Building from the ground up

A custom home is the longest and most involved project we take on, and it is where ADH Canada started — the first job the company ever did was gutting a house and rebuilding it. Since then we have delivered custom builds and full rebuilds across the GTA, taking projects from a bare or cleared lot through to handover.

The stages of a custom build

• Feasibility — what the lot, the zoning and the budget will actually allow
• Design and drawings — architectural and structural drawings developed with your input
• Permits — building permit applications, committee of adjustment where required, and the revisions that come with them
• Excavation and foundation — servicing, footings, foundation and waterproofing
• Structure and envelope — framing, roofing, windows, cladding and insulation
• Mechanical rough-in — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, with inspections at each stage
• Interior finishes — drywall, millwork, flooring, tile, paint and fixtures
• Handover — final inspections, deficiency list, and occupancy

Knowing what it will cost before you commit

The most useful thing we can do early is tell you honestly what a build on your lot will cost. We would rather spend an afternoon working through the numbers with you than start a project that runs out of budget at the drywall stage.
