Do You Dream of Building a Home?

Can You Imagine Building a Home?

Would you rather build a home than buy one? Have you been thinking about the design? Maybe you’ve already drawn up plans. The Creemore, Stayner, Collingwood, and Wasaga Beach areas are perfect for building the home of your dreams.

A Very Unique Building Project

Crane Lifting a Roof

Local Architect, Jim Campbell of Rockside Design, designed this fantastic home with its million dollar views in mind.

The custom building team at RTalbot Carpentry of Creemore, took care of the construction.

The beautifully designed, 6000 square foot home, just outside of the picturesque village of Creemore, took just over a year to complete.

Raising the Roof

The roof structure you see in the video was pretty challenging. It consisted of large squared timbers in an X pattern with 2″ tongue and groove boards on top, plus insulation and ventilation. Built on the ground, it was then craned up two stories. Since it sits on four corner points, built on the walls, it had to be precisely placed on the ground so that it would sit perfectly in its final resting position. Despite the windy roof-raising day, everything went well. You can see the roof-raising, here.

If you’d like to design and build a home in the Creemore, Mulmur, Collingwood, or Wasaga Beach area, call today. I’ve got  many contacts in all the building trades, to help you. I will personally walk you through the process and help make sure the project gets done effectively.

Whether you want to buy vacant land to build a home, or you’d prefer a move-in ready home, call me today.

As a local realtor, I know the area well, and know what to look for and what to avoid in a property.

I look forward to meeting with you.

Have a terrific and successful New Years.
