## About
Building your vision. To us, true custom design means every one of our homes starts with a blank sheet. No templates and no floor plans. We fill that sheet with your ideas, needs and preferences to build out a vision that’s uniquely you. Then, we work side-by-side with you to refine your vision into a home you can be proud of and will last for generations. Great houses don’t just happen. They come from good listening and smart building. We’ll work with you to make sure you understand where we’re at in the process, and give you ample opportunities to make sure we’re moving in the right direction. After all, it’s your vision. We just bring it to life.

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemized quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
