Nestled within the mature canopy of Oak Bay, this exceptional custom home embodies quiet luxury, crafted for a client with bold vision and refined taste. From the moment you step inside, every surface, sightline, and material choice feels deliberate. This is not just a house; it’s a full expression of how a home can perform, feel, and inspire.

A sculptural staircase sets the tone in the entry, leading into light-filled spaces where custom millwork meets natural stone, brushed brass, and hand-finished plaster walls. The kitchen, built as much for culinary mastery as for gathering, features state-of-the-art appliances, integrated lighting, and waterfall-edge stone. In the primary suite, a sense of retreat: heated floors, a spa-like ensuite, and hidden storage that prioritizes clean design.

Seamless indoor-outdoor transitions expand the living experience, with automated screens, radiant patios, and curated landscaping that frames the architecture rather than competing with it. Smart home integration and sustainable systems are tucked behind the scenes—whisper-quiet but deeply effective.

This Oak Bay project reflects what’s possible when design ambition meets build precision. A collaborative process from start to finish, where every “extra” was standard, and nothing was left to chance.

Some words from happy homeowners

Read the reviews from happy customers in Oak Bay who’s dreams we helped to make a reality.

“Graeme has done a fantastic job building a three-story addition to our home. He is a highly organized, punctual, and talented contractor. Throughout the entire project, he stayed on budget, which brought our family a great sense of peace. Graeme is honest, reliable, and truly professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality builder”

We hired Fayze Contracting to transform the first level of our home into a separate living suite, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Graham Connelly and his team handled everything—from demolition to the final touches—with professionalism and attention to detail.

The project included a beautifully designed kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and new appliances, as well as separate laundry and a custom wall unit in the family room. They also painted the entire suite, updated baseboards, and refreshed the decor.

The workmanship was excellent throughout, and the space turned out even better than we had hoped. Highly recommend!

Choosing Fayze to build our new carriage home in Central Saanich was an easy decision. Graeme’s enthusiasm for the home building process in general, and specifically in our project, was immediately evident.

Throughout construction, Graeme and Spencer (our project supervisor) proactively looked at ways to economically and efficiently deliver our vision. They were open and honest communicators, and decision points requiring our input were identified well in advance, with options fully considered and discussed.

Spencer’s organizational skills, attention to detail, and high standards were reassuring – from day one, we knew the end product would be outstanding.

From excavation through to completion, the team consistently exceeded our expectations for timelines, budget and value – we highly recommend using Fayze for your next renovation/new build!

We believe great homes grow from many small pieces.

Our Home Building Process in Oak Bay incorporates sustainable systems that maximize energy efficiency right into your home, from the very first step.

We begin with site selection and detailed analysis to identify challenges and opportunities based on terrain, zoning, and feasibility. Your wish list is balanced with cost considerations to shape a preliminary budget. From there, we proceed with engineering, service planning, and testing. Once approved, a detailed final budget and schedule guide the next stages.

Our team handles approvals, variances, and municipal submissions in-house. This includes site surveys, environmental testing, tree permits, and setbacks from water features. We also resolve land covenants and manage rezoning when needed, ensuring your project moves forward smoothly.

We collaborate with architects and engineers to align designs with both vision and budget. Our role ensures everything from structural systems to rainwater management is thoughtfully integrated. We help you achieve design goals while controlling costs and minimizing construction surprises.

Site prep is critical. We manage demolition, civil works, drainage, service installation, and staging logistics. Our focus is to anticipate construction needs early, streamlining timelines and allowing for bulk ordering and early savings. We don’t dig until the plan is crystal clear.

With structure in place, systems are roughed in—plumbing, HVAC, and electrical—followed by finishings like painting and flooring. Every detail is coordinated to meet your expectations. At handover, you receive a complete package with reports, warranties, and system manuals.

We extend our craftsmanship beyond the home with thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces—driveways, patios, kitchens, pools, and more. Designs consider your aesthetic and maintenance preferences, creating a beautiful, functional exterior that enhances how you live at home.

