OT: Building new residential home
#16
#17
I am pretty far in the process, having dealt with the city on multiple occasions for permits and the banks for various products.
There is a lot of variation at all stages of the process so am hoping to get a couple reference points from a couple builders and is why I had started the thread.
I've seen people go both ways - create a very custom home that they can't hope to sell and have seen others stay more conservative and do quite well. I've also seen people create a custom cottage with glass windows so large that the truck needed to carry them couldn't make it up the road, requiring a boat which carried the truck (and windows) to the back of the cottage itself. So it is very easy to go crazy expensive.
If anyone is starting and needs some advice getting up to the building stage. Feel free to PM me.

I'm a developer. Residential and commercial.
We typically do high end all over the GTA.
My partner is actually an architect as well, so we can truly do a complete project from design to completion.
If I can be of assistance let me know.

My family had Modular Home Additions do some work for us but on the commercial side. Residential is 95% of their business.
A+ work and will use them for residential sooner or later.
