Things to consider with your Toronto custom dream home

 

The idea of a Toronto custom dream home always brings a smile and excitement to every person thinking of it. The thought merely creates an aura of eagerness and a creative idea of what the house will look like. A fiery wonder escapes from a person’s mind every time the thought of it enters the senses. A dream home is like a specific treasure that only the person thinking of it wants it. Imagination kindles the mind to think creatively and dream of this masterpiece. May it be a simple or a luxury house a person has in mind, it is still fascinating to wonder what kind and specific home would be done using that imagination alone. The ideas are endless, and there are many different Toronto custom dream homes that are beautiful, splendid, and simultaneously unique.

What should be considered when building your Toronto custom dream home?

Below are the things to be considered in building your dream home:

  • Location of the house
  • Size of house
  • Budget
  • Resell value
  • Design and architect
  • Space and Storage
  • Construction and builder
  • Finishing materials

 

Before we think of the design and structure of the dream house, these things must be kept in mind. Building a home is like creating a recipe for delicious food. Every ingredient must be carefully, thoroughly prepared and planned to make it appetizing to the one who will eat it. This concept is just the same as building your dream home. Every material needed for its construction should be selected appropriately to avoid any mishap or delay when the house is finally done. Every part of the house must be checked first. Comprehensive knowledge of home building should be taken seriously before planning your dream house. An understanding leads to the idea of what ways to do for it to work.

For example, if the house is built on an expansive lot, its interior should have a wide hallway and entrance. A more convenient way is this, especially if the family or families who will occupy the house is large in number. It will also comfort the older family members so they can move freely and not be suffocated. The electrical outlets should also be checked, like the light switches in every room, to avoid unexpected electrical short circuits or fires caused by a defective switch or electrical outlet. A qualified electrician is recommended to check these outlets.

The drainage should be in proper order. Faucets and adequate water supplies are necessary for the family living inside the house. A poor or defective drainage system will result in inadequate water supply and, in worse cases, flooding inside the house. A storage area should also be a priority of the owner. A Toronto custom dream home should be secured from all these problems, and all considerations must be aligned before building your house.

We worked with Chris Smith and Woodsmith Construction Inc. on a large-scale renovation of our east-end semi and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product. The project included adding a third floor, underpinning the basement, and updating the interior throughout the house. Chris handled both the design and the build, and he is incredibly knowledgeable about all stages of the process. He was professional and responsive and always had our best interests at heart. His team was hard-working and respectful and they were all a pleasure to work with.Chris was professional, calm, and reasonable in working with our neighbours at all stages of the process and earned a very positive reputation among people on the street who saw the process and admired the result. The final product maintains the same exterior character of the home while updating the interior and making it a hundred times more functional for our family. It is a total transformation from what it used to be and we thank Chris for his vision and guidance throughout the process.Chris and his team were organized, professional, and always on top of the details. They kept us in the loop throughout the project and made sure everything was done to the highest standard. We would not hesitate to recommend Woodsmith to anyone undertaking a residential renovation – he is one of the hardest-working people we know and we are very grateful for his expertise and dedication.

Woodsmith construction just completed a gut job and garage addition for my husband and I and it was the best experience I could have hoped for especially given all the renovation horror stories we have heard. They were so professional, helpful, diligent and responsive and the quality of the renovation was first class. I would recommend anyone to hire Woodsmith construction for all their needs whether it is a renovation or a new build. We could not be happier with the outcome and our newly renovated home.

We worked with Chris Smith and Woodsmith Construction Inc. on the design for a garage addition, and the experience was fantastic. The project included adding attic trusses to create a new walk-in closet and laundry room that seamlessly connected to our existing main bedroom. Chris’s goal was to make the addition feel like it had always been part of the home, and he absolutely nailed it.From the start, Chris took the time to understand what we needed and came up with a design that not only maximized the functionality of the space but also kept the style consistent with the rest of the house. He paid close attention to every detail, from the layout to the finishes, ensuring everything worked perfectly with our main bedroom.The design makes such smart use of the space, and it feels like a natural extension of the home rather than an afterthought. Chris was great to work with—responsive, creative, and incredibly knowledgeable. He even provided advice on how to approach the construction phase, which made us feel confident moving forward.If you’re looking for someone to bring your vision to life with a thoughtful and practical design, we highly recommend Chris Smith and Woodsmith Construction. The design he created for us has truly enhanced our home. Our construction is well under way and we are already seeing the great design come to life!
