Tips for building your dream home

This Sheldon Homes new build sits along the picturesque Niagara River, Niagara Falls. The brief for this dream home was to create a transitional style home, a space where the couple could entertain their large extended family, make the most of their leisure time during their busy lives, and see the incredible views of the Niagara River from all living areas of the home.

Through meticulous planning, and exquisite execution by a team of passionate trades, the clients achieved their custom dream home.

From floor to ceiling, not a detail has been brushed over in this beautiful build. It’s the kind of attention to detail that comes with a creative passion for a project.

While the client meticulously picture-boarded every inch of what they wanted in their home, Sheldon was responsible for bringing their vision to life.

“My job was to look through their eyes, and discover their taste and build the home to what they felt it should be,” Sulman says. “I am able to visualize and communicate that vision to the client, and most importantly to the people doing the work.”

Being on site every day helps, too, and is a testament to Sulman’s commitment to his clients.

“He is not just a builder, he is really into the design aspects,” the client says. “He actually drove to Toronto one day to meet face-to-face with the person who did the plaster mouldings and brought the different mouldings here for us to see. None of the builders we have worked with ever went to that much trouble.”

The result is a home that flows, with every detail creating a sense of continuity – essential to any home Sheldon builds.

“One of the important things in my job is to create continuity of the eye,” Sheldon says.

“I have been in many houses where something doesn’t flow and your eye goes straight to it, and that’s a mistake. When you are doing things with continuity and quality, there is no wrong, there is only right.

“The client and I did a lot of talking and a lot of seeing, we looked at the proper design principles, and it was done in a quality way. This house is absolutely them, and it’s wonderful.

Sheldon Sulman’s tips for building your dream home

1 Have a clear vision of what you want. Think about, research it, picture board it. The clearer your vision, the more easily it can be communicated to the team working on your build.

2 Use proper design principles. Regardless of how unique or everyday your design style is, it can all be brought together with proper design principles. Working with a builder who has depth of experience and attention-to-detail will help bring your dream into focus.

3 Do it in a quality way. Cutting corners on your dream build will only leave you looking back wishing you had decided not to compromise. Building your forever home is a once in a lifetime event. There is no “life hack” for quality finishes executed by experienced trades people.
