Custom Homes for Professionals that Work From Home

Having a custom home built can be a huge undertaking, even if you’re not the one building it. There’s usually a large budget involved and you have to make a lot of decisions that will stick around in the long-term. Our team at Heidan Construction completely understands. We build custom homes for people all the time and we have a deep understanding of how stressful this process can be. The difficulty is even higher when building custom homes for professionals that work from home. Here’s why.

Base of Operations

As someone who works from home, your home becomes more than just a home. It’s your entire base of operations. You wake up there, you eat there, you sleep there, and you make your living there. Because your home is also the source for your income, its design and quality is of huge importance. After all, even one moving part in the function of your home office or studio can put a halt to your entire work process.

Getting What You Need

At Heidan Construction, we find it to be of utmost importance to give our clients exactly what they want and need. That can mean any number of things – even those things that are seen as vanity choices.

Do you want floor to ceiling windows in your studio to get the best lighting? We can make it happen. Do you want skylights to let in the best of the midday sun? We can do that too. Everything about your home work space should be exactly what you need. From flooring to paint colors, windows to light fixtures – even the shape of your door can be customized. Don’t settle for a cookie-cutter office that’s made to accomplish the bare minimum. Create a work space that’s meant to make you excel.

Home Offices

If you’re currently working from a home office you’re unhappy with, you’ve certainly noticed you’re lacking some things. Your new, custom home is the perfect opportunity to start over and get what you need.

Consider built-in shelving. Shelving that’s built into the walls offers a stable and expansive place to store and display anything from books to photos. Built-in shelving also looks phenomenal behind a desk.

Studio Needs

While home offices are usually pretty straightforward, home studios require a lot more. If you’re an artist, your studio has a lot of specific needs. For one thing, having a counter and a large, basin sink for cleaning up paints, dyes, and other messes is a must-have. Being able to wash paintbrushes or rinse off palettes and then have an easy place to set them to dry makes working much easier.

Inspire yourself every day by choosing floor to ceiling windows for one wall of your studio. Being able to see into the great outdoors while working can really get the creative juices flowing. Take it one step further and let us build you a deck outside your studio. Picture a wall of windows with sliding, glass doors that lead onto a cozy deck. This is the perfect place to take an easel and work in the summertime. You can even fill your deck with greenery if you have a passion for plants.

Hire Heidan

When it comes time to have a custom home built in Toronto, come to the best source for custom homes for professionals. Heidan has been in the business of serving professionals for almost 2 decades and we look forward to serving you too. Give us a call if you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation.

Interesting Design Choices that Improve Productivity

There’s a lot more to design than you might think. The design of the building you’re in can change everything from the way you work, to the way you feel, to the way you move. Heidan Construction is here today to talk about how design choice can improve productivity levels. Here’s how it happens:

Color Matters

One of the first things that can affect your behavior in design is color. Color is a surprisingly effective tool to alter people’s behavior. That doesn’t mean you can control people’s individual actions, but you can certainly control their attitudes, even just a little bit. That’s because color has a profound effect on the human brain. Our brains associate different colors with different needs and moods. If you take the effects of different colors into account when designing a workspace, you can optimize work in each area – even different types of work.

  • Calming blues can help lower stress. If you’ve ever been stressed about work, you know how stifling it can be. Being stressed about work can actually make working harder. That’s why choosing calming blue tones for high-stress work environments can keep employees calmer, happier, and more productive.
  • Bright oranges boost energy levels. This true of both orange and red. They actually can raise stress, but in a good way. A small amount of stress is what encourages people to speed up and put more energy into their work. It gives the illusion of pressure, just enough that the brain kicks things into high gear. For physically active or fast-paced work, these bright, warm colors can really do the trick.
  • Middle-tone greens can be a happy medium. Soft, earth greens help keep the balance between calm and productive. This is a great color for clinics, medical offices, and even home offices.

Improve Productivity with Lighting

The next thing that boosts productivity is lighting. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to feel sleepy in a room with dim, warm lighting? That’s because this subtle, warm lighting is similar to the hour before dusk. Our bodies equate it with the setting of the sun and the end of the day. It signals to us that it’s time to sleep.

On the other hand, bright, clear light does a great job waking us up. Have you ever sat outside when the sun rises? Perhaps you’ve had to get up at the crack of dawn to go to work? You might have noticed that the morning sunlight is bright and somewhat cold in color. That is the exact reason why bright lamps or overhead lights with little warmth to them tend to wake us up. They aren’t the coziest lights, but they sure are good at tricking our brains into staying awake.

If you want to talk to experts in the field about how you can incorporate these design choices into your next build project, give us a call. Heidan Construction looks forward to helping you make your next work space as functional as possible.

Design Build Contractors Make Commercial Construction Easy

If you’re in need of a new office from which to work, you’ll need someone to help you bring it to life. Knowing what you want is great, but it’s only the first step of many to actually getting the building you need. Heidan Construction is the next step. Why should you hire Heidan when Toronto has such variety in construction companies? We’re leaders in the industry and we’re also design build contractors. Here’s all you need to know about why design build contractors are the number one choice for commercial construction.

What are They?

If you’ve never heard of design build contractors before, you’re in for a treat. Design build contractors are contractors who do all the work to build a new building from the first stage to the final stage. That means concepts, blueprints, permits, construction, and polishing are all done by us.

Save Time

Hiring a design build contractor is incredibly important when hiring out for commercial construction. Why? It saves you an invaluable amount of time and energy. If you don’t hire design build contractors, you have to do all the in-between work yourself. 

  • First you have to go to a designer and work with them to figure out what kind of space you want, then put it into a floorplan. 
  • You’ll then have to part ways with them, taking your blueprint with you on your way to finding a location. Finding the right location where you can legally build a building of the size and purpose you have in mind is work better left to professionals. 
  • Then, you have to find a construction company. You give your blueprint to a team of contractors who have never seen it before and trust them to get the job done right.

