Where we build · Burlington, Halton Region

Custom home builder and renovation contractor in Burlington

Burlington runs from the lakefront streets of Roseland and Shoreacres, where postwar houses on deep lots are rebuilt as custom homes, through 1970s and 1980s subdivisions to the escarpment lots of Aldershot and rural Burlington to the north. The lakefront lots are custom home territory; the subdivisions take second storeys and additions; the escarpment lots bring the Niagara Escarpment Commission into the permit.

Questions from Burlington

Yes, and many lots there have been. The zoning envelope for the street sets the height and the setbacks, and the lakefront brings the conservation authority in. The zoning check comes first.

The City of Burlington. Additions, second storeys and new houses all need a building permit with engineered drawings, and escarpment lots may also need the Escarpment Commission's permit.

Usually, with reinforcement decided by the engineer from a test pit. The subdivision lots have the room for a crane.
