Quick answers to common questions about custom home building in Toronto.
How much does it cost to build a luxury custom home in Toronto?
Cost depends on size, design complexity, site conditions, approvals, and finish level. The fastest way to get a realistic range is to define scope early (square footage + style + performance goals) and set allowances that match your finish expectations—so the “headline price” doesn’t get rewritten later.
What’s the difference between a custom home and a production home?
A custom home is designed around your specific lot, lifestyle, and finish expectations—layout, structure, exterior, and interior selections are tailored from the start. A production home is built from standardized plans with limited personalization and preset finish packages. If your lot has constraints (zoning, grading, established neighbourhood context) or you want one-of-one design and materials, custom is typically the better fit.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Toronto?
Most projects move through design → permits/approvals → construction. A common planning baseline is weeks to months for design, 1–4 months for permits depending on zoning/complexity, and 10–12+ months for construction—longer if approvals or site conditions are complex. The key is milestone planning and long-lead procurement (windows, millwork, specialty stone).
Do I need a building permit—or Committee of Adjustment—in Toronto?
If your design complies with zoning, you typically proceed through permit review. If you need minor variances (setbacks, height, lot coverage), you may require a Committee of Adjustment process before permits. A feasibility/zoning check early prevents redesigns and timeline surprises.
Can you review my lot (or a lot I’m considering) before I buy?
Yes—lot feasibility should look at zoning constraints, setbacks, grading, servicing, access, and whether a teardown or addition makes sense. This is a common “smart first step” because it reduces risk before you commit to a purchase or a design direction.
What are “allowances,” and how do they affect my final price?
Allowances are placeholder budgets for items you haven’t selected yet (tile, plumbing fixtures, lighting, cabinetry, appliances). If allowances are unrealistic, you’ll see “surprise upgrades” later. A strong build plan uses an allowance schedule that matches your finish level and locks key selections early.
How do change orders work—and how do you keep them under control?
Change orders should be written, priced, and approved before work proceeds, with a clear schedule impact. The best way to reduce change orders is to finalize scope and selections earlier (especially items tied to rough-ins and long lead times). Homeowners frequently run into disputes when scope and allowances aren’t clearly defined—so the contract and specs must be unambiguous.
What deposit and payment schedule is typical for a Toronto custom home?
Many builders use a deposit to start planning/procurement and then milestone-based payments tied to visible progress. Some GTA builders commonly reference a ~10% deposit and staged payments thereafter; the key is making sure milestones are clearly defined in writing (not vague dates).
What warranty coverage applies to my project?
Warranty depends on whether your project is a new build or a renovation, and on the exact scope and products used. Your contract should clearly define what’s covered (workmanship, materials, manufacturer warranties) and for how long, along with the process for reporting issues after handover. We also document specifications, inspections, and close-out items so you have clear records and a smoother warranty process.
What’s included in the build price vs. “standard finish”?
Ask for a written “included/excluded + allowances” schedule that covers kitchens, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, lighting, flooring, hardware, and appliances. Reddit is full of disputes where “standard” wasn’t defined—so you want specifics, not assumptions.
Who manages the site day-to-day, and how often will I get updates?
You should know who your day-to-day lead is (PM/site supervision), how often you’ll get progress updates, how decisions are documented, and how issues are escalated. A predictable build is one where decisions and approvals are tracked—not remembered.
When should I choose finishes and fixtures to avoid delays?
Earlier than most people think. Many delays come from late selections that affect rough-ins (plumbing/electrical), cabinet shop drawings, and long-lead ordering. A good plan sets decision deadlines and procurement milestones so trades don’t stall waiting on selections.
