Yes. We prepare and file building permits, zoning reviews, heritage permits, septic and entrance permits, and conservation authority applications where your project needs them.
A site visit and honest budget range, then design and a fixed-price quote with every line item, then the build with weekly updates and one project lead, then a final walkthrough together.
Not without your signature. If you want a change, or we find something behind a wall, we price it and you approve it before any work happens.
A small deposit to start, then payments tied to finished stages of work. You never pay far ahead of what is built.
Ask us about options. Many clients fund projects with a home equity line of credit or a construction mortgage, and our fixed-price contract and draw schedule give lenders what they need.
Every new home we build is enrolled with Tarion, which provides Ontario's statutory new home warranty: one year on workmanship and materials, two years on items such as plumbing, electrical and water penetration, and seven years on major structural defects. Renovation warranty terms are written into your contract.
