Every community needs housing heroes—and every home has an origin story. But before families can move in, a journey unfolds behind the scenes. Building a community takes time—often 6 to 15+ years from concept to completion. Here’s how it unfolds.
Developers must work with provincial and municipal governments to obtain a variety of planning, environmental, growth management, transportation and other engineering approvals. This determines if a community will be permitted and how it will be designed at a high level.
Developers determine final subdivision plans, pay development charges (offsite levies) and work with engineers to fully design and install infrastructure for building lots.
Builders must apply for and receive building and development permits from their municipality.
Builders and tradespeople bring homes to life.
The city ensures everything is up to standard.
