In Ontario, a new home builder or vendor must be licensed by the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA).
Hosted by the HCRA, the Ontario Builder Directory provides information such as a builder’s licensing status, the number of years a builder has been active, the number of homes they have built, and conduct concerns including any charges and/or convictions against the builder.
If you do not see your builder listed or they appear not to be licensed, please contact the HCRA.
Home buyers who are interested in buying a new home that is already built may also search the Builder Directory to confirm the home’s warranty.
You can begin your search right away if you know the name of the builder you are searching, or you can search by location.
