Our Valued Clients
Tell Their Stories

We have been working with Gilbert + Burke over the last 3 years on the design and construction of our new home on Lake Simcoe. I think one of the most remarkable things is that as the project draws to a close, we will be sorry to say goodbye to the Team. We have very much enjoyed working with this team, even when the inevitable bumps in the road happened. We have never doubted that they had our best interest at heart, and knew they were working to give us the very best home they could within the budget. We love our new home and we have lots of good memories of working through the project. Thank you Gilbert + Burke for making our family dream a reality.

Custom Home FAQ’s

What is meant by a “custom home”?

Custom refers to the fact that a client designs both the interior and the exterior, with our expert assistance of course. Luxury refers to the fact that usually it is complete with high-end finishes ex. flooring, windows, fixtures, etc.

How Big Is The Typical Custom Home?

The majority of our projects are between 1500-3000 sqft of interior living space, not including a basement (which not all builds have). Some are as high as 10,000 or more. However, size doesn’t play as much of a factor as complexity of the design and scope of the project.

What Are Key Features To Include In A Home?

“Typical” features are the usual bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen… but they are all fairly luxurious or high end. Some more unique features would be a wine fridge or a wine cellar, waterfall bathroom fixtures, theatre room, sauna, outdoor tennis court/sports court, outdoor kitchens and entertainment spaces.

What Is Gilbert + Burke’s Starting Price To Build A Custom Home In Ontario?

We don’t have a “starting” price because every project depends on the custom features you want to include. Contact us here to get your quote and pricing started!

What Should I Look For In A Good Contractor For Building My Custom Home?

You want to be aware of the “normal” contractor things like keeping promises, not cutting corners, using quality building materials, having excellent construction techniques, and more. Here at Gilbert + Burke, we bring all of this and something else to the table: relationships. We don’t view your home as another project – we view it as a way to learn to know your family and help your dream home come true!

How Fast Can Gilbert + Burke Typically Build A Custom Home?

It usually depends on the complexity of the design and the size of the build, but from start of design, through project development, to completed construction in typically 12-18 months.

How Much Can I Customize My Home With Gilbert + Burke?

Our builds are 100% customized to what our clients ask us for and are willing to pay for.

What Is Gilbert + Burke’s General Process In Building A Custom Home?

We begin with the initial consultation, followed by a preliminary concept design, and then project development. Once everything is approved, we break ground and start building your dream home!
