Across most custom builds in Canada, final costs land 10–20% above the original budget. In more complex or loosely defined projects, that gap can be even wider.
That means six-figure movement on a $1M project, once construction is underway.
The difference is rarely one decision. It’s usually many small gaps in scope, assumptions, and allowances that surface once the work begins.
We build differently.
We prioritize clarity before construction begins — detailed documentation, disciplined planning, and above all, accurate pricing. Too often, builders rely on optimistic allowances or incomplete numbers to make a project appear more affordable at the outset, only for the real costs to emerge later.
We believe clients should understand the true cost of a project from the beginning. Not as a pricing strategy, but as a reflection of how we manage work.
Predictability is part of good building.
