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.
