Renovation timelines depend on the size and complexity of the project. Smaller renovations may take a few weeks, while larger projects such as full-home renovations can take several weeks or more. Before construction begins, we provide a clear project schedule and keep you updated throughout the process so you know what to expect at every stage.

Our design process begins with understanding your vision, priorities, and how you’ll use the space. For most projects, we develop plans and clear layouts that guide the build. For larger or more complex renovations—when it adds value—we can offer 3D renderings or detailed interior design drawings at the client’s request. You’ll be involved at every step, ensuring the final design fits your needs and budget.

A building permit is usually required when a renovation involves an addition, structural or material alterations, or other major changes to the home. In Toronto, this can include adding or removing walls, building an addition, underpinning a basement, or changing windows and doors in ways that affect the structure or layout. Because permit requirements depend on the scope of work, we review each project carefully and let you know what approvals are needed. If a permit is required, we handle the drawings and application process for you.

A building permit covers structural work—like removing walls, adding floors, or extending your home. But when it comes to electrical work, you’ll need an ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) permit. This applies when you’re adding or altering electrical systems—and definitely if you’re replacing or relocating an electrical panel. In short, structural changes go through a building permit, while electrical upgrades and relocations are in the ESA’s domain. We’ll make sure both are handled properly, leaving you with no sparks of confusion!

Plumbing and HVAC work may require permits under municipal plumbing rules, often tied to a building permit if the work is substantial. If it’s a simple fixture replacement, you might not need one. For more significant changes—like relocating pipes or installing new systems—we’ll ensure all necessary permits are obtained, keeping your project fully above board.
