Modern Custom Home service
Before After The evaluation showed the top of bank sat much further in than the listing implied. We staked it with Conservation Halton and redesigned before the purchase closed, then built a 5,200 sq ft residence facing the valley.
Conservation Halton permit
Luxury Custom Home service“Lakeshore lot, ravine on one side, heritage review on the other. Three agencies and one contract. They sequenced Conservation Halton and Heritage Oakville together so neither held the other up, and the Tarion paperwork was filed before we got the keys.”
“We still work downtown and commute on the GO. Every approval and site meeting was handled without us. We came in for finish selections three Saturdays and that was it.”
“Clearview lot, three kids, a budget we would not move. They showed us exactly where the money went in the quote and we cut the right things, not the structure. Fixed price held.”
“The ravine lot looked buildable to us. The evaluation showed the top of bank sat much further in than the listing implied. We redesigned before the purchase closed, not after.”
“Flat roof, lots of glass, Palermo lot. The height rules were the worry. They measured it under the by-law before design and we never needed a variance. Clean, quiet crew.”
“Our Bronte Village house was on the heritage register and we assumed demolition was off the table. They priced restoration with a rear addition against new infill. We kept the front facade, gained 2,000 square feet, and Heritage Oakville approved it in one round.”
