We are based in Hamilton and mainly work there and in the surrounding communities but we also work in and around the Halton, Wellington, Waterloo, Brant, and Niagara regions. . If you are slightly further afield (I’m looking at you Toronto and vacation country) we can also work with you but it is very project dependent.
Design + Build
Does it really need explanation? We work closely with a regular team of designers, engineers and architects to figure out and then execute your project. It is the main method of work for us and all of the projects highlighted have come from that very process.
General Contracting
You bring us designs, preferably ready for permit, and we figure how to make it all happen. We can’t promise there won’t be some misunderstandings between the construction team and the design professionals (see the above section for how we normally try to deal with that).
We do also separately offer design services with no expectation or clause that we must be used as builders too.
Heritage Conservation
This is where it can get very philosophical. The answer for each project varies but generally we try to keep as much old fabric as possible and sympathetically blend new where it cannot be saved. Often we mix this almost museological approach with new contemporary additions. Saving the old but with all the modern world too.
“Good design is like good type setting. It provides the space for information to be shared or the ability to tell a story. It is not itself the main event, merely support. ”
If some of the above were interesting you might be wondering what kinds of projects we offer them on. Renovations, retrofits, rehabilitations, new construction, custom homes, residential, businesses, commercial and institutions. That list is partially to enlighten you and also for SEO (search engine optimization) Thanks for making it this far.
