Phase 1: Consultation
The first part of your journey begins with a free custom home consultation when building your dream home in Ottawa. This is a no-obligation, no-cost meeting that allows you to meet with our team and see if there is synergy between the both of us.
During this initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to share your vision by sharing your needs, preferences, lifestyle, inspiration and daily flow. It’s the perfect moment for you to share your vision, your pain points and much more to ensure clarity and alignment in the team’s execution.
At OakWood, we ensure that you are satisfied with the concept by having you agree with our conceptual designs before we launch your project.
Furthermore, there may need to be an on-site assessment to allow our team to evaluate the property to identify opportunities and obstacles for the construction process. This thorough site assessment and land surveying to ensures that there are no rocks unturned when it comes to improving the design or aesthetics of your dream home.
Phase 2: Concept Design
Collaborations is critical when it comes to the conceptual design phases. At OakWood, our custom home design services include client feedback sessions to give you the opportunity to refine any designs and ensure that we meet your expectations more precisely.
We also use state of the art 3D models and renderings that can be seen in VR so you can visualize your future home to the best of our abilities.
Our clients have the flexibility to tweak any designs before committing to the finalized construction plan. For example, this can be a great moment to let us know that you would be interested in high performance and energy efficient technologies, if you had previously forgotten to let us know.
Phase 3: Detailed Planning
Through careful planning and consideration, OakWood will come up with comprehensive construction plans. These are the blueprints that define the execution of the construction process and will act as the guidelines ensuring the team respects your preferences.
During the planning process, you will also be invited to select materials for your home at our design centre. We carry a range of high-quality materials that cater to people’s preferences (eco-friendly, sustainable, high quality, stylish) for their home.
We handle all the compliance, permit applications, zoning, and all tedious aspects involved at this stage. With OakWood you get a smooth and hassle-free process.
