Our foundation for success lies in transparent processes, timely communication, and quality craftsmanship.

How Does It Work
The journey to your custom home begins with completing the initial contact form. Once submitted, we’ll reach out to schedule a time to connect. This introductory call will help us understand your goals, budget, and timeline, setting the stage for the entire custom home build process.
Following our initial call, we’ll reach out to collaborate with your architect or designer. If you don’t have one in place, we can recommend some of our favorite professionals to assist you.
Once we’ve collaborated with you on a design plan and finalized the details, we’ll send you our Services Agreement. This agreement will outline the necessary permits, estimating, and design meetings required before we break ground. You’ll also receive access to our Construction Management Software platform, which will keep all project details organized and easily accessible.
The planning phase involves initial consultations, site assessments, and a deep dive into your vision. We’ll work together to create a detailed roadmap for your custom home project.
In the design phase, we’ll collaborate with architects and designers to develop comprehensive blueprints and 3D renderings. Your feedback will be integral to refining the design and ensuring it aligns with your expectations for your custom home.
This is just the beginning of a comprehensive process designed to make your custom home vision a reality. Each step is carefully planned to meet your expectations and build a custom home you’ll love for years to come.
With the plan in place, the team assembled, and all permits secured, we’re ready to move into the building phase of your custom home build. Our focus now shifts to executing the project timeline and bringing your vision to life.
During this phase, you’ll receive regular updates on your project’s progress. We provide weekly and sometimes daily updates, including photos, through our Construction Management Software.
This platform also keeps you informed about all bills, invoices, and quotes, ensuring you’re always up-to-date with the budget and project timeline.
Our role as home builders involves managing all aspects of the home construction process. We take care of securing permits, coordinating with subcontractors, and overseeing every detail of the build. Quality assurance is a key part of our approach. We provide regular progress reports and updates to ensure precision and attention to detail at every step. Our commitment to quality means we maintain high standards throughout the custom home build.
This phase is crucial for translating your custom home design into reality. Our team is dedicated to delivering a high-quality home that meets your expectations and reflects your vision.
Before we sign off on your custom home build, we’ll conduct a comprehensive walk-through with you. This thorough inspection will help us identify and address any items requiring finishing touches, ensuring everything meets your expectations.
New Leaf Contracting is dedicated to making sure that when you step into your new home, you can relax and enjoy it knowing all the details have been taken care of. Our goal is to make your home move-in ready by addressing any final touches and ensuring that the space is fully prepared for you to start life in your new custom home.
Once everything is complete, we’ll hand over the keys and finalize the process, allowing you to begin your new chapter with peace of mind.
Step-by-Step Guide: Simplified explanation of the building process from consultation to completion.
We begin with an initial consultation to understand the client’s goals and requirements. This meeting sets the foundation for a successful project by aligning our approach with the client’s vision.
The final steps include thorough walk-throughs, inspections, and ensuring client satisfaction. We take pride in delivering projects that exceed expectations and foster long-lasting client relationships.
Wouldn’t we all like to know. The truth is a custom home is just that – custom. It’s unique to the client’s design, size and personal selection preferences. From windows, siding, flooring, lighting, cabinets, down to hinges and handles there are a multitude of options, all of which come in a range of availability, quality and cost. The site geography and topography are also contributing factors that impact the site preparation budget. Contact us today to set up a call to discuss what pricing range may be applicable to your lot and current design.
Every project presents its own distinctive timeline and unknown variables are inevitable. However, in general we like to prepare our clients for the following timelines:
Share your design plans with us to get a more accurate new build timeline.
The mechanical system serves as the lungs of the house. It brings in fresh air and moves stale air out. New homes are required to meet various requirements of the province of BC’s Energy Step Code. Regardless of which step a particular jurisdiction requires, new homes are more airtight than many existing homes. The result is a more efficient home, which is better able to maintain temperature changes, however, it can also result in less passive air flow. Therefore, a properly designed mechanical system plays a vital role in your home's energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
As soon as possible. Each selection will have different measurements and installation details that are necessary for our building team to know in advance. Having a design and layout plan allows for more efficient project execution and helps to stay on schedule.
The Province of BC Homeowner Protection Regulation aims to protect homeowners by requiring builders to be licenced and carry sufficient insurance. New Leaf Contracting works with Pacific Home Warranty Insurance provider. The new home warranty covers:
Similar to building a new home, each renovation will present different factors that will impact a budget. Such as room size, age of the home, water or other material damage and the extent of the renovation. Finishing selection details (faucets, tile, toilet, etc.) come in a range of options and cost. Also important to understand is that bathrooms - and kitchens - require nearly all building trades to be involved (plumbing, electrical, dry wall, tile, paint, carpentry). Having an experienced project manager is critical to coordinate a timely execution. New Leaf Contracting has over 15 years of experience managing such projects. Our team of reliable and skilled trades ensures you can focus on your life while we work to deliver your newly renovated space.
Most likely, yes. There are rare times when it’s not required, however, having a renovation properly documented protects the long-term investment of the homeowner (e.g. resale). It also ensures the project will meet all required building codes. New Leaf Contracting believes in doing the job correctly once and delivering a product that’s built for life.
