We design and build one-off homes on your lot in Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge and the townships. Then we stay on the hook: you'll always know which warranty covers what, and how to reach us.
New homes in Ontario come with three layers of statutory warranty. Move the slider and watch which ones are still running, what each covers, and how you'd report a problem in that window.
Each ring fills as its coverage period runs. Grey means that layer has ended.
The basics: the home is built with good work and materials, is fit to live in, and meets the Ontario Building Code.
The systems and the shell: things that let water in or keep the house running.
The bones: defects in work or materials that cause a load-bearing part to fail, or that seriously affect how you can use the home.
General guide only, as of Oct 2026. Check the official source. This is how Ontario's statutory new-home warranty is generally described, not advice about your home. Forms, dates and limits are set by Tarion and can change. Read the details at tarion.com.
Every build follows the same five stages. Weeks are typical for a 2,800 sq ft home on a serviced lot Sample; rural septic lots and winter starts add time.
We walk your lot, check zoning, grades, services and setbacks, and tell you honestly what fits.
Week 0 · freePlans with our designer, then a written fixed price with every allowance listed.
Weeks 1–10We file the building permit with your municipality and handle inspections. You get a named site lead, a weekly photo update and a walk-through at framing and drywall.
You'll never chase us for news: the update lands every Friday, rain or snow.
Weeks 10–44We walk the finished home with you, write down anything not right, and set dates to fix it.
Week 45Keys, manuals and your coverage calendar. We book check-ins at 30 days, year 1 and year 2.
Week 46 onwardThree starting points our clients have built most. Prices are samples on your serviced lot, before HST and lot costs, and move with size, finishes and site work.
What moves the price: lot slope and soil, well and septic on rural lots, finish level, and design changes after the fixed price is signed.
Two sessions in our design center with a named coordinator. Your allowances are written into the price, so you see what's included before you fall for the quartz.
All allowances are samples for illustration. Your written price lists your own.
A downspout pooled water against the foundation in our second spring. Dana's crew regraded it within the week, no argument.
The fixed price was the price. The only change was one we asked for, and they quoted it in writing first.
Friday photo updates kept us sane while we were still in Toronto. We knew about the frost delay before we had to ask.
Reviews are samples written for this concept.
Tell us a little about the lot and timing. Ken or Dana will call within two business days to book a walk.
