We are widely recognized as one of the top contractors in Toronto and the GTA, with a stellar reputation for excellence in delivering high-quality construction and remodeling projects. In 2025, with the GTA’s construction boom in full swing, booking early with a reputable company like us can help you avoid delays and ensure your project stays on track.
Toronto and other municipalities in the GTA enforce the OBC, and they may also have their own supplementary bylaws that address local conditions. Therefore, while the OBC is the base, local by laws add to those rules.

Yes, programs like the City of Toronto’s Home Energy Loan Program (HELP) offer low-interest loans for energy-efficient upgrades. Across the GTA, some municipalities provide rebates for green building practices, and federal initiatives may apply too—check with your contractor or local government for details.
It’s possible to stay during minor renovations, like updating a single room, if safety and access to essentials (e.g., a bathroom or kitchen) aren’t compromised. For larger projects, such as foundation work or multi-room gutting, many Torontonians opt to temporarily relocate due to dust, noise, and disruptions. Discuss logistics with us to decide what’s feasible.

In Toronto, this involves submitting plans to the City’s zoning offices. Smaller projects, like cosmetic updates, often don’t require permits, but it’s best to check with your local building department, as rules vary across the GTA.
