4 Problems with Building a Custom Home

and How Southall Solves Them

You've discussed your budget with your home builder, but you're still getting unexpected costs and fees.

For home construction, we work exclusively with a ‘cost plus‘ pricing model for home construction. 

When it comes to the cost of building a custom home, there are no surprises with our 10-step process.

We keep you informed about all costs associated with construction, including the beautiful hardwood flooring and state-of-the-art stainless steel kitchen sinks.

Our design and construction team will work diligently with you throughout your project so that you can feel confident in knowing how much money is being spent at any given time.

Can you trust your next custom home Designer & builder to deliver quality work on time and on budget?

For three decades, we’ve built a solid reputation for our work among other construction companies and homeowners.

Referrals from happy clients attest to the high level of quality craftsmanship you can expect when working with us on your custom home.

This is why it brings such immense satisfaction to see their eyes light up when they get the keys to the home of their dreams – that’s what inspires us every day!

Custom home builders get sneaky by using inferior products and materials.

For years, we have only worked with brands well-respected in the custom home design and construction industry.

Some of our partnerships include:

  • Cascadia Windows, which produces high-quality fibreglass windows;
  • Tall Tree, which offers a wide variety of quality building materials; and
  • Canadian Bavarian Millworks and Lumber, which specializes in exterior finishing materials.

You can't get ahold of your General Contractor. They juggle multiple projects and never seem available when something goes wrong with your new home build: you need answers NOW.

Southall Construction is always available and dedicated to your project. We ensure that our team is consistently on-site, managing and building your home with the utmost attention and care.

We prioritize your project and are committed to providing the support and availability you need throughout construction.
