Where no catalogue model suits your lot.
Three ways to take delivery.
My Own Cottage helps with municipal permits.
Foundation, site preparation and servicing are carried out by licensed trades and quoted separately against your lot.
Three build lines
Which Prefab Home, Cottage and Cabin Builds Do You Offer?
Compare all preconfigured models, from 505 to 3,373 sq ft, before you choose a line.
Listed prices cover the structure and delivery. Foundation, site preparation, servicing, permits, municipal charges and turnkey finishing are separate.
Catalogue or custom
Can You Design Custom Homes Instead of a Catalogue Model?
Yes. My Own Cottage designs custom homes as well as building from its catalogue. Models in the catalogue include Fox Den, Orchard, Solaris, Excelsior, Woodside and Water’s Edge, and you can compare 33 preconfigured models before you decide. If none suits your lot or your plans, you can start a plan of your own with us.
Building behind a house you already own? That starts from the existing dwelling rather than from a catalogue model, and units behind an existing home covers it.
Three ways to take delivery
Can You Choose Kit Homes, Panelized Construction or Turnkey?
Yes. The catalogue offers kit, panelized and turnkey fulfilment. Kit homes are the self-build option: the home ships as a kit for you to build, and the kit and self-build guide covers what that involves. Which of the three suits your project is a question for the consultation.
Kit
The self-build option: the home ships as a kit for you to build.
Panelized
One of three ways to take delivery from the catalogue.
Turnkey
Turnkey finishing is priced separately from the listed model price.
If you are weighing one option against another, settle that first.
Choosing between a catalogue model and a custom plan, or between kit, panelized and turnkey? Bring your lot details to a free consultation and settle it there.
Pricing, in plain terms
What Do Our Construction Services Include, and Who Does the Site Work?
What Does the Listed Model Price Include?
Listed model prices cover the structure and delivery only. My Own Cottage handles delivery coordination to your lot anywhere in Ontario. Everything else in the table below is priced separately.
| Component | In the listed model price? | How it is priced |
|---|---|---|
| Structure (the model itself) | Yes | Listed model price |
| Delivery to your lot | Yes | Listed model price |
| Turnkey finishing | No | Priced separately |
| Foundation | No | Quoted separately against your lot |
| Site preparation | No | Quoted separately against your lot |
| Servicing | No | Quoted separately against your lot |
| Building permits and municipal charges | No | Priced separately |
Who Handles the Foundation, Site Preparation, Servicing and Permits?
My Own Cottage helps with municipal permits. Licensed trades carry out the foundation, site preparation and servicing. They are licensed-trade installation professionals who work with My Own Cottage as contracted affiliates, not employees. Their work is quoted separately against your lot and set in the agreement before the build.
Your next five steps
What Happens After You Reach Out
We know that reaching out to a builder is a big step. Here is exactly what to expect after you submit your inquiry or book a consultation.
You submit the form
Takes about 90 seconds. No commitment required. Tell us a little about your project — where you want to build, whether you already own land, what type of home or cottage you’re considering, your rough timeline, and any early questions you have.
We review your project details
A My Own Cottage advisor reviews your submission and prepares relevant model suggestions and a preliminary site checklist before we call.
Free discovery consultation (30–45 minutes)
We discuss your land, budget, timeline, and which of our 33 models fits best — or we design something custom. This is a no-pressure conversation designed to help you get clarity, not to close a deal.
Site and feasibility review
If you have a property in mind, we assess site access, servicing, conservation authority requirements, and any municipal permit considerations that could affect your build.
For waterfront lots near Orillia or Lake Couchiching, this includes a review of LSRCA regulated area status and Lake Simcoe Protection Plan implications. We flag potential challenges early so you can plan accordingly.
Personalised project estimate
Detailed, transparent pricing in CAD covering both factory and site scopes — not just a base model price. No surprise line items.
There is no obligation at any stage of this process until you choose to move forward.

“My Own Cottage delivered our Fox Den garden suite to our Orillia lot in under six months. Permit coordination, site assessment, and installation were all handled by their team. We had rental income within the year.”

“From the very beginning, the team at My Own Cottage Inc. provided exceptional customer service. What stood out most was the wealth of knowledge, patience, and clarity they provided before anything even began.”
Robert Orrom.Garden Suite, Alliston, Simcoe County
Rated 5 out of 5
“We compared traditional construction and prefab modular homes for our waterfront lot. The construction timeline, cost predictability, and the fact that My Own Cottage knew Muskoka’s specific requirements made the decision straightforward. The finished build exceeded every expectation.”
David R.Prefab Cottage, Muskoka
Rated 5 out of 5
“From floor plan selection through to our occupancy permit, we were guided every step of the way. The energy efficiency of the building envelope has genuinely reduced our utility bills compared to our old site-built home. We had absolute peace of mind and confidence from start to finish.”
