How long does it take to build a house?
About 5 months (from start of excavation to the end of the finishing). Note: you must allocate at least three months time to create a personalized plan before starting the construction.

Can someone visit my lot before making the plan?
A plan should never be made without the designer knowing the land. A site visit is a must and allows the designer to understand how the land will affect the plan (i.e. orientation to the sun, the view, slope, neighbouring architecture). Also, a site visit by a builder is required to properly estimate the cost of the project.

When should I start the process?
For a Spring start, we recommend starting the planning process at least the autumn before. Note: if you want to start construction in the spring, the soil tests (needed to obtain the permit) will have to be done in the fall before the ground freezes Most clients find they need a few months to design their plan.

What are the first steps?
The very first step is defining what you like. Browsing housing magazines will give you ideas. Clipping out images of homes you like and assembling them in a folder is very useful. The Viceroy catalogue can serve as a good resource. Listing what you like and dislike in your present home is also very good. The next step is to bring this information to your designer/builder to put into more concrete form.

Why choose the Viceroy system?
As opposed to using separate companies for plans, engineering, trusses, lumber, and windows, Viceroy integrates all these phases into one supplier. using Viceroy avoids material shortages or miscalculations, materials which don't fit the plan, and back orders. With the Viceroy system one company is responsible for the stages of plan, engineering, manufacture through to delivery.
