What is a Custom Home?
A custom home is designed for you from scratch. Forget developer plans and cookie-cutter aesthetics, your home will be designed by you, for you. You’ll control every aspect of your home from floor to ceiling. You’ll work with a builder and designer to go through the design and build process of your new home. Though they are more work and require up-front financing, it’s worth it to live in the home of your dreams.
Benefits of Custom Homes Sooke
- You Pick the Location. Have you ever found the perfect home but it wasn’t near your work or it was too close to a noisy strip mall? A poor location can turn a great home into a no-go. Location issues will be a thing of the past when you build custom since you choose your land yourself! It can be as big or small as you want, as close to the city as you want, and with any view you choose.
- You Pick the Size. From the height of the ceilings to the size of the kitchen to the total square footage of your home, you have a say. You’ll choose the room size, the number of stories, the size of the backyard, everything.
- Your Home Fits Your Lifestyle. When you build a custom home in Sooke, you can tailor your home to match your personality, hobbies, and lifestyle. If you love to entertain and want a second living room or you love to read and want a library with a large window seat to curl up in, you can make it happen.
- You Choose the Materials. Every element of your exterior and interior is your choice. You choose the quality of materials, the colours, the style, and the price of all materials used in your home. Every aspect of your home is yours to decide, and you won’t have to make a single sacrifice.
- You Set the Budget. The best part of building a custom home is you decide how much you want to spend. It can be frustrating to find the perfect home and have to turn it down because the asking price is too high and the seller won’t budge, so instead, build it yourself at a budget you set. You won’t have to spend more than what you can comfortably afford.
Why Choose Our Design-Build Process for Custom Homes in Sooke
- Budget Management. Of course, the budget you set for your project will determine elements of the entire build, and managing that large of a budget can be daunting. We’ll help you set and stick to your budget and will oversee your budget management for you. That way, you can focus on choosing all the right features of your home while we focus on keeping you and the build on track financially.
- Single Source of Accountability. We make your custom build as simple as we can by giving you just one point of communication for your build. Imagine how stressful it would be if you tried to manage a dozen contractors and timelines and inspections for your home, let alone communicate timelines and requests with all of them. Let us handle everything and give you one single source of accountability for all communication.
- Faster Project Completion. It will take months to build a home properly since we do so carefully and meticulously, but our process has been improved and streamlined over hundreds of custom builds to bring the ultimate efficiency to your home’s construction. We begin construction in the design phase to prepare your land as well as begin the excavation for your home so we can move things along a bit faster than normal. We begin this way so you don’t have to wait as long to start your new life in your new perfect home. We know you’re impatient to get going, and we promise a faster-than-average build.

All communication will go through us, and since we helped design your home and draw up every plan, we can make sure that every person working on your home knows it as well as we do.
