Custom Home Builders in Peterborough, ON

Peterborough is the gateway to cottage country, and the builders here show it. Peterborough is a single-tier municipality, the City of Peterborough, and the 18 custom home builders reach into the Kawarthas, Stoney Lake and Rice Lake, with some going as far as Muskoka and Haliburton. Cottages and waterfront homes figure in the work of Fulcrum Custom Builders, de Blois Built Inc., Classic Construction, Discovery Dream Homes and Total Construction Management Services Inc., which makes the trade here different from a city where nearly every job is a suburban lot.

A shoreline or floodplain lot adds a step before building. Development in regulated natural hazard areas such as floodplains, shorelines, wetlands and watercourses needs a permit from the local conservation authority under the Conservation Authorities Act. That matters for waterfront and cottage lots, and a builder who works lakeside will know the process.
