General Questions
Where do you build? What is your service area?
We serve Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, including the city's west-end and Ottawa River waterfront communities, Prescott and Russell, and the Outaouais. Select projects beyond this are considered depending on scope and complexity.
How do I get started, and what is the very first step?
A short, no-obligation conversation about your project, your site and your goals. From there we can outline feasibility, budget and the right next steps before any commitment.
How many projects do you take on each year?
No more than two new homes a year, most often by introduction. Limiting the practice keeps the principal directly involved from the first drawings to final completion.
Will you work with my own architect or designer?
Yes. We work alongside your architect and interior designer — or help assemble the right team — and coordinate the whole so the design intent is carried faithfully into construction.
How will we communicate during the project?
Through regular, structured updates: schedule, cost against budget, and the decisions needed from you. You stay informed and in control without managing the trades yourself.
Can I see past projects and speak with references?
Yes. Selected projects are shown on the site, and client references are available on request as a project progresses.
What makes My Home Builders different from other builders?
The open-book agency model and a deliberately small workload. You hold every trade contract, nothing is marked up or hidden, and the principal is personally involved throughout — a practice accountable for the whole, not a fragment.
Do you build outside Ottawa, elsewhere in Eastern Ontario?
Yes — across Eastern Ontario, including Prescott and Russell and the Outaouais, and select projects further afield depending on scope. The best first step is a conversation about your site.
How do I book a consultation?
Reach us by phone, email or the enquiry form, with a few lines about your project's location, scope and timing. We reply quickly, and the first conversation carries no obligation.
