Custom Home Building Process


Let's go through the six essential steps for building your own custom home:

Create Your Vision


Before construction begins, gather ideas and elements for your ideal home. Collect photos, tour completed homes, and consult with an interior designer. Outline preferences in architectural style, room function, design elements, product features, and lifestyle requirements.



Choose a Builder or Architect


You can select an architect first to help you get bids from builders or choose a custom home builder who may offer design services or help you find an architect. Seek recommendations from friends, realtors, lenders, and building associations to find these professionals.



Get References


Ask potential builders for references from clients, lenders, suppliers, and sub-contractors. Gather opinions on satisfaction, project management, timely payments, project managers and construction quality. Obtain sample contracts, construction schedules, and warranties.

Select a Location & Purchase Land


Find and buy suitable land for your custom home. Professionals can assist in evaluating potential building sites, assessing available utilities, and considering potential views.

Contribute to the Design


Collaborate extensively with a reliable custom home builder to analyze cost/benefit options and establish a budget. Finalize design and floor plan ideas, features, and product elements that align with your dream house.


There's no fixed time for these steps, and the duration depends on your preferences. Dream building, location selection, and home design may take months or even years.

Monitor Construction


You must decide on the design, products, and colours during construction. In a typical 12-month building schedule, significant buyer input is required for at least 9 of the 12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Long Is It To Build A Custom Home?

    A fully customized home typically takes around 10 months to 2 years. While a semi-custom home project could potentially be completed in 6-8 months with an excellent team and favourable conditions, it is prudent to anticipate a minimum of 10 months for the construction of a fully customized home.


  • How Do I Ensure Energy Efficiency in My Custom Home?

    Effective Insulation

    Proper insulation prevents drafts, maintains a consistent temperature, and enhances HVAC efficiency. Also, insulate hot water pipes and consider insulated doors for optimal temperature control.


    Tightly Seal Ductwork and Joints

    Well-sealed ductwork and joints prevent energy leaks and ensure proper ventilation. Poor sealing can lead to air leaks, energy loss, and increased HVAC workload.


    Choose Energy-Efficient Windows

    Opt for high-performance windows that seal out extreme temperatures, providing long-term savings on energy bills. Energy-efficient windows enhance insulation, reduce heat transfer, and offer noise reduction benefits.


    Include Ceiling Fans in Major Rooms

    Ceiling fans circulate air, aiding temperature regulation. They can be particularly useful in maintaining comfort while allowing a slight increase in the thermostat setting when using air conditioning.


    Consider Adding Solar Panels 

    Solar panels can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs over the years. Even partial reliance on solar power can lead to energy savings, and some months may result in a credit from the electricity provider.


    Pick the Right Window Treatments

    Select window treatments that enhance efficiency. For south-facing windows, choose options that filter light to reduce heat while using insulated draperies for north-facing windows to minimize cold air infiltration during winter.


    Upgrade Your Lighting

    Choose CFL or LED bulbs for energy savings over incandescent bulbs. Consider automatic or motion detection systems to control lighting based on usage patterns and enhance overall energy efficiency.


    Pay Attention to Caulking and Weather-Stripping

    Use durable caulk around door and window seams, seal gaps, and apply weather stripping. Attention to these details prevents air leaks, maintains airtightness, and contributes to energy efficiency.


    Install a Smart Thermostat

    Incorporate a smart thermostat into your home to efficiently manage heating and cooling systems. Smart thermostats optimize usage, reduce energy waste, and contribute to energy savings, providing comfort and efficiency.


    Partner With a Reputable Builder

    Choose an experienced and reputable custom home builder to ensure quality construction, proper installation, and effective sealing. An experienced builder will cover all aspects, preventing future issues and maximizing energy efficiency.

  • How Can I Make My Custom Home More Environmentally Friendly?

    To make your custom home more environmentally friendly, discuss with your builder about incorporating sustainable options. Focus on integrating energy-efficient appliances that adhere to environmentally conscious standards. 


    Consider the installation of solar panels to harness renewable energy, which can substantially reduce your reliance on traditional power sources. Additionally, explore eco-friendly building materials with minimal environmental impact. 


    Collaborating with your builder can create a more sustainable house that aligns with your environmental values.
