Our Difference

Most Builders Disappear After Construction.
We Don't.

When you separate the architect from the builder from the contractor, you get three people with three different incentives — and nobody accountable when something goes wrong. That's the standard model.

AVL operates differently. We design it, build it, and stand behind it — for as long as you own it. Our Annual Home Care Program is a direct extension of that responsibility: the same team that built your home monitors and maintains it, year after year.

Our Story Start a Conversation

Single Point of Accountability

One team. One contract. No finger-pointing between trades, architects, or project managers when things need to be resolved.

Lifecycle Responsibility

From architectural concept to year-10 maintenance inspection — we are your long-term partner, not a transactional contractor.

Deep GTA Municipal Expertise

Toronto, North York, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Markham, Aurora, King City — we've navigated permits, TRCA requirements, and Committee of Adjustment processes across every municipality we serve.

Ali Ahadian

After several poor experiences with unreliable contractors, I was referred to AVL Custom Homes and immediately noticed a difference in their professionalism and technical expertise. Ali and his team consistently identify issues accurately and propose practical, cost-effective solutions.

I started with their Oversight Plan and later upgraded to the Concierge Plan after seeing their reliability, even for small issues and in difficult weather. Along with higher-level service, it brings real peace of mind for a busy homeowner. Based on this experience, I have also entrusted them with the maintenance of my office. I would recommend AVL Custom Homes to anyone seeking dependable and professional property oversight.

We hired AVL Custom Homes to manage and complete a full house renovation, including our kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring. From the start, they were easy to work with and very organized. Communication was clear, and we always knew what was happening next.

We also chose them for project management, and that turned out to be the right decision. Scheduling and coordination were handled smoothly, and the accounting was very transparent. As with any renovation, there were some unexpected costs, but everything was clearly explained in advance and there were no hidden charges. Ali was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain issues and suggest practical, cost-effective solutions when challenges came up.

Overall, the project was well managed from beginning to end, and we are very happy with the final result. We would recommend AVL Custom Homes to anyone looking for a reliable company to handle a full home renovation.

We recently signed up for the Gold Plan with AVL Custom Homes, and the first 'House Condition Report' was eye-opening. While scanning the house with a thermal camera, the team discovered a hidden leak in an exterior wall caused by a faulty roof downspout. We had no idea this issue existed for years!

The level of detail Ali and his team put into the deep inspection was impressive. It’s clear they truly care about the long-term health of the homes they manage. I highly recommend this service to any homeowner who wants professional, deep-dive maintenance and real peace of mind.

I have relied on AVL Custom Homes for years and wouldn't trust anyone else with my properties. They have handled everything for me—from a full custom build and residential renovations to commercial services and ongoing property maintenance. They even provide home oversight, which gives me total peace of mind.

I'll be honest: their pricing is a little higher than the market average, but the quality of work and the level of responsibility they take make it worth every penny. They are experts who know their job inside and out, and they always take the time to explain every detail. If you are looking for a professional in the GTA who delivers high-quality results and zero stress, AVL is the best choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom Home Building in Toronto — Common Questions

How long does it take to build a custom home in Toronto?
A luxury custom home in Toronto or the GTA typically takes 12 to 18 months from permit approval to completion. AVL Custom Homes uses disciplined project management to protect your timeline — anticipating seasonal delays and proactively navigating GTA municipal permit processes so your build stays on schedule.
What is a design-build contractor?
A design-build contractor like AVL Custom Homes manages the entire process under one roof — from architectural concepts and 3D visualization to navigating the Committee of Adjustment, TRCA requirements, and physical construction. This eliminates friction between architects and builders and provides a single point of accountability throughout your project.
What does the Annual Home Care Program include?
The AVL Annual Home Care Program is builder-led preventive maintenance for luxury homeowners across Toronto and the GTA. Services include thermal imaging inspections to detect hidden water damage and insulation gaps, HVAC coordination, seasonal property assessments, and access to our vetted trade partners — starting at $89 per month.
Is a home maintenance subscription worth it for luxury homeowners?
Yes — especially for high-value properties. Routine builder-led oversight prevents compounding failures. Identifying a minor roof intrusion or HVAC inefficiency early through thermal imaging can save tens of thousands of dollars compared to emergency structural remediation after the fact. Our clients consider it essential protection for their investment.
What does a major home renovation cost in Richmond Hill or Toronto?
Renovation costs vary based on scope — structural changes like open-concept beam installations differ significantly from a luxury bathroom transformation. AVL Custom Homes provides detailed feasibility assessments early in the process so you have full budget transparency before any commitment is made. Contact us for a project-specific discussion.
Builder's Guide

Custom Home Building in Toronto & the GTA

Building a luxury custom home in Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area requires precise navigation of local bylaws, conservation authority requirements, and municipal development charges — each of which varies significantly across the twelve GTA municipalities we serve.

Ask a Question

How Long Does It Take to Build a Custom Home in Toronto?

A luxury custom home in Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area typically takes 12 to 18 months from permit approval to completion. As a premier design-build contractor in Toronto, AVL Custom Homes uses disciplined project management to protect your timeline — anticipating seasonal delays and proactively navigating complex municipal permit processes.

What Is a Design-Build Contractor and Why Does It Matter?

A design-build firm like AVL Custom Homes handles both the architectural design and the physical construction under one roof and one contract. This unified approach eliminates the common friction between separate architects and builders. When your designer and custom home builders in Toronto are the same accountable team, timelines are protected, budgets are realistic from the start, and there is a single point of responsibility throughout your project.

Navigating GTA Building Permits and Zoning Bylaws

Each GTA municipality has unique zoning bylaws, conservation authority requirements (such as TRCA or LSRCA), and development charges. Toronto, North York, Richmond Hill, Markham, Thornhill, and Vaughan each have different setback rules and permit processes managed by local Chief Building Officials (CBO). AVL Custom Homes has successfully navigated permits across all twelve GTA municipalities we serve.

What Does Builder-Backed Annual Home Care Include?

The AVL Annual Home Care Program is a builder-led preventive maintenance service for luxury homeowners across Toronto and the GTA. Services include thermal imaging inspections to detect hidden water damage and insulation gaps, HVAC coordination, seasonal oversight, and access to our vetted trade partners — starting at $89 per month. Unlike generic maintenance services, AVL's program is delivered by the same team that builds luxury homes — meaning we know exactly how your property was constructed and what to watch for as it ages.

How to Choose the Right Custom Home Builder in Toronto

Your custom home builder in Toronto will be your primary partner for 12 to 18 months. Verify direct experience with the specific GTA municipality where you plan to build — local permit knowledge is non-negotiable. Ask about their project management structure: who coordinates trades daily, how schedule changes are communicated, and what happens when a subcontractor underperforms. At AVL Custom Homes, every project has a dedicated manager accountable for daily trade coordination and weekly client communication.

Custom Home Building in North York

North York is one of Toronto's most active markets for luxury custom home construction — particularly in Bridle Path, York Mills, Willowdale, and Don Mills. North York falls under City of Toronto jurisdiction, meaning Toronto's zoning bylaws, Committee of Adjustment process, and development charges apply.

Custom Home Building in Richmond Hill & York Region

Richmond Hill, Markham, Aurora, Thornhill, and King City fall within York Region, where development charges, conservation authority requirements, and zoning frameworks differ significantly from the City of Toronto. AVL Custom Homes is headquartered in Richmond Hill and has built across York Region since 2014.
