pre-purchased a selection of lots. While custom builds can be constructed within developed neighbourhoods as well, they also provide the option to be built on larger suburban properties, rural areas and city infill opportunities. Custom builds, as the name suggests, are fully personalized constructions that offer homeowners the opportunity to be involved in the creative process while working with architects and designers. During the discovery process with Maric, homebuyers explain their wants, needs and special requests to incorporate any accessibility, energy efficiency and technological requirements. Custom builds also allow for a curated design of your spaces, tailored specifically to your lifestyle, such as wine cellars, media rooms, spa areas, outdoor kitchens or themed rooms. “The possibilities are infinite; imagination is what drives it forward. Between the Maric designers with innovative concepts and our client’s wish list, our team is more than ready to bring their ideas to fruition,” Rolfe says. “Our strength is to figure out the design direction, related to the piece of property that a customer might have or that we may be able to offer them. Then we suit the house geographically and functionally. We utilize the floor plan and house design that best fits the lot.”
There are advantages to both. Two experts from established homebuilders will highlight the differences and guide us through their processes. Dan Rolfe, president of Maric, and Tony Balaz, vice-president of Kensington Homes, will share their expertise to help you decide which path is right for you.
