Whether you're building your first home or your fifth, we provide the structure, guidance, and support to make every decision feel confident and informed.
Many of our clients are embarking on a custom build for the first time. The process can feel overwhelming — budgets, permits, selections, trades. Our role is to demystify every step, translate every decision, and ensure you always feel like you're in control of your own project.
We help you understand what things actually cost in today's market — materials, labour, site-specific factors — so your budget is built on reality, not wishful thinking.
Every build involves tradeoffs. We help you identify what to invest in for long-term value — and where a smart compromise saves money without sacrificing quality.
From flooring to plumbing fixtures to exterior cladding — we guide you through every selection with our curated vendor relationships and design sensibility.
We set realistic schedules and keep them. You'll know every milestone in advance — and be the first to know if anything shifts and why.
Architectural drawings can be intimidating. We walk you through every detail so you can visualize your home before it's built — and catch anything that doesn't feel right.
With a detailed, itemized budget and real-time tracking, you always know where your money is going. No shock invoices. No hidden costs. Just clarity.
Luxury doesn't always mean expensive — it means intentional. We work with a range of budgets, always focused on delivering the highest quality within your means.
The ranges below are illustrative starting points. Your actual budget will be shaped by site conditions, design complexity, remote access requirements, and your selections. We'll give you an honest picture from day one.
Discuss Your BudgetA thoughtfully designed home with quality finishes, guided selections, and full construction management. Ideal for clients building for the first time with a defined budget.
$350 – $500 / sq ftFull design collaboration, premium material selections, and bespoke detailing throughout. The True Line signature experience.
$500 – $850 / sq ftHard-to-reach locations, challenging terrain, or off-grid requirements add logistical complexity — and cost. We plan for this honestly, upfront.
Starting from $500+ / sq ftRenovations vary widely. We scope each project carefully and provide itemized estimates so you can make informed decisions about what to include.
Scoped per projectThe selection process is one of the most rewarding parts of building a custom home — and one of the most overwhelming, if you're not guided through it. We make it systematic, organized, and enjoyable.
Using a detailed selections schedule, we walk through every category of your home in sequence, making sure nothing is missed and nothing is rushed. Our supplier relationships give you access to the quality and breadth of options you'd expect from a luxury build.
The bones of your home — foundation type, framing system, insulation strategy, and roofing — selected for durability, energy performance, and aesthetic.
The details that define how your home feels every day. Flooring, millwork, tile, and paint selections are coordinated with your interior designer.
High-use spaces that deserve careful planning. We guide fixture, fitting, and appliance selections to balance aesthetics, function, and budget.
Heating, cooling, lighting, and smart home systems — planned to perform for decades and sized correctly for your lifestyle and site.
Driveways, retaining walls, drainage, patios, and landscaping elements — planned from day one to integrate with the home design and site conditions.
As involved as you want to be. Some clients visit the site weekly; others prefer to receive our progress reports and check in at key milestones. We accommodate both approaches and everything in between. What we won't do is make decisions without you — we'll always bring choices to you, with our recommendation clearly stated.
Changes during construction are a normal part of the process. We handle them through a formal change order system — documenting the change, the cost impact, and the schedule impact before we proceed. Nothing changes without your written approval. Early changes cost less, so we encourage clients to flag anything on their mind as soon as they think of it.
Not at all. Many clients come to us with nothing more than a vision and a property. We can connect you with designers and architects we trust and have worked with before — or work alongside your existing team. Early involvement in the design process is actually one of the ways we add the most value.
Remote projects are a specialty, not a reluctant capability. We have the equipment, logistics experience, and supplier relationships to manage construction in off-road, coastal, island, and mountainous locations. Our planning for remote sites starts earlier and goes deeper — accounting for access, material staging, crew accommodations, and extended lead times for specialty materials.
A custom residential build typically takes 12–24 months from permit issuance to completion, depending on size, complexity, and site conditions. Remote projects may take longer due to access and logistics. We provide a detailed project schedule at the outset and update it throughout construction — and we work hard to hit every milestone we set.
We provide a comprehensive warranty package, a home owner manual, and a final walkthrough that covers every system and feature of your home. Our relationships with our clients extend well past completion — we're available to answer questions, address warranty items, and assist with any issues that arise as you settle in.
Tell us where you are in the process. Whether you have a site, a set of plans, or just an idea — we're here to help you take the next step.
