FAQs
How much deposit is required to start a new home building in Chatham-Kent?
Most projects require a 10% deposit, held until completion. The final phase involves a walk-through to address touch-ups or deficiencies, followed by confirming completion and signing warranty documents. While each phase of construction is unique, purchasing materials from suppliers is usually required.
How big can my new house be?
Before starting your home, it’s important to know the bylaws and construction limitations. A survey will define your lot boundaries, and the city can provide height and size restrictions. Our in-house architect can research and determine the maximum building size without going to the Committee of Adjustments.
How much does it cost to build a new home in Chatham-Kent?
There’s no simple formula for determining the cost of a home. Ballpark estimates can be made based on square footage and similar projects, but they may have a 20% margin of error.
On average, custom homes start at $320 per square foot and can exceed $500. A final quote requires completed drawings, a detailed scope of work, and specific materials. Even then, cost can vary by up to 5% due to market fluctuations in material prices.
What documents are required to start the home building process?
Before any construction begins, the homeowner or builder must secure the necessary permits from the city. To begin the process, we need the building permit, plumbing permit, HVAC duct design, as well as elevation drawings and floor plan. Architects also require a property survey and, in some cases, an arborist report before starting any drawings.
How long does it take to build a home in Chatham-Kent?
Once the paperwork is complete, construction begins. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. A 3,000-square-foot home with standard complexity typically takes 6-12 months to build, though weather and inspection delays may impact the schedule. A more accurate estimate will be provided once the drawings are finalized.
Do home builders in Chatham-Kent need to have a license?
It’s crucial to hire a builder who is insured and has Tarion warranty coverage. Building a new home without these protections is illegal. If caught, the homeowner could face significant fines, job site shutdowns, and the need to redo construction steps that require proper inspection.
How will you ensure you stay on budget?
When working with Mi Cazza Construction, you’ll be communicating with the design and construction team from concept to completion. With effective planning, the final cost typically falls within 1-4% of the initial budget – an accuracy that’s rare in the industry. The key to this success lies in the planning stage, which sets the foundation for the entire project.
What warranties are provided with the house?
