Custom Home Builders in Stittsville
Build on an estate lot, at the rural edge, or in place of the house you have now, with one team from the first site visit to the keys.
Custom Home Builders in Stittsville, on Your Terms
Stittsville sits where Ottawa's suburbs meet the countryside. New subdivisions here are mostly sold by production builders, but there are also estate lots, older lots ready for a rebuild, and rural properties just outside the suburban edge. As custom home builders in Stittsville, OGC designs and builds one home at a time for those lots.
The edge is what makes Stittsville interesting to build in. A lot a few minutes apart can be on full municipal services or on a private well and septic system, and the plan changes with it. We confirm that first, then design the house around it.

Stittsville Home Builders, From Lot to Keys
In Stittsville, whether your lot is serviced decides half the approvals. Here is how a custom home runs from start to finish.
We confirm the servicing, zoning and size of the lot, and on a rural property whether it meets the rural zone minimums, which are generally 0.8 hectares and 50 metres of frontage for a detached home.
- Servicing confirmed
- Zoning and lot size review
- Tree survey
- Access and grading
Your designer develops a plan for your family and your lot, and you walk it in 3D. See our home design process.
- Floor plans and elevations
- 3D walkthroughs
- Site plan
- Finish selections by tier
The building permit comes from City of Ottawa Building Code Services. On a lot with a septic system, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority approves it on the City's behalf, usually within 5 to 10 business days of a complete application. A serviced lot over 55 square metres of footprint needs a grading plan.
- Structural engineering
- Septic approval where needed
- Grading plan
- City of Ottawa building permit
We turn the approved design into an itemized, fixed-price contract with dated milestones before ordering begins.
- Itemized fixed-price scope
- Schedule with milestones
- Selections confirmed

A single project manager runs the site. Value builds take about 8 to 12 months of construction, premium 12 to 18 and luxury 18 to 24. More on how long it takes to build a house in Ottawa.

What a Custom Home Costs in Stittsville
Ottawa-wide construction ranges by tier. In Stittsville, a serviced lot and a rural-edge lot carry different site costs.
Design and Size
A simple footprint costs least per square foot. Wings, vaulted ceilings, large glazing and structural steel raise the rate.
Finishes
Cladding, windows, floors and cabinetry decide the tier. Fibre cement, hardwood and triple-pane windows are typical upgrades.
Site and Servicing in Stittsville
A serviced lot needs a services connection and a grading plan. A rural-edge lot needs a well and a septic system instead; the 2026 RVCA fee for a new Class 4 or 5 residential system is $990. A rebuild adds demolition.
All figures are for construction, not land, design, permits or landscaping. On the plus side, Ontario's enhanced HST rebate can be worth up to $130,000 if construction begins by March 31, 2027, and the City of Ottawa cut new-home development charges in July 2026.

Stittsville Custom Home Questions
The three tiers are value at about $315 to $330 per square foot, premium at $420 to $450, and luxury at $500 to $1,100 or more. A 2,500 sq ft home therefore runs roughly $787,500 to more than $2.75 million to build. A rural-edge lot adds a well and septic system; a rebuild adds demolition. See the custom home cost guide.
Allow 8 to 12 months on site for a value-tier home, 12 to 18 for premium and 18 to 24 for luxury, plus the design and permit time ahead of it. On a septic lot, the septic approval runs alongside the building permit. More on how long it takes to build a house in Ottawa.
Yes. We confirm servicing, zoning, size and trees before you buy. On a rural property we check it against the rural zone minimums and look at where a well and septic bed would go.
Expect a construction mortgage rather than a standard one: funds are released in stages as the home reaches defined milestones. Buying the lot first is common, using a land loan or a combined land and build mortgage. See our guide on how to finance a custom home build in Ottawa.
That is planned at design, when it costs the least. Insulation, windows, airtightness and heating are chosen together, and we price upgrades such as triple-pane windows.
Yes. We handle demolition, the grading plan, servicing and any tree protection, then build. Read more about infill home construction and what counts as an infill lot in Ottawa.
Two zoning by-laws apply at once in Ottawa, By-law 2008-250 and By-law 2026-50, and the more restrictive provision wins. Plan on up to three units on a serviced lot, or two on a well and septic system. See Ottawa's 2026 zoning by-law and custom homes and minimum lot sizes by zone.
