At Ridgestone Homes, we believe that your home should be a true reflection of your lifestyle and personal taste. That’s why we specialize in custom-built homes, tailored specifically to meet your unique needs and preferences.

What is a Custom-Built Home?

A custom-built home is more than just a structure; it’s a one-of-a-kind living space designed and constructed specifically for you. Unlike production homes, where designs and layouts are predetermined, our custom homes allow for flexibility and personalization in every detail. From architectural style to interior finishes, you have the opportunity to create a space that is entirely your own.

The Benefits of Building Custom

1. Personalization: Enjoy the freedom to select floor plans, materials, and finishes that resonate with your personal style. Our team will work closely with you to bring your vision to life.
2. Quality Craftsmanship: When you choose to build a custom home with Ridgestone Homes, you’re choosing exceptional quality. We use premium materials and employ skilled craftsmen to ensure that your home stands the test of time.
3. Energy Efficiency: Our custom homes are designed with energy efficiency in mind. We incorporate sustainable materials and the latest technology, helping you save on utility bills while reducing your environmental footprint.
4. Location Flexibility: Choose the perfect location for your new home. Whether it’s in a vibrant neighborhood or a serene rural setting, we can help you find a lot that suits your lifestyle.
5. Future-Proofing: With a custom build, you can plan for the future. We consider your long-term needs—whether it’s additional space for a growing family or features that enhance accessibility.

Key Considerations

Building a custom home is a significant investment that requires careful planning. Here are some important factors to keep in mind:

• Budgeting: Establishing a realistic budget is crucial. Our team can help you navigate costs, from construction to permits, ensuring there are no surprises along the way.
• Timeline: Every custom home is unique, and timelines can vary based on design complexity and permitting processes. We’ll provide you with a clear timeline so you know what to expect at each stage of construction.

What is Design-Build?

The design-build method integrates both the design and construction phases into one cohesive process.

At Ridgestone Homes, we understand that as families grow and lifestyles change, so do your housing needs. That’s why we specialize in designing and constructing laneway and garden suites—innovative solutions that provide additional living space on your property while enhancing your home’s functionality and value.

What are Laneway and Garden Suites?

Laneway suites are small, self-contained homes built on the same property as a primary residence, typically located in the backyard or accessed via a laneway. Garden suites are similar but may be situated within a garden area and can vary in design. Both options offer flexible living arrangements for a variety of needs, including guest accommodations, rental income, or multi-generational living.

Benefits of Laneway and Garden Suites

• Additional Living Space: Whether you need extra room for guests, a home office, or a private living area for family members, these suites provide the perfect solution without the need to relocate.
• Rental Income Potential: Laneway and garden suites can be rented out, providing a valuable source of passive income. This can help offset mortgage costs and increase the overall value of your property.
• Increased Property Value: Adding a well-designed suite can enhance your property’s appeal and market value, making it a smart investment for the future.
• Flexibility and Functionality: These suites can be tailored to your specific needs, whether as a guest suite, a home office, or a creative studio. Their versatility makes them an excellent addition to any property.
• Sustainable Living: Laneway and garden suites promote sustainable living by maximizing existing urban spaces. They help reduce urban sprawl and encourage efficient land use while providing quality living options.

The Process of Building Laneway and Garden Suites

1. Consultation: Our journey begins with a consultation to discuss your needs and vision for the suite. We’ll help you explore design possibilities that suit your lifestyle and property.
2. Design: Our team will create a custom design that complements your existing home while maximizing space and functionality. We focus on aesthetics, accessibility, and practicality to ensure your suite meets your expectations.
3. Permitting and Regulations: Navigating local zoning laws and building codes is essential. We handle all necessary permits and ensure compliance with regulations, making the process hassle-free for you.
4. Construction: Our skilled craftsmen will bring your vision to life with attention to detail and quality. Throughout the construction process, we maintain open communication to keep you informed and involved.
5. Final Walk-Through: Upon completion, we’ll conduct a thorough walk-through with you to ensure that every aspect of your new laneway or garden suite meets your expectations.

At Ridgestone Homes, we are committed to building a better future through sustainable construction practices. Our net-zero homes are designed to produce as much energy as they consume over the course of a year, providing homeowners with an eco-friendly living solution that reduces environmental impact and energy costs.

What is a Net Zero Home?

A net-zero home is an energy-efficient house that generates renewable energy equal to or greater than the amount of energy it consumes. This is achieved through a combination of energy-efficient design, high-quality construction, and the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar panels.

• Environmental Impact: By generating your own energy, you contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, promoting a healthier planet.
• Increased Home Value: As energy efficiency becomes increasingly important to homebuyers, net-zero homes are likely to have a higher market value and attract more potential buyers.
• Enhanced Comfort: Net-zero homes are designed for optimal insulation and ventilation, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment year-round.
• Resilience: These homes are built to withstand changing climate conditions, providing a reliable living space regardless of external factors.

The Process of Building a Net Zero Home

1. Consultation: Our process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your vision, budget, and lifestyle needs. We’ll discuss the benefits of net-zero living and how it can work for you.
2. Design: Our team will create a customized design focused on energy efficiency, maximizing natural light, and incorporating sustainable materials. We’ll ensure the layout aligns with your lifestyle while minimizing energy consumption.
3. Construction: Using high-quality materials and advanced construction techniques, we will build your net-zero home to the highest standards. Our team prioritizes energy-efficient systems, including insulation, windows, and heating/cooling solutions.
4. Renewable Energy Integration: We will integrate renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, into your home design to help you generate your own electricity and achieve net-zero status.
5. Final Walk-Through: Upon completion, we will conduct a thorough walk-through to ensure every detail meets your expectations and demonstrate how your home achieves net-zero energy consumption.
