What is included in a Build Ready package?+
Your package includes the drawings, structural components and materials listed in your agreed specification. The Shell Package supplies the weather tight shell and the information your builder needs to assemble it. Full adds the finishing materials, fixtures and appliances, ready for your furniture. We work through the design, building method and selections with you so you can see exactly what you are buying before you order.
What is not included?+
The package supplies the agreed materials and supporting information; your local building team arranges the work needed to turn them into a home. Site work, foundations, plumbing pipes, electrical wiring, heating systems, construction labour and equipment, permits and local consultant fees are separate unless specifically quoted. Freight is also quoted separately. Before you proceed, we help clarify what ConstructionX will supply, what your builder or other local providers will arrange, and which costs still need to be confirmed.
How do Shell and Full differ?+
Shell supplies the weather tight shell: structure and interior walls in steel, wood or ICF, wall sheathing panels or ICF blocks, the roof, windows, exterior doors and drawings. Full adds roofing, siding, remaining insulation, interior materials, plumbing and light fixtures, appliances and finishes. Pipes, wiring, heating systems and all labour are separate.
Can I use my own local builder?+
Yes. Build Ready is designed to work with your qualified local builder. It helps to bring them into the conversation early so we can review the drawings, material choices and delivery arrangements together. Your builder can then plan the local work, equipment and trades around the package rather than having to work those details out after it arrives.
Can I contribute labour to the project?+
You may be able to take on suitable parts of the work, but decide that with your local builder before construction begins. The right tasks depend on your experience, the supervision available and the safety and local requirements for the project. Structural assembly needs the appropriate skills and oversight. Agreeing your role early helps your builder plan the work and makes clear where specialist trades are needed.
Who handles foundations, permits and local approvals?+
You, your local builder and the relevant local professionals agree who will arrange the foundations, permits and approvals. ConstructionX coordinates the package information with those requirements, including how the structure connects to the foundation. Bring your builder into this discussion early so the site work, foundation design and approval responsibilities are clear before materials are ordered.
How are engineering and climate requirements addressed?+
The engineering review starts with the home design and the conditions where you will build. We coordinate package information around the relevant loads, exposure and structural connections, with the professional services and local review needed for that location. You and your builder help provide the site information. This lets the design team address your property rather than assuming the same drawings will suit every site.
How does delivery work?+
We plan delivery with the suppliers and your local builder around what is being supplied and when the site can receive it. Before transport is arranged, we clarify freight, site access, unloading, storage and any staged shipments. You and your builder confirm the receiving arrangements. Where it makes practical sense, materials may be sourced closer to your project rather than delivered from Ontario.
Are assembly services available?+
Your qualified local builder normally assembles the package and supervises construction. Assembly labour and equipment are separate from the material supply. If you would like additional assembly support, tell us where you are building and what help you need. We can review whether support is available for that location and define any additional service before you rely on it in your construction plan.
How is project pricing established?+
We price the package around your home design, building method, location, engineering needs and chosen materials. Delivery arrangements and selections also affect the quotation. Your builder can help you plan the separate site and construction costs alongside that price, so you can assess the overall project budget. The written quotation makes clear what is covered and which items still need an allowance or a separate price.
Can you supply projects in Canada or the United States?+
Yes. Build Ready packages are for projects in Canada and the United States, reviewed for each location. Tell us the location and what you want to build, and we will review the supply options, engineering needs, local requirements and delivery arrangements with you before confirming the package.
Can ConstructionX help manage the project?+
We can review Build Ready Project Management as a separate service for your project. We review your project and location, then agree the responsibilities ConstructionX would take on, such as coordinating design information, procurement, deliveries, selections and budget or schedule visibility. Your local builder continues to run the site. Discussing the service early lets you decide what support you need and have it clearly agreed before work begins.
