Our Design Build Process
At Master Edge Homes, we treat every project as though it were our own home. From the first design conversation to the day we hand over the keys, we are with you every step of the way, making sure the experience is as exceptional as the finished result.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Every great renovation starts with a conversation. During our one to two hour on-site visit, we take the time to truly understand how you live in your home, what you love about it, and what you need to change. We will ask about your lifestyle, your future plans, and your vision, and we will bring our own ideas to the table as well.
We will also talk honestly about budget, giving you a clear sense of realistic costs and timelines for a project like yours before you commit to anything. The right fit matters as much as the right design, and we want to make sure we are the right team for you.
From there, we set you up in our Client Care System, an interactive online tool that keeps you connected to your project at every stage, with real time updates, schedules, and a direct line to our team whenever you need it.
Step 2: Preliminary Design
Before a single line is drawn, we do our homework. We research your property restrictions, zoning requirements, and code compliance so there are no surprises down the road.
Then the real excitement begins. Working closely with you and your family, we bring your vision to life on paper through sketches, illustrated plans, elevations, and three dimensional renderings. This is where your renovation stops being an idea and starts becoming a home. Along the way, we refine costs and timelines so you have a clear and accurate picture of your project before we move forward.
Step 3: Design Presentation and Revisions
Good design deserves time and attention. During this stage we review the preliminary plans together, working through the details that shape both the look and the budget of your project. Room dimensions, window and door placement, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC routing all come into focus here, with an eye on making sure every decision keeps your project on scope and on budget.
This is a collaborative stage and we welcome every question. The more we refine together now, the smoother construction will be later.
Step 4: Structural Details and Permit Approvals
With the design refined and every detail confirmed, we prepare the final drawings including structural, HVAC, electrical, and all documentation required for your municipal building permit package.
We also schedule a walkthrough at your home with our team so everyone understands the full scope of your project before construction begins. This is where we present your fixed price proposal, a thorough and transparent investment outline with guaranteed hard costs so you can move forward with complete confidence and no surprises.
Step 5: Additional Details
This is one of the most enjoyable parts of the process. From the broader design vision right down to the railings, countertops, hardware, and paint colours, we work with you to make sure every detail reflects your taste and fits your budget.
Our project coordinators are with you throughout this stage, connecting you with our trusted partners and suppliers to find the right selections at the right price. Every choice is tracked and communicated through our Client Care System so nothing falls through the cracks and you always know exactly where things stand.
Step 6: Construction
This is where everything comes together, and for most of our clients it is the most exciting part of the entire journey. Whether you want to be closely involved or prefer to check in occasionally, our Client Care System keeps you connected at every stage with real time updates, itemized schedules, and a direct line to our team whenever you have a question.
Throughout construction you can expect the same attention to detail from our team and trusted trades partners the same attention to detail that has earned Master Edge Homes its reputation in Markham and York Region. We work diligently to deliver the quality you deserve, on budget and on schedule. And when the unexpected happens, because in renovation it sometimes does, our experienced team brings creative, practical solutions to the table so your project keeps moving forward with as little disruption as possible.
