Rockhaven Builds Custom Homes

When it comes to custom home building, Rockhaven stands out as a leading custom home builder. Below are the five key elements that Rockhaven commits to when we build your custom home:

Schedule: It has been said that the 3 most important requirements for a successful custom home building project are schedule, schedule, and schedule. And we agree; schedule is crucial. Staying on schedule eliminates the need to find alternate housing, reduces coordination time, enables better quality, promotes safety, and is better for the budget. That’s why we provide a detailed Client Decision Schedule before construction begins. We guide our clients through early decisions that ease stress, make the project more enjoyable and ensure on-time completion of their custom built home. 

Quality: The quality of your custom home is of utmost importance. We achieve exceptional quality through detailed and comprehensive Scopes of Work for each subcontractor. These are overseen by our Site Managers to ensure adherence to our high standards – often surpassing building code requirements. A quality-built custom home by Rockhaven stands the test of time, enduring weather and the wear from generations, ensuring that it’s not just a house but a lasting home.

Budget: we recognize the significance of budgets. From the modest to the majestic, we work with your family’s budget. This ensures your custom home’s design, features, finishes, and style are realized and aligned with your financial plan. By initiating budget discussions in the pre-construction phase, we prevent financial surprises and wasted time and maximize the value of your money.

Accuracy: Precision in building your custom home is critical at Rockhaven. We meticulously follow the approved plans and specifications generated through the Design Plus Program™. Any alterations are priced and approved before moving forward. Our commitment to accuracy minimizes surprises, ensuring that your custom home is built exactly to your specifications.

Safety: Safety is a core principle and essential to our custom home-building process. We adhere to the Rockhaven Homes Safety Policy and Ministry of Labour requirements. Our workers are trained and covered by WSIB and Insurance. Our safety record provides low-cost insurance and is a testament to our commitment as responsible custom home builders.

Just one method for measuring the joy of building your dream!
