Building a custom home in Hamilton, Niagara and Grand River: what is different here
Escarpment and shoreline lots
The Niagara Escarpment runs through Hamilton and Niagara, and Lake Ontario and Lake Erie shorelines bring erosion and flooding rules. Lots in either place often need extra permits and engineering.
Floodplain and conservation authority lots · Buying a waterfront lot
Rural and agricultural land
Haldimand, Norfolk and Brant have many rural lots with septic and wells, and lots near farms can be affected by agricultural setback rules.
Building on agricultural and rural land · Septic and well reality check
Before you hire any builder
- Look the builder up on the HCRA Ontario Builder Directory. Anyone who builds a new home for you in Ontario must hold an HCRA licence, and the directory shows their licence status and history.
- Ask for at least three recent completed homes you can drive past, and talk to those owners.
- Ask for proof of liability insurance and a WSIB clearance certificate.
- Get the scope, allowances, payment schedule and holdback in a written contract before any deposit.
- Know your all-in budget first. The custom home cost calculator gives you a starting number.
