One of the most significant differences is that prior to construction commencing, we provide a detailed budget and work to ensure construction costs are kept within the budgeted price. Our clients begin their projects understanding the costs upfront, and are not burdened with unexpected costs.
Another key difference between Stanfield Homes and other custom home builders is that we provide a complete suite of services, from designing architectural plans to helping you obtain minor variances, permits and approvals. Everything we discuss is documented in thorough detail; you will receive a complete and accurate Scope of Work, a Payment Schedule, and a step-by-step guide tailored to your home, before we ever break ground.
We also work directly with highly experienced skilled trades who are fully aware of our clients’ budgets and needs, and use only fine quality materials to construct every Stanfield home.
We examine every aspect of building your home and provide detailed costs of each part of the construction process for you. We provide you with an itemized budget so you have a very clear understanding of how much the build will cost before we begin construction. Cost areas include:
- House plans
- Engineering
- Permits
- Site preparation
- Excavation/Foundation
- Service connections
- Framing
- Exterior roofing and finishes
- Millwork
- Interior finishes
- Mechanical/Electrical/Heating systems
- Site grading
- Miscellaneous (examples include duct cleaning, final clean up etc.)
- Everything is included in the final budget. With Stanfield Homes, there are no surprises.
Every home we build is unique. There are a number of factors to consider when budgeting for your custom home. Some considerations are:
- the size of the lot
- the square footage of the home
- the finishes that are chosen
- whether the basement will be finished

Once the exterior is complete, we review all details of the plan then proceed to get pricing for the build.
