Custom Home Design For You
Aria Build is renowned for building professional custom homes in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. We specialize in building a variety of custom homes. From sleek contemporary homes to minimal modern homes, we can build the perfect custom home design to suit your unique lifestyle. Our team has years of expertise in custom homes so we promise to work with you to create the style you want for your home. These are the various designs we can create for your custom home:
Modern Homes
Our modern homes are built with simplicity and clean designs in mind. We utilize high-quality building materials that are also new and more advanced for your custom modern home. Modern homes are categorized by clean and straight lines, flat roofs, large windows and open-concept floor plans.
They often incorporate basic geometric shapes both in and out of the home. At Aria Build, our goal is to help you build a simplified space that meets your every need. Whether you prefer open-concept areas or large windows and skylights, we have everything you need to create the ideal modern home for you and your family.
Contemporary Homes
A contemporary home reflects the current style of the 21st Century in both design and architecture. We build our contemporary homes with this in mind and incorporate distinctive elements like ambient lighting, clean lines, and smooth textures with flooring, curve and round shape designs, and more.
We also include smart home technology with many contemporary homes. Our team will work with you to ensure we customize your contemporary home according to your unique style and preferences.
Transitional Homes
A transitional home combines some of the best elements of traditional homes and modern homes. At Aria Build, our transitional homes incorporate the crisp, clean lines of modern homes with unique textures and materials used throughout the home. Transitional homes are characterized by an old vs. new design with differing pieces integrated into the space.
Our team will work with you to find your favourite elements like intricate details with crown moulding and combine them with newer, more modern elements. No matter what your style and preferences are, our goal is to help you build the custom transitional home you have always wanted.
Documents Required for Custom Home Building
Building a custom home is an exciting but extensive process, and there are many documents required to ensure that the project is a success. Details like floor plans, a roof plan, site plans and construction details are crucial to the process of building a custom home.
Other additional details that you may not have considered include obtaining plumbing and drain permits, lot grading and elevations, and sections.

FAQs
There is no length of time that universally applies to every custom home building project because no two custom homes are built the same. Every project is uniquely tailored to each individual’s vision and there are a number of factors that affect the time of work. For example:
– Lot location
– Is the lot clear or are we tearing down a previously built house?
– The size of the home
– Materials
Generally speaking, a custom-built home will take roughly 1 year to complete. The timeline breaks down as so:
– Financing, Choosing, and Purchasing Land: Less than 1 month
– Designs and Architectural Plans: 1-2 months
– Permits and Approvals: 1-2 months
– Construction: 4-8 months
The process of custom home building can begin at any time of year. Many homeowners are reluctant to start in winter because snow and cold weather can limit some areas of construction. However, this is often the best time to work on the design and it is faster to get permit approvals. In fact, plenty of custom home builders aim for planning and approvals to take place over the winter, so that they can begin construction in the spring.
Before beginning the custom home building process, we advise homeowners to prepare a list of questions to ask a potential custom home builder. Questions such as:
– How many years have you been custom home building?
– Are you licensed and insured?
– Roughly how long will my custom home take to be built to completion?
– How will you determine the final price of my home? What is included, and not included, in the quote?
– What do you offer that other builders do not?
– What type of warranty do you offer?
The point here is to get a better idea of whether or not the home builder is a good fit whose team aligns with your vision.
If you have a question before, during, or after your custom build, you can call your dedicated project manager. He or she is available to answer any comments, questions, or concerns you may have at any point.
All our custom home build projects include architects, designers, contractors, and all other support members. You do not need to hire any outside tradesmen on your own accord.
By obtaining a building permit, you are confirming your land allows a custom home to be built. In any case, we are here to help you from start to finish, which includes finding the right location that is suitable for your new home. If you need any assistance determining whether or not the lot is buildable and/or if it has any pitfalls or problems, we are here to help. Let a professional at Aria Build do a free lot inspection for you.
The construction phase may only commence once the land has been acquired to build on, architectural plans have been drawn and outlined, and all the necessary permits and approvals have been secured for construction. Our process of building a custom home is organized in a four-step overview:
Step 1 – Financing, Choosing and Purchasing Land
Step 2 – Designs and Architectural Plans
Step 3 – Permits and Approvals
Step 4 – Construction
In our first meeting together, we work with you to understand your dream home and vision. After the initial consolation, the next step is to look for the ideal lot. Once we understand what the scope of work is, we can provide an estimated cost based on factors such as labour, materials, etc. If the estimate is agreed upon, we move on to the architectural and design stages with our team. After all permits and approvals have been obtained, we proceed to the construction phase until the project is complete. Lastly, we clean up before delivering your brand-new home.
The custom-built home cost varies depending on many factors such as the number of floors, type of architecture, interior and exterior features, and overall size among others. After our free consultation, we will determine a price based on square footage. We will work with you to get the most accurate cost estimate for your new home build and ultimately build the best home that stays within your budget.
Yes, you can make changes during the custom home-building process. We provide walkthroughs throughout the building process so you can see your project take shape and visually see how your home looks. In many scenarios, an aspect of the house looks different in 3D than what you saw on paper thus, changes need to be made.
