Benefits of a Custom Home or Addition
Improved functionality
Whether it’s a custom-built home or an addition, these options enhance the flow and organization of your living space, perfectly aligning with your lifestyle.
Cost-effective solution
Building a custom home or opting for a home addition can be more economical than purchasing a larger property, especially in Toronto’s competitive housing market.
Enhanced property value
A custom home or a well-planned addition can significantly increase the market value of your property, making it a worthwhile investment.
Cost of a Custom Home and Home Addition
Asking how much a custom home or home addition costs is a bit like asking how much a bag of groceries costs! The cost varies depending on factors such as size, complexity, materials, and labour. To get an accurate estimate, it’s essential to consult with a professional who can evaluate your specific needs and provide a detailed breakdown of costs. Keep in mind that investing in a quality custom home or addition can yield significant returns on investment by increasing your property’s value.
- A custom home can range between roughly between $600,000 to $2 million or more.
- A home addition can range between roughly $90,000 and $900,000!
How Long Do They Take?
The duration of a custom home or addition project depends on factors such as the type, size, and complexity of the project, as well as permitting and construction timeframes.
The construction phase of a custom home can take anywhere from six months to a year or more. Meanwhile a home addition can take anywhere from three to six months, but can take up to a year if the property requires foundation work or it is part of a larger renovation. The more up-front planning, the smoother the building process.
Challenges When Adding a Home Addition
Permitting and zoning
The design and build needs to meet the Ontario Building Code and Toronto zoning bylaws. Depending on the lot size and scope of the project, a well executed design is essential for gaining approval for a zoning variance (if needed) at a Committee of Adjustment meeting.
Structural considerations
For additions, integrating new structures with existing ones poses unique challenges, while for custom homes, assessing and preparing the land is a primary concern.
Investment constraints
Align your investment level, balancing design, scope of work, and the unique nature of your property, before you start renovating with a pre-construction process.
Community Engagement
Renovation projects can be disruptive, so it is important to communicate early and often with neighbours to create awareness and mitigate any challenges.
Understand the Pre-construction Process
Are you planning a renovation project but concerned about uncertainties and escalating costs? A pre-construction process can help you minimize those risks and ensure the success of your project.
With a detailed plan and thorough assessment of your needs before construction begins, you can eliminate costly assumptions, surprises and budget creep.
