FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Good decisions begin with clear answers.
These are useful starting points. Your project will always be discussed according to its site, scope and priorities.
What types of projects does OZ Homes take on?
OZ Homes focuses on custom homes, whole-home renovations, major additions and tailored interior transformations. Project fit is confirmed after reviewing the location, scope, timing and goals.
When should we contact you?
Early is best. A conversation before purchasing a property or finalizing drawings can help identify site considerations, construction implications and key decisions while there is still room to respond.
Can OZ Homes work with our architect or designer?
Yes. OZ Homes can collaborate with an existing architect or designer and coordinate construction input as the plans develop. If your team is not yet assembled, we can discuss the consultants suited to the project.
Can you review a lot before we purchase it?
A preliminary site conversation can identify issues worth investigating, including access, orientation, grading, servicing and the relationship between the property and the intended home. Formal due diligence may require surveyors, engineers or other specialists.
How is the project investment established?
An early working range is developed from the site, scope and design direction. It becomes more detailed as drawings, specifications and selections are completed. Clear scope and allowances help everyone understand what is included before construction begins.
How long does a custom home or major renovation take?
Timing depends on design development, approvals, project complexity, selections, site conditions and the construction season. OZ Homes develops a preliminary schedule once enough project information is available and keeps it updated as the work progresses.
How are selections managed?
Major exterior and interior decisions are organized into a selection schedule. This gives homeowners time to consider materials, fixtures and finishes while keeping purchasing and construction decisions moving in the right order.
What happens when we request a change?
Requested changes are reviewed for their effect on scope, cost and timing. Whenever possible, the change is documented and approved before the related work proceeds.
Can we remain in our home during a renovation?
That depends on the extent of demolition, access to essential services, safety and the construction sequence. OZ Homes discusses occupancy early so the project can be planned around the most practical arrangement.
Where does OZ Homes build?
OZ Homes serves Edmonton and surrounding communities, including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Beaumont, Leduc, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Fort Saskatchewan and select acreages. Availability is confirmed for each project.
