No Surprises, Just Clarity

We visit your property to assess the project scope in detail. Our estimator will take measurements, evaluate existing conditions, discuss your vision, and understand any constraints or special requirements.

This is where we dive deep into your project. We'll assess structural considerations, discuss material options that fit your style and budget, identify any potential challenges, and explain what permits might be required. You'll receive a comprehensive, itemized quote that breaks down exactly what's included.

Planning & Permits

We Handle the Paperwork

Once you're ready to proceed, our team takes over the administrative heavy lifting. We manage permit applications, coordinate with the City of Calgary, and develop detailed project plans.

Calgary's permitting process can be complex, especially for secondary suites and major renovations. Our team has extensive experience navigating these requirements. We'll prepare all necessary documentation, submit applications, respond to any city requests, and keep you informed throughout the approval process.

What to Expect

  • Development permit application (if required)
  • Building permit submission
  • Plan development and refinement
  • Material selection assistance
  • Regular status updates

Finalization Meeting

Lock It All In

Before construction begins, we meet to review every detail. We'll walk through the final scope, confirm material selections, review the timeline, and address any last questions.

This meeting ensures we're all on the same page before any work begins. We'll review the contract together, explain our communication process during construction, introduce your project manager, and confirm the start date. You'll know exactly what to expect and when.

What to Expect

  • Final scope and material confirmation
  • Contract review and signing
  • Project manager introduction
  • Communication plan overview
  • Start date confirmation

You'll have direct access to your project manager for any questions or concerns. We coordinate all inspections and keep you informed of progress.

  • Daily site cleanliness

After final inspection approval and thorough cleaning, we hand over your completed project. We'll walk you through everything, provide documentation, and explain your warranty coverage.

The final walkthrough is your opportunity to review every detail of the completed work. We'll demonstrate any new systems (HVAC, electrical panels, etc.), provide maintenance tips, and hand over all warranty documentation. Our commitment doesn't end at handover - we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranty coverage.

Compliance before construction begins
Quality checks before inspections
