General



  • I’m not sure whether a premade floor plan or a custom floor plan is the right fit for my needs, how do I determine this?

    It really comes down to your needs as each family is unique! Pre-made plans are already designed so if you’re on a tight timeline, this may be the best route.


    Our custom floor plans are tailored precisely to your needs. If you’re ready to build your dream home, our custom design process will ensure every detail matches your desires. We will be with you every step of the way to ensure your design turns out beautifully as you envision it.

  • What payment options are accepted by Dream Big Home Design?

    E-transfer is our preferred payment method! 

  • I want to renovate or make an addition to my current home, but I don’t have the original blueprint, can you still help me?

    That’s no problem at all and it’s a common situation for homeowners. At Dream Big, we use advanced measuring devices to fully map out your existing home and create a 3D model as-built. From there, we’ll work with you to transform your renovation vision into reality.

Customized Floor Plans



  • Can you create custom floor plans for any type of building or do you only design single-family homes?

    We can design for a variety of different buildings from cottages to tiny homes, light commercial/storefronts, single-family homes, and multi-family homes.

    Yes, of course. We often meet with our clients virtually, so as long as you have access to high-speed internet we can help design your dream home! We also follow the latest edition of the National Building Code so we can provide service across Canada.

  • How can I check if the floor plan fits my property?

    You’ll need to consider the width/depth of the floor plan and then allow for your municipality’s required setbacks. At Dream Big we will get your property and place in our program to ensure it fits perfectly!

Your custom dream home is just a few easy steps away from becoming a striking reality you’ll enjoy for years to come.
