New Home Builds in Toronto

Embarking on a new home build can be a daunting experience. There are so many factors to consider, from land cost and planning, to design, materials and available labour.

So where do you start?

Kluod have been working with home builders in Ontario for over 20 years, delivering impartial, expert advice, with the aim of giving you the home of your dreams.

Here are the top five factors we look at when embarking on a new build property;


1. Your Budget

How much does it cost to build a new home in Toronto? It can vary depending on the location and land cost, but an average single-family home in Toronto could cost between $275,000 to $500,000 to build. That’s slightly more than Vancouver, but not by much (source: wowa.ca).

2. The Land

Choosing the perfect spot to build on can present any number of issues. Is the land suitable for the type of construction you have in mind? Does the land require specialist clearing, specific foundations or planning considerations? Is your desired land near the amenities and schools you and your family need? Or is it remote and rural enough to suit your lifestyle? Planning law in local areas need to be taken into consideration. Is your chosen site in a Greenbelt area and require special protections? Does it have existing dwellings which need protected? Choosing a plot of land to build on can come with many headaches. We are here to help. With in-depth knowledge and years of experience working in Toronto and surrounding areas, we can advise you on the next steps and even source new land for you.

3. The Design

Creating the right design for your new home is one of the most exciting parts of your new build. Being able to pull together a layout that works for you and your family, from scratch, is extremely rewarding. Our team of experienced designers and architects can walk with you every step of the way, offering plenty of added-value features, efficiencies insights, delivering you your dream home, far beyond your expectations.

4. The Materials

It’s no secret that the cost of materials has fluctuated dramatically, brought on in part by Covid-19 pandemic, not to mention geo-political issues and global turbulence. It can be difficult to nail down the right price of your materials and ensure you’re getting the best deal. Kluod work with hundreds of suppliers in the Toronto area and globally, constantly sourcing the best deal for you, without compromising on quality and efficiency.

5. Labour

Like materials, the cost and availability of labour has fluctuated in recent years, with many companies struggling to deliver on jobs due to lack of resources and on-site skills. We are proud to have maintained long-term relationships with some of Toronto’s most reliable, skilled and experienced tradespeople. With our contractors you can be sure to see projects delivered on time, as promised.
