How a custom home project works

What to expect when you get started.

Your designer stays involved throughout the project and coordinates the work, including licensed trades when they are needed.

Consultation

Sit down with our team to talk through your vision, your lot and your budget. No commitment.

Choose a starting point

Browse over 100 home, cottage and garage plans right on this site and shortlist the ones that fit. Or bring your own plans.

Customize

Our BCIN-certified designers tailor the plan and show you 3D renderings before anything is built.

Permits

We prepare stamped, permit-ready blueprints that meet the Ontario Building Code.

Materials

Your full building package is delivered to the lot, boom truck and all, when you need it.

Build and keys

We stay involved through the build and on-site checks, right up to the day you get the keys.

Our guarantee

On time and on budget, in writing.

A custom build is a big commitment, so we back ours in writing. You get locked-in material pricing, code-compliant quantities, and one accountable team from the first plan to the final inspection.

  • Your material pricing is locked in for the normal build window.
  • Quantities and quality meet the Ontario Building Code.
  • Manufacturer warranties are included on what we supply.
  • One team is accountable from first plan to final inspection.

Start with a type

What kind of home are you building?

Every Beaver plan is a starting point, not a fixed design. Pick the type that fits how you want to live, then browse the plans in that collection and make one your own.

Already have plans?

Bring your own design, we'll take it from there.

You don't have to start from a Beaver plan. If you already have drawings, or just a rough idea on paper, our BCIN-certified designers can work from what you have, prepare stamped, permit-ready blueprints for the Kingston area, and supply the materials for the build.

Building a home is a big undertaking. Our team guides you from the first sketch to the final inspection, so you can build with confidence instead of guesswork.

100+ plans, made yours

Start from over 100 home, cottage and garage plans, then adjust the layout, footprint and finishes to fit your lot and budget. Every plan is a starting point, not a fixed design.

Designed in-house, BCIN-certified

Our certified designers handle the drawings, 3D renderings and permit-ready blueprints, so your plan is code-compliant from day one. Already have your own design? We can work from that too.

Materials and guidance, start to finish

We supply the whole package and stay with you from planning through build, with boom-truck delivery and on-site checks along the way.

Backed for the long haul

Packages include lifetime-guaranteed windows and doors and limited-lifetime roofing, so the big components are covered for years.

Common Kingston custom home questions

Things people ask before starting.

Have another question? Call the Beaver Homes & Cottages team at (613) 372-2931 or book a free consultation.

Can I customize a home or cottage plan?

Yes. Every plan is a starting point, not a fixed design. Pick one of our 100+ plans and our BCIN-certified designers help you change the layout, footprint and finishes until it fits your lot and how you want to live.

I already have my own plans. Can you help?

Yes. You don't have to start from a Beaver plan. If you already have drawings, or just a rough idea on paper, our BCIN-certified designers can work from what you have, prepare stamped, permit-ready blueprints for the Kingston area, and supply the materials for the build. Blueprint-only work is welcome too.

What's included in a building package?

Your home building package covers the materials from foundation to finishes: framing, roofing, siding, windows, doors, flooring, kitchen and more, plus permit handling, on-site inspections and boom-truck delivery to your Kingston-area lot.

What does the On-Time, On-Budget Guarantee cover?

Your material pricing is locked in for the normal build window, quantities and quality meet the Ontario Building Code, and manufacturer warranties are included. You know what you're getting before you start.

Do you handle the design and permits?

Yes. Design is done in-house by BCIN-certified designers, including 3D renderings and stamped, permit-ready blueprints for the Kingston area.

Do you offer garages and secondary suites too?

Yes. Garage packages and secondary-suite plans, for in-law or rental space, are part of our custom build lineup, with the same design and material support.
