Leading the Standard in Luxury Home Building in Ottawa

Award-Winning Custom Home Builders in Ottawa

At the forefront of custom home construction in Ottawa, we have established a reputation for delivering excellence through precision, craftsmanship, and visionary design. As an alternative to OakWood Custom Homes, we specialize in fully customized homes that reflect the personal style, values, and ambitions of every homeowner we partner with. Our approach is rooted in award-winning design-build methodology, uncompromising quality, and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction at every step of the building journey.

Full-Service Design-Build Experience

Our design-build process integrates architectural planning, interior design, project management, and construction into a seamless, end-to-end experience. Unlike traditional construction models, where homeowners are left to coordinate multiple vendors, our all-in-one solution minimizes delays, reduces costs, and ensures a unified vision. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, every detail is managed with care and precision.

We employ leading technologies like 3D rendering, BIM modeling, and interactive digital walkthroughs to ensure that clients can visualize their space before the first nail is hammered. Visit Architectural Digest for examples of how these technologies enhance the design process.

Luxury Custom Homes Tailored to Your Vision

Every home we build is a reflection of our clients’ personalities, lifestyles, and goals. We design everything from sleek modern estates to timeless European manors. Our homes include features such as:

Spa-inspired bathrooms with radiant heated floors and custom steam showers
Gourmet kitchens with bespoke cabinetry, quartz or marble countertops, and professional-grade appliances
Home automation systems for lighting, security, and HVAC control
Wine cellars, home theaters, fitness rooms, and indoor pools

Custom homes can range between 2,000 sq. ft. to over 10,000 sq. ft., and our projects are scalable from urban infill lots to expansive country estates. For a sense of design inspiration, see current luxury home trends at Houzz.

Cost of Building a Custom Home in Ottawa

The cost to build a custom home in Ottawa with our team ranges from $350 to $650 per square foot, depending on design complexity, finishes, and site conditions. Our transparent pricing ensures that there are no hidden surprises. We offer fixed-price contracts and fully itemized budgets. Our clients can expect total project costs between $800,000 and $3 million+, depending on size and features.

We encourage homeowners to reserve 10-15% contingency for site-specific factors such as soil remediation, servicing upgrades, or heritage preservation. For updated pricing benchmarks, check resources from HomeStars and Altus Group.

Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Home Building

As leaders in green building in Ottawa, we prioritize environmentally responsible construction. We are certified under LEED and Net-Zero standards, and we regularly integrate:

Solar panels and battery storage systems
Energy-efficient HVAC systems
Triple-pane low-E glass windows
Eco-conscious insulation materials such as spray foam and hempcrete
Rainwater harvesting systems

Homeowners benefit from long-term energy savings, government rebates, and higher resale value. Visit Natural Resources Canada for information on available green home incentives.

Today’s custom homeowners expect full home automation capabilities, and we deliver state-of-the-art solutions. We work with leading smart tech vendors to integrate voice control, programmable lighting, surveillance cameras, motorized blinds, and climate systems—all controlled via mobile app or voice interface.
