Most of Caledon sits inside the Greenbelt or on the Niagara Escarpment, and almost every rural property runs on private well and septic. An accessory dwelling unit here starts with a septic loading calculation - the existing bed often cannot legally take another bedroom, and a new tile field, not the building, becomes the largest single line in the budget. Caledon permits additional residential units, but most rural properties require a septic capacity assessment and, on the escarpment, Niagara Escarpment Commission approval.
Rural acreages on private well and septic; Greenbelt and escarpment overlays cover a majority of the town's land area.
Custom means the plan starts from your Caledon parcel and your programme rather than from a catalogue, so the constraint set - setbacks, coverage, angular plane, servicing capacity - is established before any layout is drawn. Design, permit and construction are held on one contract, so a constraint discovered at the Peel Region review is resolved by the party that will build it. Fixed-scope pricing is set after the constraints are known, not before - that ordering is what keeps a custom Caledon build from turning into a change-order sequence.

Rural acreages on private well and septic; Greenbelt and escarpment overlays cover a majority of the town's land area. Caledon is car-oriented at 22/100 walkability, so parking retention and driveway access constrain the footprint more than the zoning envelope does. We work regularly in Bolton, Caledon East, Inglewood.

Per square foot, modestly - the difference is design time, not construction. On constrained Caledon lots custom often costs less overall, because a plan drawn to the actual setbacks and coverage avoids the Committee of Adjustment application that a catalogue plan usually triggers.
