Custom Homes in Toronto at a Glance

  • Who we are: a licensed, bonded and insured Toronto design-build company based in Scarborough, building custom homes, major additions and ADUs since 2004, with over 500 projects completed. Best of Houzz 2025 award recipient.
  • A boutique builder: we take on a limited number of major projects each year, typically 6 to 10, so we can give each one the attention it needs from planning to handover.
  • Firm fixed price: every Novacon contract is firm fixed price, so you know your construction cost before work begins.
  • Licensed new home builder: Novacon is licensed with the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) and is a Tarion-registered builder.
  • Tarion new home warranty: every new custom home we build is covered by the Tarion warranty: one year on materials and workmanship, two years on plumbing, electrical and heating systems and water penetration, and seven years on major structural defects.
  • What we build: new custom homes on your lot, including knockdown-and-rebuild projects on existing Toronto properties. We can design the home with you or build from your architect’s drawings.
  • Typical 2026 cost: hard construction for a well-built custom home generally runs $350 to $500 per sq. ft.; all-in budgets excluding land, with design, engineering, permits, site work and allowances, commonly land between $450 and $700 per sq. ft. A 2,500 sq. ft. home is roughly $1.2 million to $2 million before land. See our custom home cost guide.
  • Typical timeline: 8 to 12 months of construction, and about 10 to 18 months from first consultation through design, permits and construction. A Committee of Adjustment variance, if needed, adds roughly 3 to 4 months.
  • Planning first: we confirm what your lot permits under zoning before design begins, and with thorough planning our final numbers typically land within 1 to 4 percent of budget.
  • One team: design, engineering coordination, permits, demolition, construction and a dedicated project manager, with a 24/7 client portal and detailed monthly cost reports.
  • Toronto custom homes we’ve built: East York, High Park, Scarborough, Agincourt and a luxury custom home in Toronto, plus GTA homes in Pickering and Stouffville.

Knockdown and rebuild in Toronto

Many of our custom homes replace an existing house on a lot the family already owns. A knockdown-and-rebuild adds steps a vacant lot doesn’t: a demolition permit with a replacement building, utility disconnection, tree protection, and site work on a tight urban lot next to neighbouring homes. We confirm zoning, the buildable envelope and whether a variance is needed before design, so you know early whether rebuilding or a major renovation makes more sense for your property. As an HCRA-licensed, Tarion-registered builder, your new home comes with the Tarion new home warranty.

Custom vs Pre-Built Custom Homes

Some people believe that buying a house is easier and more convenient than building one. But this is simply not true. There is almost no chance of finding a property that will match your needs perfectly. Every already-built house, no matter how close it’s to your dream, will have a few flaws that you won’t like. Maybe the rooms are too small, the windows don’t let enough light in, the staircase is too narrow, or the floor plan is awkward.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Over the years, we’ve learned from countless clients that building from the ground up is just as cost and time effective. Due to all the renovation and maintenance required to get the home to meet their needs.

We strive to be the most professional custom home builder in Toronto. Given our vast experience and genuine drive to build exceptional custom homes. So, give us a call at 416.750.7555 and we will help you build the house you have been dreaming of.

The Cost to Build a Custom Home in Toronto

Understanding the costs associated with building a custom home in Toronto is crucial when planning your dream residence. The cost to build a home in this vibrant city varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of the design, the level of finishes, and the specific features and materials chosen. In 2026, hard construction for a well-built custom home in Toronto generally runs $350 to $500 per square foot. Premium builds with larger glazing, open structural spans and elevated millwork commonly run $450 to $600, and architectural and luxury builds $600 to $900 and beyond. Once design, engineering, permits, site work and allowances are included, all-in budgets excluding land commonly land between $450 and $700 per square foot, and we recommend a 10 to 15 percent contingency, more on a teardown.

Custom Homes: Frequently Asked Questions

When working with our team, you will be dealing with the design and construction team right from the concept right through to project completion. That means that if we plan effectively and properly, then the final numbers should land within 1-4% of our budget. Which is almost unheard of in our industry. The key is the planning stage as that sets us up for success.

Construction for a new custom home typically takes 8 to 12 months, depending on complexity and size. From first consultation through design, permits and construction, most projects take 10 to 18 months.

