Where we build · Georgina, York Region

Custom home builder and renovation contractor in Georgina

Georgina is Keswick, Sutton, Pefferlaw and the Lake Simcoe shoreline between them. Much of the stock started as cottages and has been rebuilt for year-round living one house at a time, and that is the Georgina job: a custom home or a whole-home rebuild on a shoreline lot where the old cottage cannot be made to work.

Georgina in detail

Georgina, on the ground.

Additions and second storeys on the year-round houses in Keswick and Sutton come up as well, along with whole-home renovations on 1970s stock. Shoreline lots bring the conservation authority's review and the lake's setback rules into the permit.

The Town of Georgina issues the building permit. Wells and septic systems are common outside the serviced areas. [Kam confirms typical Georgina permit timing and whether Savino coordinates septic design.]

Questions from Georgina

Yes, and many have been. The shoreline setback, the conservation authority's review and the septic capacity decide the footprint. We map those before you commit to drawings.

The Town of Georgina. Additions, second storeys and new houses all need a building permit with engineered drawings, and shoreline lots need the conservation authority's review first.

Usually, with reinforcement decided by the engineer from a test pit. On a shoreline lot the height limit and the setback come from the zoning check.
