    What do we Need to Build a New Home?

    As much as we’d love to help you break ground on a new home immediately, there are several factors that need to be addressed before we can start building:

    1. Do you own a vacant lot or plot of land?
    2. Do you have your utilities setup & coordinated?
    3. Have you inquired about a building permit?
    4. Do you have a home design in mind, plans, or blueprints?
    5. Have you found a local home builder in Norfolk County? (hint hint)

    Let’s dig in to help you check each item off of your new home checklist!

    1) Vacant Lot or Ready to Build Land

    For custom homes and new homes, you need to make sure you have suitable land area on which to build your desired size of home.

    2) Setting up Utilities for your New Home

    Planning and building a new home can take many months. During this time you’ll have to get all of your utilities hooked up and installed, including:

    • Hydro/Electricity
    • Natural Gas
    • Cable/Internet
    • Water/Sewer
    • Phone lines

    Most of these utilities have only 1 or 2 options. HydroOne for hydro, Union Gas for Natural Gas… Your satellite, cable, internet etc has several options between Kwic, Eastlink, Rogers, Bell and more.

Your home is built to match your dreams, desires, and needs. From start to finish, including the last nail, and the final coat of high quality interior paint!
