Clients of this stunning waterfront canal site approached Craig at Cogan Custom Homes at the ideal moment—just as they began planning their dream home in Marsden Cove. Initial discussions on project brief preparation set the stage for collaboration with Maxar Architecture.

The 921 sqm site presented unique challenges due to its irregular shape, including an 8-meter building setback from the canal and the incorporation of a pool. Despite these hurdles, a concept was developed, and ballpark pricing was provided to ensure the project aligned with the client's budget. Craig emphasizes the importance of starting with a clear budget: "Working backward from a defined budget is essential for achieving a successful project without overspending."

Throughout the working drawings phase, Craig maintained close collaboration with the client and designer to anticipate and resolve any potential construction challenges. The design features a striking combination of Premier Mason bricks, R&K random-width cedar, and BGC Stratum cladding in both vertical and horizontal orientations, creating a visually stunning façade.

While the pool installation posed its own set of challenges, effective communication among all subcontractors made the process smooth and efficient. As with most Cogan Custom Homes projects, clients actively engaged with the building team in decision-making. The Co Construct online system streamlined this process, keeping clients informed of upcoming decisions, schedules, and financials.

By integrating an online schedule that coordinated all subcontractors, this project, like many others by Cogan Custom Homes, was completed on time, even in the post-COVID landscape.
