OUR PROCESS
A simplified version of the important steps we take to ensure a quality, well thought home.
Introductory Meeting
Building a home or doing a renovation is very important. You need to feel confident that your builder can design and construct the home that captures the essence of your life style. The first meeting with Ary & Andrew is complementary in order to get to know one another, share ideas, learn more about the project, and the feasibility of the build.
Feasibility
Once we understand the scope of your project we will determine the feasibility. This will be based on the site conditions, size of project, style of house, personal expectations, and quality of finishes. We will also send you a questionnaire for more specific requirements and wishes. After the above is determined we will supply an Estimated Cost to Build which will determine the budget for the project.
Design
The design of the home is one the most important aspects of the building process. This is our opportunity to learn more about your lifestyle, hobbies, interests and passions. We encourage you to look through websites online, books and magazines to find inspiration. Once we have an understanding of how you’d like you home to function we can begin to design a layout, which leads to elevations and eventually the technical set of drawings. If more visual help is needed we can provide 3D renders.
Permit Submission and Approval
After the home is designed and all required plans and paperwork are acquired, they are then submitted to the town for approval. Depending on the location, township and design, the length of time for approval varies.
Construction
Once the design is approved we can begin to construct. This is when all the preliminary work begins to take shape. Throughout the process of the build we will communicate any updates and changes in project schedule, and will notify you if any selections need to be made. For our clients this is usually the most exciting and nerve racking experience, this is why communication is key. We ensure all our trades maintain the quality expected, while keeping our sites safe, clean and presentable throughout the project.
Walk Through
When the home is complete we do a Tarion PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection). This allows us and the home owner to walk through the interior and exterior of the home to ensure everything agreed upon is complete and satisfactory. This allows you and us to ask any questions that may arise. After the PDI is complete we hand over the keys and you are finally able to move into your home!