About Oak Bay

Oak Bay, BC is an elegant seaside community perched just east of downtown Victoria on southern Vancouver Island. With a small‑town atmosphere enriched by heritage charm, it’s known for its boutique‑lined Oak Bay Village, prestigious waterfront estates, lush tree‑lined streets, and scenic beaches like Willows and McNeill.

When it comes to home building and renovations, Oak Bay offers an exquisite blend of historic and contemporary properties. Lot sizes tend to be generous—especially in areas like Uplands and The Prospect—featuring estate‑sized parcels with manicured gardens. Homes often range from 2,000 to 4,000 square feet or more and include architectural styles such as stately Colonials, Tudor waterfront estates, and early 20th‑century character homes.

Much of Oak Bay’s residential development dates to the early 1900s when it emerged as a streetcar suburb of Victoria. The Uplands neighbourhood, envisioned by landscape architect John Olmsted in 1907, remains a prime example of garden suburb planning and was designated a National Historic Site. Heritage properties like Tod House (1850) provide tangible links to the area’s early settlement . Renovation and infill efforts often emphasize preserving historical elegance while adapting interiors for modern comfort and energy efficiency—common in heritage conservation areas like The Prospect.

Whether restoring a pre‑WWII classic, renovating a waterfront treasure, or thoughtfully infilling a large lot, Oak Bay’s timeless beauty, heritage heritage, and refined community make it one of the most distinguished places to invest in residential property.

FAQs

All your questions answered about Custom Homes, Renovations and New Home Construction in Oak Bay.

What’s the best neighbourhood in Oak Bay to build a home?

Prominent neighbourhoods in Oak Bay, BC include Uplands, Gonzales, Willows Beach, South Oak Bay, North Oak Bay, Estevan, Windsor Park, and The Prospect.

How much does it cost to build a custom home?

It depends—because no two custom homes are alike, and that’s exactly the point.

Every Fayze project is built around a client’s vision, the land it lives on, and the level of detail they want to see realized. From compact, efficient designs to sprawling estates, our builds have ranged anywhere from $250,000 to well over $1.5 million.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all estimates, we prefer to guide you through a detailed planning phase where costs are aligned with your goals, priorities, and comfort level. We take a measured, fayze-by-fayze approach—working through each decision with care, so you always know where your money is going, and why.

A better question might be: What kind of home do you want to come home to? Let’s start there—and build something that reflects your life, not just your budget.

How long does it typically take to build a custom home?

Every project is unique, but most custom homes take between 12 and 24 months from planning to completion. Factors like lot readiness, design complexity, permit approvals, and material availability can influence the timeline. What stays consistent is our commitment to steady progress and clear updates at every step.

When is the best time to start planning a custom build?

The sooner, the better. Starting early allows for thoughtful site selection, collaborative design, and a realistic budget. Even if you’re a year out, we can help you map out a smart timeline and avoid the common rush decisions that lead to regret later.

Do I need to own land before contacting Fayze Built?

Not necessarily. While having a lot helps define your build scope, we’re happy to consult during your search. Our team can assess topography, zoning, and services to ensure your site supports the vision you have in mind—and prevents surprises later.

What does your “fayze-by-fayze” approach actually look like?

It means we break down every project into small, deliberate steps. From early planning and permitting to the last knob installed, each phase is handled with attention and transparency. This structured yet flexible approach allows us to manage complexities while keeping you informed, confident, and comfortable throughout the journey.

What kind of clients do you typically work with?

We build for people who care deeply about their homes—design-savvy clients, architects with bold visions, and thoughtful homeowners who want a space that reflects their values and lifestyle. Whether you’re hands-on or hands-off, we adapt to your level of involvement while delivering a high standard at every turn.

How does sustainability factor into your builds?

We build homes that feel connected to their environment and perform efficiently for decades. From passive solar design and reclaimed materials to green certifications and water management systems, we take pride in building homes that respect the land and reduce long-term impact—without compromising on comfort or beauty

What happens after the build is complete?

We hand over more than just the keys. Your closing package includes warranty documents, inspection reports, and user manuals for your home’s systems. And should questions arise after move-in, our team is here to support you—long after the final coat of paint dries.
