Oakville Real Estate Lawyers Advising Homeowners on Design-Build Custom Homes

Designing and building a custom home is likely the largest single investment you will make in your life. Negotiating with the company that is crafting your dream home can be tough, particularly if you do not have experience dealing with architects, designers, contractors, subcontractors, builders, and others in the construction industry.

If you are seeking to use the design-build method to create your ideal home, it is important to consult with a knowledgeable lawyer who can advise you on potential areas of risk and liability, ensure that a project runs on schedule, proactively address potential problems, and protect your investment.

At Campbells LLP, we are among a few practitioners in the province who regularly counsel clients on design-build projects. Our niche area of focus allows us to provide pragmatic and practical advice to homeowners. We are trusted advisors to many happy homeowners in Oakville and the surrounding areas.

What is Design-Build?

A homeowner using the design-build method hires one company that both designs and builds a custom home. The design-build method, also known as the master builder method, streamlines the project through one single contract between the owner and the design-build team and is intended to foster teamwork and collaboration between everyone involved. The goal is to complete the build on a faster, more cost-effective timeline.
