Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners planning a custom build with WrightHaven Homes.

Do I need to involve a real estate agent for a custom build project?

No. Initial conversations happen directly with our WrightHaven sales team. Just book an appointment and we’ll gather everything needed to begin the design process.

How much does it cost to build a custom home with WrightHaven?

Most WrightHaven custom design-build projects run $300–$500 per square foot, depending on size, complexity, and finishes. Lot improvements such as wells, septic systems, clearing, and utility installation are additional. We provide a detailed budget once your design direction is established.

Can I use my own trades and suppliers?

At WrightHaven, we use our own vetted trades to maintain quality, scheduling, and cost control. If you have a trade with whom we’ve successfully worked before, we’ll consider it on a case-by-case basis.

What is the payment structure for a custom design-build home?

Progress draws are tied to construction milestones — typically around 10% deposit, 20% at foundation, 20% at close-in, 20% at drywall, 20% at exterior and occupancy completion, with the balance due net 30. Schedules can be coordinated with your lender’s draw releases.

Can you build on my lot, or do I need to purchase one of yours?

Both. WrightHaven builds on client-owned lots throughout Fergus, Elora, and the surrounding area, and we also offer custom build opportunities within our own communities such as Granwood Gate, Cherrywood Estates, Pasture Edge, and more.

WrightHaven designed and built our new home and we could not be happier with all aspects of the work that this team did. From the overall housing development with its focus on energy efficient homes to the individual design and attention to details and work, WrightHaven exhibited outstanding results and exceeded our expectations. Kudos to Steve, Kali, Adriana, Lisa, Sarah, Shane, and WH's entire site team (and contractors) - great job!

We built our home with WrightHaven in 2018. It was a great experience from beginning to end. Having been first time home buyers, the sales team was very patient and honest with us. There were no surprises in terms of price and upgrades. The design team helped us choose beautiful colors and styles for our interior and exterior. We never felt rushed and they helped us stay within our budget. The home is QUALITY built. We had a couple minor issues come up (all expected in a new home) after a year that the builder quickly and efficiently resolved. We love our home and don't plan on moving yet. However, if we did, we would build with WrightHaven again.

This is a long, overdue review.

I can not say enough good things about WrightHaven! We purchased our home in the midst of the pandemic, which created many issues in the industry. This did not prevent Wrightaben from delivering a beautiful, well constructed home that we absolutely love.

Steve takes great pride in his homes, and it shows.

The entire team has been wonderful to deal with over the last year and a half for any small fixes that were needed (very normal for a new build to have some small items that need to be repaired after possession). Even items that I expected some pushback with were not an issue at all and fixed in a timely manner.

We hired a home inspector to complete our 1 year warranty inspection. The inspector confirmed that we had chosen one of the best builders (one of only 2 that he personally would consider working with). Any issues identified in the report were minor cosmetic issues.

This builder has definitely set the bar high, and if we ever decide to purchase a new build again, I hope we have the pleasure of working with WrightHaven.

If you are considering a WrightHaven home, you won't be disappointed!!

Awesome builder! Exceptionally professional team!
WrightHaven built our NetZero home. It's a masterpiece! The best home for the next generation! We love it!
We had great experience from our contact with the sales representative to the amazing designers up to closing. Our home was ready weeks before closing!
We are enjoying every bit of our ultramodern, highly efficient hi-tech home at next to zero hydro bill and ultimate comfort.
Thank you for making our dream home come true!

The Chymer

I am writing this review to highly recommend WrightHaven Homes! Our experience with WrightHaven Homes has been extremely positive, and we love the special home they built for our family. From guiding us in choosing the plan, to modifying the design to meet our needs, to producing a beautiful, functional and lovely environment for our family to call home, we found their expertise, commitment and support to be wonderful.
My retired husband and I decided a few years ago to build a three generational home with 2 daughters and two grandchildren. This meant adding a lower level apartment and deck, and designing both of these to maximize the flexibility and use in all the areas of the house. In the case of designing and building the lower level living space, we required a 2 bedroom fully independent apartment with kitchen, laundry, separate entrance, and many other features. The entire plan was carefully thought out and designed to make it perfect for us. We cannot imagine being happier with the planning and building process, and especially the final outcome!
We feel WrightHaven fulfilled their promise to us of building a home for all three of our generations to enjoy for the years ahead. They have exceeded our expectations and we are happy to recommend them!

My husband and I have had such a great experience with WrightHaven! Rachel and Sarah helped us with the initial purchase and were so knowledgeable and patient with all of our questions. Kali and Emily have been an absolute joy to work with. They have both been professional, honest and respond to our questions via e-mail/phone promptly. Natalie, Martina, and Jordan from Xanadu were so helpful and always accessible. Last but not least, Lisa and Niki led us through the final walkthrough and were so professional and genuine. The WrightHaven team has done an amazing job, leading us through the construction and design phases of our new home, and we would recommend them in a heartbeat. There´s always uncertainty with a new built, but WrightHaven´s team makes it enjoyable and FUN! Thank you for all of your hard work and expertise!! Our house truly feels like a home. We don't want to think about moving, but if we ever decide to, it will be at another WrightHaven home.
