Questions

Common questions

Do you handle building permits?
Yes. We prepare the drawings, file the application, respond to plan review and book every inspection. Permits are pulled under our licence.
Are you insured and WSIB covered?
We carry $5M general liability and full WSIB coverage. Certificates are provided with every contract, and we require the same from subtrades.
How do you price work?
Most projects are fixed-price against an approved drawing set. Construction management work is open-book with a fixed management fee.
How soon can you start?
Demolition and small excavation jobs typically start within 1–2 weeks. Permitted builds start once approvals are issued — usually 4–10 weeks after design begins.
