How a renovation project runs

Five stages. Each one ends with a signed document, a permit issued or an inspection passed.

The five stages, always in this order

  1. Visit to your home

    We take the measurements and give you a first price bracket.

  2. Detailed quote

    Every item is priced, with the quantities and what stays excluded.

  3. Signing and permit

    You sign the schedule and the payment calendar. We file the permit.

  4. The work

    Each trade starts once the previous one has been inspected.

  5. End of the work

    We walk through, note the corrections, then you pay the balance.

The correction list

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The visit and the first estimate are not billed and commit you to nothing. If architectural drawings or an engineer are needed, they are priced separately and approved first.

We do. We check your city's requirements, prepare the drawings, file the application and follow the file. The permit is still issued in the owner's name.

A deposit on signing, then instalments tied to real progress rather than fixed dates. The last instalment is due once the corrections have been made.

We stop, document it, explain the options and price the fix in writing. Nothing is carried out before you agree.

It starts with a visit

Tell us about the project. You get a detailed quote, not a number given over the phone.