Wouldn’t it be easier to get it all done in one place? All you have to do when you hire design build contractors is help us to understand the kind of space you’re looking for and we’ll design your new office and have it built for you. No busy-work from you is necessary.

Quality Results

When you have a team of contractors build from a blueprint they’ve never seen before, the chances are the building will look fine. But, it might not be the personalized office you were hoping it would be. There could be things done differently than you expected. It’s hard to get exactly what you want from a design when you barely know the people building it and they aren’t very familiar with you or your needs.

When you hire design build contractors, we do every part of the process. That means we’re intimately familiar with what you need out of our services. Our team knows you and knows the design and will give you exactly what you asked for.

If you need a team of design build contractors for your new commercial construction project, give us a call at Heidan Construction. We look forward to making your future endeavors that much easier.

Turn-Key Service

Not enough construction companies take the cleanup part of their job seriously. It’s all too often that you walk into your new home to find nails lying around, scraps left in the backyard, or food trash left on counters. Here at Heidan, we don’t see building the house as the only important part of our job. Our job is to leave you with a house that can immediately be made into a home.

When you hire Heidan, you can expect that the entire house will be free of construction debris. We clean up after ourselves so that you don’t have to. After all, it’s not your job to finish cleanup. That’s part of our service. You can be sure we’ll leave your home ready to be lived in.

Varying Styles

Part of having a home custom built is getting a style that feels like it represents you. That’s why we have experience with building many different home styles. No matter what kind of style you feel suits you best, we can make it a reality.

Make Your Custom Home Unique with Heidan

Are you planning to buy a custom home? Whether you’re settling down in your younger years or retiring in your dream home, custom homes are a great choice. The thing about them, is they’re not as simple as buying an existing home. This is especially true if you’re looking for something more unique than your average house. Let’s see how Heidan can help you build your one-of-a-kind home into the masterpiece you desire.

Who You Are

The first step we take at Heidan is to get to know who you are. We want to sit down with you and discuss what kind of house you’re looking for. Knowing what kind of life you lead and what you look for in a property makes designing a home for you a lot easier.

Our initial consultation is a great time to bring photos you’ve taken or found online or in magazines of homes you like. As experienced professionals in the field, we may see patterns in what you like and dislike that you didn’t even know were there. That will make it all the easier for us to make suggestions for the design we create together.

Home Types

When it comes to building a unique custom home, there are many ways to do it. However, we at Heidan have a few specific home types that we specialize in.

  • Modern custom homes are a popular choice. These are homes outfitted with innovative technology and fixtures to make your life easier and cheaper. From retrofits that will save you money on water to solar panels, our modern custom homes come with all the best.
  • Luxury custom homes are also a fantastic choice. Fitted with all the great features in our modern custom homes, our luxury homes get even better. We go above and beyond our clients expectations and bring them a property they never dreamed of. We’ve worked hard over our many years in the industry to be the leading provider of luxury custom homes in Toronto.
  • Transitional custom homes are a popular choice, though each one is unique in its design. Transitional homes allow you a marriage of classical design features and modern design features. Not interested in a house that looks ahead of its time? A transitional home may be just what you need. We’ve taken all the technological luxuries you would want from a modern home and fit them into a more classical environment.

Hire Heidan Construction

If you want a custom home from a construction company who will involve you in the process and deliver beyond your expectations, you should hire Heidan Construction. We’ve been bringing clients’ custom home dreams to life for over 15 very successful years. We want to help you out next. That’s because we believe everyone deserves a house they feel at home in.

If you have questions about our design process or would like to set up a consultation, contact us! We look forward to hearing from you.

Make Home Construction Easy with Design Build Contractors

Are you looking for professional help to have your home or business built from the ground up? Look no further than design build contractors. Design build contractors are the most efficient and pain-free way of having a custom building brought to fruition. Heidan Construction is here to let you in on why.

Simplifying

What exactly are design build contractors? The answer is really simple. The usual process for having a new building made is to hire a designer to make the blueprint. You then take the design to a construction company and they’ll bring it to life. But, isn’t it an unnecessary hassle to go to two people when you could get everything done in one place?

Design build contractors are people who can do both. That makes your life a whole lot easier because you only have to find one reliable company – Heidan Construction being the best in Toronto.

Rely on the Professionals

When you come to Heidan Construction, our design build team will help you from beginning to end. There’s no need to get help from a third party. We’ll start out with the initial design consultation and discuss your needs with you. This is a great time for you to show us pictures you’ve found or taken of properties you like.

When we’re confident that we know what you’re looking for, we’ll go about making a design for you. Your approval on the design is all we need to take things to the next step: construction. When we have the design finalized, our team of efficient and experienced professionals will get to work. Then, it’s only a matter of time before the home or office you’ve been dreaming of is a reality.

Pitfalls of Separate Teams

Design build contracting teams were made for a reason. When hiring separate teams to design and build the project you’re after, there are a lot of opportunities for error. For one thing, if your design team didn’t make certain parts of the design clear enough, it could cause problems for the construction team you’ve hired. There’s also the problem of both teams being on differing levels. Should your design team be more experienced than the construction team trying to build their design, the whole thing could end up going sideways.

If you hire a design build team, the same people building your home will already be intimately familiar with the design. There’s less chance for errors in the technical aspects of the building. Not to mention, these are the people you’ve sat down and talked with. They know exactly the vision you’re trying to bring to life. They know what your goals are for the project they’re building and they’ll be sure to honor that. 

If you’re planning to have a custom home or office built, give us a call at Heidan Construction. We would love to answer any questions you have about our design build contracting. We look forward to hearing from you!
