We'd rather answer these upfront than have you guessing. If something isn't covered here, just reach out.
It means one team that handles everything- Project Management, Design, Layout, Architectural and Engineering, Permit Drawings and Submissions, City Inspections and all trade coordination including: HVAC, Plumbing, Millwork and Electrical.
Simply put, our estimates include everything. When comparing apples to apples for the same project, no one can provide the same quality and service for your build that we offer at our price. If it’s cheaper, there is always a reason.
If it’s a new site than before – ideally, if you’ve already signed then we get things sped up. We meet a lot of clients before they sign a lease to give them a realistic estimate that factors in a ROI into their lease negotiations. We work directly with Brokers and have found that the earlier we get involved, the fewer surprises there are once you are committed to the space.
We structure payments in stages to build a relationship and don’t use the standard 50/50 split. We use a 10% deposit when signing the contract, then 10% when the permit is in hand allowing our clients time to gather their financing and resources before construction begins. After that it payments at regular intervals, bills get paid as the work progressess alleviating the stress of your project.
It depends heavily on project scope and permit timelines, which vary by municipality. A straightforward restaurant build might be 2–4 months from permit to opening. Medical and dental spaces often take longer due to specialized requirements. Permit timelines alone can range from a few weeks to several months — which is why we manage that process directly and don't let it sit. We'll give you a realistic timeline in our first meeting.
No. We've done projects from small tenant improvements under $50,000 to multi-plant corporate rollouts in the millions. We evaluate fit based on project type and whether we can genuinely serve the client well — not by dollar size alone. If you're not sure whether your project is in our range, just tell us what you're building.
We carry full WSIB, certifications and insurance for all trades. We submit permits under our own credentials and have been pulling permits and passing inspections for nearly 30 years in Ontario.
We deal with it. That's the job. We've navigated soil contamination that delayed permits by months, city orders to add $44,000 in fire-rated construction, and clients running out of budget mid-project. In every case, we sat down, worked the problem, renegotiated where we could, and kept the project moving. We don't disappear when things get complicated. We don’t disappear when things get complicated, that’s where we excel past others, that’s where our Project management really shines, that’s where our experience drives the project to completion, that's where you get to start making money.
