transforming your vision into reality. Drywall is going up, cabinets are being installed, and the exterior siding and landscaping are coming together beautifully. It’s an exciting and bustling time, as we put the finishing touches on your dream home.

Phase Six: Down to the details

It’s all about those final touches! At this stage, we meticulously address every detail to ensure your custom home is handed over in flawless condition. We leave no stone unturned and no area unnoticed – right down to that tiny speck of dust in the corner of the cabinet. Your dream home deserves nothing less than perfection.
