Custom Home Builder in Ottawa

A custom home should be built around the way you live. Bates Construction Group works with your architect or designer, or one of our Ottawa design partners, to turn your plans into a finished home, with a clear budget from the start.

Our custom home process

  1. Planning and budget: we build a detailed budget early and coordinate design, engineering and permits. Scope and selections are finalized before construction starts.
  2. Construction: a dedicated project manager coordinates trades, inspections and quality control, and every change is priced and approved in writing.
  3. Finishing and walkthrough: we focus on precision in every finish and walk through the home with you before handing over the keys.
  4. Warranty and support: new homes are backed by Tarion warranty coverage, and we stay available as you settle in.

Why clients choose Bates for custom homes

  • HCRA-registered builder with more than 35 years of experience
  • An owner who is a CPA, so budgets stay transparent and every dollar is accounted for
  • Experience translating architects' and designers' drawings into finished homes
  • A shared client portal for progress, selections and documents

Frequently asked questions

How much does a custom home cost in Ottawa? It depends on size, design and finishes. We build a detailed budget during planning, before construction starts, so you know where the money goes.

Do I need my own architect? No. You can bring your own, or we can introduce you to designers we work with. See design-build.

How long does it take to build a custom home? Design and permitting often take several months, and construction typically takes around a year depending on size and complexity. We give you a schedule during planning.
