Custom Home Construction in Richmond Hill
As a custom home builder, we manage your project from first site visit through occupancy, with architect, interior designer, and construction manager sharing one plan. Bayview Hill and Mill Pond offer mature, teardown-ready lots, while Oak Ridges in the city’s north end brings larger properties and Oak Ridges Moraine environmental review into the picture — we confirm which zoning by-law and approvals apply to your specific site before any design work begins. See our Custom Home Construction page for our full design-build process.

How We Handle Permits & Approvals in Richmond Hill
We confirm which version of the City’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law 93-25 currently governs your specific property before any design work — it’s been going through a phased Ontario Land Tribunal approval process throughout 2026, so this confirmation is a genuine early step rather than a formality. Where your lot is near the Oak Ridges Moraine, we identify and manage any additional environmental review upfront, so it’s built into your timeline from the start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which zoning by-law currently applies to my Richmond Hill property?
We confirm the current applicable framework for your specific property before design begins — this depends on your location, since the City’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law has been going through a phased Ontario Land Tribunal approval process.
Does building near the Oak Ridges Moraine require extra approvals?
We assess this during our initial site review — properties near the moraine may require additional environmental review beyond standard zoning and building permit approval.
How long does custom home construction take in Richmond Hill?
Typically 14 to 24 months from initial design engagement to occupancy for our projects, depending on site conditions, applicable zoning framework, and permit timelines.
Can I get written zoning confirmation before committing to a design in Richmond Hill?
Yes. We obtain written zoning confirmation from the City as an early step in every custom home project, particularly given the current zoning by-law transition.
