Design-build · Since 1985 · Cobourg
Farwes Homes Ltd. designs and builds the house around the land you already own. Not a catalogue floor plan. One local team from first drawings through permits, construction, and the final walkthrough.
Homes we have already built
Farwes Homes Ltd. is a family design-build custom home builder based in Cobourg, Ontario. Since 1985 we have designed and built new houses on our clients’ lots — bungalows, two-storeys, and estate homes — across Northumberland County, Durham Region, and the Kawartha Lakes. The photos below are Farwes houses, not catalogue renderings.
If you own land in Cobourg, Port Hope, Grafton, Brighton, Bowmanville, Oshawa, or nearby, this is what a custom house looks like when architectural design, township permits, and construction stay with one local team. You get a house planned around your lot, not a floor plan dropped onto it.
How a Farwes custom home is built
A custom home on your lot should not mean a designer in one office and a builder you barely see. Farwes walks the land with you, turns how you live into drawings you can price, and files what the township needs before excavation starts. Framing, mechanicals, millwork, and finish are scheduled as one build so the house does not go quiet for weeks.
That is design-build custom home construction: one project manager from the first consultation through the final walkthrough. We build new houses in Cobourg, Port Hope, Grafton, Brighton, Bowmanville, Oshawa, and the Kawartha Lakes — close enough to be on site, not commuting in from the GTA.
Bring the land. We walk it, talk through how you live, and draw a house that belongs there — sun, grade, setbacks, and the way you actually use a kitchen and a mudroom. No catalogue plan dropped onto a lot it was never drawn for.
Architectural design, township permits, and construction stay with Farwes Homes Ltd. You are not coordinating a designer in one town and a builder in another. One custom home. One number. One team that already built the houses above.
The shop is in Cobourg. We have been a family custom home builder for four decades. Northumberland County, Durham Region, and the Kawartha Lakes are the working radius — not a sales territory we visit twice a month.
Start a custom home
Bring the lot, the survey, or even just the idea. We will tell you honestly whether it is a Farwes job, what the sequence looks like, and what we need from you before drawings begin. Farwes Homes Ltd. designs and builds custom homes and new houses across Cobourg, Port Hope, Grafton, Brighton, Bowmanville, Oshawa, Durham Region, and the Kawartha Lakes.
