Most homeowners think building starts with design.
It doesn’t.
It starts with strategy.
Before You Draw Plans, Ask:
• What does zoning actually allow?
FSR, setbacks, height limits, laneway options.
• What will structural complexity cost?
Rooflines, spans, glazing – they add up fast.
• Is Energy Step Code integrated early?
Wall assemblies and mechanical planning matter.
• Have you accounted for site conditions?
Servicing, grading, soil, utilities.
• Is your contract structure clear?
Cost-Plus? Fixed? GMP?
The difference between a smooth build and a stressful one is alignment, design and construction working together from day one.
At Unlock Real Estate & Construction, we build with clarity before we build with concrete.
