Where we build · Vaughan, York Region

Custom home builder and renovation contractor in Vaughan

Vaughan is custom home country. Woodbridge, Kleinburg and the older parts of Maple and Thornhill have spent two decades replacing 1960s and 1970s houses on wide lots with new two-storeys, and the streets show it. The other Vaughan job is the second storey or the rear addition on a 1980s house that was built well and planned small.

Vaughan in detail

Vaughan, on the ground.

Kleinburg's heritage district adds a design review to exterior work. Lots along the Humber and its branches fall under the conservation authority. Beyond that, Vaughan lots are generous, driveways take a crane, and the work moves at the pace of the permit.

The City of Vaughan issues the building permit. It reviews zoning as part of the application, so a design inside the envelope goes straight through while one outside it goes to the Committee of Adjustment first. [Kam confirms typical Vaughan permit timing.]

The City of Vaughan issues the permit, and a design outside the zoning envelope goes to the Committee of Adjustment before the application is complete. [Link to the Vaughan building permit page and typical processing time.]

Questions from Vaughan

Yes, and many lots there have been rebuilt. A demolition permit and a building permit are separate applications, and the new house has to sit inside the zoning envelope for the street or go through the Committee of Adjustment.

The City of Vaughan. Additions, second storeys and new houses all need a building permit with engineered drawings, and Kleinburg's heritage district adds a review.

It depends on whether the design fits the zoning envelope and whether a conservation review applies. [Kam confirms typical Vaughan permit timing.] Our guide on the Vaughan permit timeline walks through the steps.
