What to Expect

Buying a new home is exciting! Here are a few valuable notes about what to expect in...

Planning and Construction

If you're like most homebuyers, you have ideas for making your house uniquely yours; we have built our reputation on improving our homes from suggestions made by purchasers like you.

You can expect the planning and construction process for your new home to take approximately 5 months, depending on the time of year and the availability of sub-contractors.

Making Decorating Choices

Selecting the finishing touches that make your new home unique is important and exciting. Making those choices within the timeframe requested will ensure that construction flows smoothly to the desired closing date.

Your Pre-Delivery Inspection

About one week before your house closes, we will invite you to a Pre-Delivery Inspection. This walk through your new home will allow you to determine that we have built the house that you ordered, complete with all the extras or upgrades and finishing touches that we agreed upon.

Understanding Your Warranty Coverage

Upon closing, we will register your home with Tarion Warranty Corporation (formerly known as the "Ontario New Home Warranty Program") and provide you with a booklet outlining your warranty coverage. The booklet covers our responsibility in administering the warranty as well as your responsibilities as a program member. Please read it carefully!

Maintaining Your New Home

As your builder, we are responsible for any defects in craftsmanship that occur in your home during the first year; as a new home owner, you are responsible for maintaining your house's mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

Not sure where to begin? To help, we will provide you with the "Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Homeowner's Manual". This comprehensive 170-page book provides detailed answers to your questions or concerns as well as setting out a maintenance schedule for you to follow.
