Serving Vaughan
Custom Home Builder in Vaughan
We are based here. Berm Inc. builds high-performance custom homes across Vaughan — from Woodbridge and Maple to Kleinburg, Thornhill and Concord — and manages the permits, trades and details that come with building in York Region.
Based in Vaughan, Not Driving In From Somewhere Else
Berm Inc. operates from Unit 355 – 7250 Keele Street in Vaughan, Ontario. Our crews, suppliers and site supervision are local, which matters more than it sounds: site visits happen in hours rather than days, and problems get caught while they are still small.
Vaughan is also where a large share of our residential work is. We have spent years learning how lots in this city behave — the grading, the soil, the mature trees worth building around, and the approval steps that decide whether a project runs smoothly or stalls.
Where We Build
Across Vaughan's Communities
Custom homes, major renovations, rebuilds and additions — in the neighbourhoods we know best.
Most of our Vaughan work falls into three categories: new custom homes on infill or cleared lots, large-scale rebuilds where an older house is taken down and replaced with something designed for how the family actually lives, and major renovations and additions where the envelope has to be handled carefully so the new work performs as well as it looks. You can see examples of all three on our project page.
What Building in Vaughan Actually Involves
A custom home in Vaughan needs a building permit before construction starts. The City's Building Standards department reviews applications for new single-family dwellings, and publishes a target processing time of approximately 10 business days once a complete application is submitted — with more complex projects taking longer if zoning relief or additional reviews are needed.
That is why we treat the pre-construction phase as part of the build, not paperwork before it. Drawings, engineering, zoning review and permit submission are coordinated up front, so construction starts with an approved, buildable plan rather than a set of questions.
On the construction side, Vaughan is a cold-climate market. The details that decide how a home feels in February — continuous insulation, airtight construction, thermal-bridge-free transitions and properly installed windows — are the ones specified and inspected on site rather than assumed. Our building approach covers how that work is sequenced and verified.
And because we are an HCRA-licensed Vendor and Builder (Licence No. B60719), homeowners can verify our licensing status independently in the Ontario Builder Directory.
