New Home Construction in Windsor

New Home Construction for Windsor homes

Windsor's housing ranges from early-1900s homes in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions. In Windsor, new home construction often means infill building: replacing an older home or building on a vacant lot in an established neighbourhood. Infill projects require careful attention to zoning, neighbouring properties, utility connections and site access, and we plan for all of them before breaking ground.

What's included

Custom homes and infill builds managed from site preparation and foundation to final finishes. Depending on your project, the work can include:

• Pre-construction planning
• Site work and foundations
• Structure and envelope
• Interior construction
• Trade coordination
• Infill and replacement homes
• Consultation.
• Pricing and contract.
• Approvals.
• Construction.
• Completion.

Full details, our process and common questions are on our main new home construction page.

Local conditions in Windsor

Many established Windsor neighbourhoods have narrow lots, laneways and homes built close to side property lines. That makes zoning setbacks, lot coverage, site access and neighbouring structures important early considerations for additions, garages and new builds.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for new home construction in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Is the builder licensed by the HCRA, and will the home be enrolled with Tarion?
• Which costs are fixed and which are allowances?
• How will selections be scheduled so they don't delay the build?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's building department, and zoning rules come from the City's zoning by-law. Requirements depend on the scope of work, so we confirm what applies to your project during planning and handle applications for the work we're doing.
