Who We Are

Tech Home is a full-service custom home builder in Ontario with over 50 years of experience designing and constructing exceptional homes and cottages across Ontario. Founded by acclaimed designer Fred Haas, our company has built a reputation for blending timeless architectural design with practical function, high-performance building practices, and enduring craftsmanship.

What sets us apart is our truly personal approach. Every client works directly with Fred Haas to bring their vision to life — whether that’s a lakeside cottage or a sophisticated urban residence. Fred’s design philosophy emphasizes beauty, efficiency, and livability, resulting in homes that are not only stunning but also deeply aligned with the way you want to live.

Behind every Tech Home build is a tightly coordinated team led by Steven Haas, who oversees permits, product sourcing, and construction with precision and transparency. From start to finish, our experienced trades and project managers ensure your custom home is completed on time, within budget, and with the highest standard of quality. We don’t just build homes — we build lasting relationships, delivering peace of mind, enduring value, and spaces that our clients are proud to call home.

The Tech Home Difference

Knowledge. Experience. Expertise. Integrity.
At Tech Home, we don’t just build custom homes — we build trust. Our clients choose us because we bring more than construction skills to the table. We bring a reputation earned over five decades, and a commitment to quality that never wavers.
Knowledge With deep insight into design principles, building science, materials, and regional requirements, we guide every decision with clarity and confidence. From lot orientation and structural solutions to interior functionality, we know what works — and why. That knowledge helps prevent costly mistakes and ensures your home performs beautifully for years to come.
Experience For over 50 years, we’ve completed custom homes and cottages across Ontario. We’ve worked on all types of terrain, dealt with countless permitting processes, and delivered for clients with a wide range of needs and budgets. That history means fewer surprises — and smoother builds.
Expertise Every detail matters, and our in-house team brings a high level of technical and creative skill to each one. From design to drafting, permitting to construction, you work directly with proven professionals — including Fred Haas, one of Canada’s most respected custom home designers. The result? Homes that are architecturally strong, thoughtfully laid out, and crafted to a higher standard.
Integrity As a trusted custom home builder in Ontario, we’re known for being transparent, accountable, and honest. Our quotes are detailed, our timelines realistic, and our promises kept. That’s why much of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals. When you build with Tech Home, you're not just hiring a contractor. You’re partnering with a team that stands behind its work — and stands with you every step of the way.

Request a Design Consultation
We begin with a detailed consultation where we learn about your goals, timeline, budget, and ideas. You’re encouraged to bring sketches, photos, or magazine clippings — anything that helps define your vision. We’ll also discuss site preparation, permitting, and other essentials to ensure you’re starting with clarity.

Request a Quotation
After initial meetings, we prepare a conceptual floor plan and provide a detailed quotation for turnkey construction. We review standard finishes and product selections, and include allowances for items still to be finalized. This gives you a realistic picture of the project’s cost, scope, and timeline before committing.

Detailed Design & Architectural Drawings
Once the project moves forward, Fred Haas works directly with you to finalize the design and produce complete architectural blueprints. These drawings include all structural and permit requirements and reflect a carefully balanced blend of beauty, function, and buildability.

Permits & Site Preparation
As soon as your drawings are approved, we handle the entire permit application process. In parallel, we begin on-site prep — clearing, driveway layout, foundation staking — so construction is ready to proceed as soon as approvals are in place.

Our in-house project managers and skilled trades begin work with precision and care. Each phase — foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, finishes — is inspected internally and by municipal inspectors. You receive regular updates, including digital photo reports, so you stay connected throughout the build.

Then — it’s time to move in and enjoy your new home.
