Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to build a custom home?

What is included in your custom home pricing?

Our pricing includes materials, labour, mechanical systems, finish selections, GST and a detailed scope of the work. Before construction starts, we provide a clear breakdown so you understand exactly what is included and what optional upgrades are available. Those upgrades are subject to additional charges.

How do change orders work during construction?

If you want to change a finish or feature, we review the cost and timeline impact before moving ahead. This helps you make informed decisions and prevents unexpected fees or delays.There is a fee for any change order incurred.

Can clients visit the construction site while the home is being built?

Yes, site visits can be scheduled during safe phases of construction. We walk you through progress updates, milestones, and upcoming steps so you feel confident and involved throughout the build.

These are critical relationships that help us ensure the construction quality is held to the highest standards.
