Building or buying a waterfront property can be an exciting and rewarding venture, but it comes with unique considerations that differ from inland properties.
Building a custom luxury, vacation or forever home is about more than just creating a living space. It’s about creating a place that suits your lifestyle habits, needs, family and personal preferences.

The definition of a luxury home varies by area, but it usually indicates a home priced within the top 10% of the real estate market. Luxury homes can list at anywhere upward of a million dollars and have unique features and high-quality materials that distinguish them from their neighbors.
Each of our luxury homes is custom built to fit the lifestyle and wants of the owner. Some of the commonly requested features include walk-in closets, smart home integration, temperature-controlled wine storage, indoor and outdoor pools, and home gyms.
Aging in place means staying in your home as you grow older, even through health-related issues or loss of mobility. It means designing or renovating your home to suit your needs through retirement and as you and your loved ones grow older.
It depends entirely on your concerns and current health, but the most common upgrades we provide have to do with lighting, mobility, and balance. A home renovation that allows you to age in place should have abundant natural and installed lighting, wide doorways and flat surfaces that allow mobility aids, and grab bars, large knobs and door handles, and anti-slip flooring.
In many cases, you can rent out your vacation home for an extra income stream. You’ll want to check local bylaws and your mortgage agreement for details. It can also be helpful to consult a tax professional for information on how to collect rental income.
We can custom build your vacation home to suit your taste and desires! Some of the most common requests for vacation homes are swimming pools, beach cabanas or outdoor showers, large windows for enjoying the view, covered decks, and outdoor kitchens.
Design build construction is a project delivery method in which one entity, typically a design-build firm or builder, manages both the design and construction phases of a building project. This approach streamlines the process by combining design, construction and project management into a single team, which can result in a faster and more efficient construction process.
The design build process has several advantages, including the ability to save time and money by working with a single entity for the entire project. This approach can eliminate communication gaps and reduce project delays. Additionally, a design build firm can provide a more streamlined and cohesive project experience, ensuring that the design and construction are aligned with the client’s goals and budget.
We specialize in major renovation projects, including full home remodels, luxury renovations, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, outdoor renovations, and additions. Contact us to discuss your project needs.
The timeline for your luxury renovation or remodeling depends on a number of factors, including complexity and budget. In our estimate process, we give you the most accurate information we can on how long we expect your renovation to take.
Renovations are a personal project, and every homeowner has different priorities. That said, the most common major home renovations we’ve seen over the years are full home remodels, kitchen and bathroom renos, and aging in place renovations.
The final cost depends on whether your remodel includes structural changes, new fixtures, and/or plumbing upgrades. We always provide a line estimate that includes complete information on all expected costs.
The most important thing is to ask yourself what you use most in your kitchen and where your current kitchen falls short. Many of our clients request environmentally efficient appliances, custom counters and backsplash, and smart appliance integration.
We plan your luxury kitchen remodel carefully to minimize the time you’ll be without a kitchen. Create a mini-kitchen with a microwave, toaster oven, electric kettle, and hotplate to tide you over while your kitchen is under construction.
In general, you should always talk to a home builder or architect before you purchase land. The terrain, elevation, and size of your lot will dictate what kind of home works best on the property. Buying a lot first could limit the type of home you can ultimately build.

Before getting started with a home builder, it’s important to ask several key questions, such as:
A spec home is a house that a builder constructs with a pre-determined floor plan, design and finishes. These homes are typically built without a specific buyer in mind and are offered for sale upon completion. In contrast, a custom home is designed and built to meet the unique needs and preferences of a specific client.
Custom homes can seem like they cost more up front, but they are typically less expensive than buying something and then remodeling it to meet your needs. Custom builds also offer greater flexibility and the opportunity to create a unique home that reflects your personal style and preferences.