This is addressed in our planning stages but there are countless finishes and material options which we help you hone in during our design meetings.

This is a very personal question and will vary from person to person but typically we see the heart of the home is the kitchen/family space, as this is where we spend most of our time together. We try to tailor each home to our clients needs and lifestyle. Whether that means a luxurious spa like ensuite, a man cave or home office we design around you and your family.

I think we focus much more attention than most contractors on being a client centric one stop shop for the full design and build package. This means the planning stages for us are crucial and keeps us always focused on our clients. Most builders focus on the profits vs building a relationship with the client which ultimately creates a Win-Win scenario and is why we are so highly rated/referred out by our past clients.

A new build will have the full Tarion warranty and major renovations/additions carry a 2 year warranty though our company.

Selecting the right custom home builder in Toronto is essential to ensuring that your dream home becomes a reality. To help you make an informed decision, here are some important questions to ask potential custom home builders:

  1. How many years of experience do you have in the custom home building industry?
  2. Can you provide references from previous clients?
  3. Are you a Tarion Home Builder, and what does your warranty cover?
  4. How do you handle the permitting and zoning process?
  5. Do you have experience with the Design-Build method of construction, and how does it benefit me as a homeowner?
  6. How do you ensure the project stays on time and within budget?
  7. Can you provide a detailed breakdown of the costs involved in building a custom home in Toronto?
  8. How do you manage communication throughout the construction process?
  9. Can you provide examples of custom luxury homes you’ve built with similar features to my desired home?
  10. What kind of post-construction support do you offer?

By asking these questions, you can gain valuable insight into the expertise, professionalism, and transparency of prospective custom home builders. This information will guide you in choosing the right partner to bring your vision to life while ensuring a smooth and enjoyable home building experience.

When considering whether to build a custom home or purchase an existing property, it’s important to weigh the costs and benefits of each option. Custom built homes may have a higher initial investment compared to buying a pre-existing home, but they offer several advantages that make the investment worthwhile.

Building a custom luxury home with Novacon Construction allows you to tailor every aspect of your new residence to your personal preferences, lifestyle, and needs. This customization ensures that your home is a true reflection of your vision, with features and amenities that cater specifically to you and your family. Additionally, custom homes are built using the latest construction techniques and materials, which often result in increased energy efficiency and lower maintenance costs over time.

On the other hand, purchasing an existing home may involve compromises on design, layout, and features, as well as potential hidden costs related to renovations, repairs, or upgrades needed to make the space align with your preferences. While the initial price of a pre-existing home may be lower, these additional expenses can add up over time.

Ultimately, the decision between building a custom home or buying an existing property depends on your unique needs, preferences, and financial situation. By choosing to build a custom home with Novacon Construction, you invest in a personalized living space designed to stand the test of time and enhance your quality of life.

While new custom homes in Toronto are built to adhere to strict building codes and quality standards, it’s still a good idea to have a home inspection conducted. A professional home inspection provides an additional layer of assurance, ensuring that your custom built home is free of any potential issues or defects before you move in.

At Novacon Construction, we prioritize the quality and craftsmanship of every custom luxury home we build. However, we understand the value of an unbiased, third-party assessment to give you peace of mind. A home inspection can identify any areas that may require attention, allowing us to address them promptly and effectively, guaranteeing your complete satisfaction.

In addition to the Tarion Home Warranty that protects your custom home against construction defects, a home inspection serves as an extra safeguard, ensuring your new residence meets the highest standards of quality and safety.

The timeline for building a custom home can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the design, the size of the home, weather conditions, and the availability of materials and labor. Generally, the process of constructing a custom luxury home in Toronto can take anywhere from 10 to 18 months. This timeline includes the initial consultation, design and planning stages, obtaining permits, and the actual construction of the home.

At Novacon Construction, we understand the importance of delivering your custom built home on time and within budget. Our Design-Build method streamlines the construction process, allowing for better communication and coordination between all parties involved. This approach enables us to effectively manage the project timeline and address any potential issues that may arise, ensuring that your custom home is completed efficiently and to the highest quality standards.

While the construction of a custom home may take longer than purchasing an existing property, the result is a beautifully crafted, personalized living space that reflects your vision and accommodates your unique lifestyle and needs.
