What to Look for in a Custom Home Builder

Building a new house is a significant financial investment and you need to ensure that you’re partnering with a reputable home builder. When choosing a builder, make sure they are a full-service, licensed company with a solid reputation for building in your area.

There are countless steps required to build a custom home. From purchasing a vacant lot or demolishing an existing structure on an infill property, to applying for the right permits and choosing finishing details. Your custom home builder should be able to help with every step of the process and answer any and all of your questions.

It’s also important that the custom home builder you’re considering working with is licensed. It’s important to note that all Ontario custom home builders must be registered with Tarion to build and sell homes legally in Ontario. When researching builders, make sure you ask if they are registered and in good standing, with Tarion.

You also want to look at the homes the builder has completed in the past. They should be able to provide a portfolio or schedule a tour if they’re working on—or have recently completed—a build. Ideally, you’ll want to see homes that they’ve worked on in the neighbourhood you want to build in.
