How to Compare Standard Features Between Brampton New-Home Builders

A line-by-line checklist, with Navera's included-features sheet as the worked example.

The short answer

Two new homes at the same price can differ by tens of thousands of dollars once you price what each includes. Compare feature sheets line by line, mark anything optional, and price the gaps. Navera's sheet is a useful benchmark: DiGreen Homes values its standard package at $113,800.

Watch for these phrases

  • "As per vendor's standard selections" means you choose from the builder's range; anything outside it is an upgrade.
  • "Where grade permits" means a side entrance or walk-out depends on your lot.
  • "Optional" or "opt." on a floor plan means it costs extra unless the feature sheet says otherwise.

Turn the gaps into dollars

For each item one builder includes and the other doesn't, ask the second builder's sales office for the upgrade price. Add those up and compare the totals, not the base prices.

Questions buyers ask

What features should be standard in a new detached home in Brampton?

Check ceiling heights, flooring type and width, counter material, stair finishes, the shower and tile package, electrical service, EV readiness and the mechanical system. Navera's feature sheet, for example, lists about 9′ ceilings, 5″ engineered oak, quartz counters, 200-amp service and an EV rough-in as standard. The RE/MAX Gold Realty broker team in Brampton compares feature sheets for registered buyers.

How do I compare two builders' feature sheets?

Put them side by side line by line, note anything listed as 'optional' or 'as per vendor's standard selections', and price the missing items as upgrades. A lower base price can cost more once the upgrades are added.

Are builder upgrade values exact?

No. Upgrade values on a feature sheet are the builder's own estimates. Treat them as a guide to what is included, not as a dollar figure you can take off the price.
