Process FAQ Cobourg builder
A custom home or renovation in Northumberland should feel managed, not mysterious. Farwes Homes Ltd. keeps one project manager on your file from the first consultation through handover. Here is our process, and the questions clients in Cobourg, Port Hope, and Durham ask before they start.
We walk the lot or existing house, talk through how you live, and turn that into a plan you can price. Design-build means drawings and construction stay with the same Cobourg team.
We prepare what the township needs, sequence the work, and put numbers on paper before demolition or excavation starts. No surprise allowances buried in the fine print.
Framing, mechanicals, millwork, and finish are scheduled as one build. You get regular updates so a custom home or renovation in Cobourg does not go quiet for weeks.
We close the job with a proper walkthrough, a punch list that actually gets finished, and a house you can live in — not a site you are still babysitting.
