Designing and building a waterfront or canal home in Marsden Cove is both a unique and exciting opportunity, but it also comes with distinct challenges that differ from those of standard subdivisions.

When considering a builder for your waterfront project, you might want to ask the following questions:

• Does the builder live locally and have a thorough understanding of the local climate and waterfront properties?
• Do they possess specialized knowledge of coastal building materials and design techniques to ensure durability, and can they recommend the best products?
• Are they aware of the importance of view lines and the strategic placement of windows?
• Can they optimize the value and living experience of your waterfront or canal property?
• Are they open to making adjustments and offering suggestions throughout the build to perfect minor details?
• Will they guide you through the entire process and work closely with you to realize your vision and dream?
