Our Process
Often, we get asked by homeowners whether it’s better to demolish their old home and build a new custom home or do a major renovation on their existing home. We need to come out to inspect the home’s structure and discuss your goals, so as to come to the best decision.
With over twenty years of award-winning home building and renovating experience, Dale Roadhouse will discuss your ideas and how to get the best value for your home improvement dollars.

Prior to Design
We will arrange a topographical survey of your property. We will want to pay close attention to things like zoning bylaws, site orientation. rights-of-way and anything else that can affect the design and placement of your new home on the property. For renovation work, we’ll want to explore necessary code upgrades, strata regulations for condos.

Home Design
For new builds, you may select one of our home plans from our portfolio and we will work with you to modify the plan to suit your building site. Or you can sit down with our home designer to draw up your own custom home plan. For renovations, we’ll discuss the available options both in floorplan and in energy upgrades.
