Six steps, no surprises

You always know what happens next, who is doing it and when it will be finished.

Our full process

1. 01 Week 1

   Site visit & discovery

   Out Site notes and a written ballpark range

2. 02 2–8 weeks

   Design & pre-construction

   Our designers and engineers turn the brief into drawings. Estimators price every trade, so the proposal is a number, not a guess.

3. 03 2–10 weeks

   Permits & scheduling

   We file permits, book inspections, order long-lead materials and build a dated schedule with every milestone.

   Out Approved permits and a dated schedule

4. 04 Per schedule

   Construction

   Your superintendent runs the site every day. You get a photo report every Friday and a site meeting every two weeks.

   Out Weekly photo reports and site meetings

   We walk every room with you, list anything that is not right and fix it before final payment. Then we clean and hand over the keys.

   Out Closed deficiency list and an owner’s manual

6. 06 2 years

   Warranty & aftercare

   We come back after 30 days and again before the warranty ends. If something moves, cracks or leaks, we fix it.

09 / Site log

What clients say after the dust settles

Homeowners, property managers and business owners, in their own words.

• Log 001

  “Fourteen months, one superintendent, zero drama. Plumb & Level built the house we drew and told us about every decision before it became a problem.”

  Rania Haddad

  Custom home, north end

• Log 002

  “We lived at home through the whole renovation with two toddlers. The dust walls worked, the crew was kind, and the kitchen is perfect.”

  Priya M.

  Kitchen & main floor renovation

  “An 18,000 sq ft office in 16 weeks in an occupied building. Every Monday we got a look-ahead, and every Friday it was done.”

  Alicia Grant

11 / Questions

Questions we hear on every first visit

Straight answers about price, permits, schedules and living through a renovation.

01 Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We are a licensed general contractor with $5 million in liability insurance, and every crew on site carries workplace insurance. We send certificates before any work starts.

02 Do you work on a fixed price?

Yes. After design, we give you a fixed-price proposal with written allowances for finishes you have not picked yet. The price only changes if you change the scope, and every change is priced and signed before work starts.

03 How long will my project take?

Kitchens and bathrooms usually take 4 to 10 weeks, main-floor renovations 8 to 20 weeks, additions 4 to 8 months and custom homes 10 to 16 months. Your proposal includes a dated schedule.

04 Do you handle permits?

Yes. We prepare permit drawings with our design and engineering partners, file the application, book every inspection and keep the paperwork for your records.

05 Can we live at home during a renovation?

Often, yes. We seal the work area with dust walls, protect floors and agree on working hours. For whole-house or second-storey work we usually recommend moving out for part of the job.

06 What warranty do you give?

Every project has a two-year written workmanship warranty, plus all manufacturer warranties. New homes are also enrolled in the new-home warranty program.
