Where we build · Aurora, York Region

Custom home builder and renovation contractor in Aurora

Aurora's old core along Yonge and the streets east of it hold century houses and 1950s bungalows on generous lots, and the subdivisions that grew around them from the 1980s onward hold houses built well and planned small. Both take additions, and the older lots take custom homes where the house has run its course.

Aurora in detail

Aurora, on the ground.

Second storeys, rear additions and whole-home renovations are the common Aurora jobs, with custom homes on the older lots and on estate lots toward the moraine. Heritage listings in the core add a review to exterior work, and the Oak Ridges Moraine covers much of the town's north and west.

The Town of Aurora issues the building permit. [Kam confirms typical Aurora permit timing.] Lots on the moraine bring the conservation authority into the review before the permit.

On lots inside the Moraine plan area, yes. The plan and the conservation authority review what can be built and how the site drains, and that review comes before the permit.
