Start with what you want to change

The kind of project decides the design, the approvals and the build. These are the three most common starting points.

01

A kitchen, a bathroom, the basement or the whole house, planned together so the work is done once.

↗

02

A rear or second-storey addition, a legal basement suite, or a garden or laneway suite in the backyard.

↗

03

A duplex, triplex or fourplex, by converting the house or building new under Toronto’s multiplex rules.

↗

Renovations

Home renovation services

Room by room or the whole house, every renovation is planned around the structure, the services and the permits, then built by one team.
