Certified, covered and audited

Safety accreditation is not decoration on a commercial site. It is what decides whether a contractor is allowed to bid at all.

  • COR National Standard certification mark, certified by IHSA.ca — Work Safe for Life.

    An audited health and safety program certified by the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association. It is what lets us bid work that screens contractors on safety.

  • WSIB Ontario, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.

    Coverage in good standing, so no liability sits with you if someone is hurt on your site.

  • Luso Canadian Charitable Society.

    A community organisation we support.

What we are hired to do

Not a trade list. This is the work of carrying a project from a first conversation to a signed-off handover.

General contracting

We hold the contract, carry the insurance and the COR certification, and are responsible for the finished result. One number to call when something needs deciding.

Project management

Scheduling, trade coordination, inspections and the critical path. You get a programme at the start and a straight answer whenever it moves.

Permits and approvals

Drawings prepared and submitted, inspections booked and attended, sign-off chased. The part of a build that quietly eats months if nobody owns it.

Builder and developer work

Site hoarding, temporary fencing and permanent fencing at handover, phased around an active site so your trades keep working.

Commercial and institutional

Perimeter security, access control and exterior work for yards, facilities, schools and managed properties, scheduled around operating hours.

Design-build

Where the scope is still forming, we price options honestly and tell you which ones are worth the money before anything is committed.

TODO(Cole): written logo-use permission is still outstanding for these. Names are factual; a licence to display a mark is a separate thing.

How a managed project runs

Every stage in order, with the timing we actually expect.

  1. Scope and site review

    We walk the property, establish what you actually need, and flag the things that will drive cost or schedule before they become surprises.

    Within a few days of your call

  2. Written scope and fixed price

    Everything listed: materials, quantities, inclusions, exclusions and who is responsible for what. Nothing left to be settled later.

    Two to five business days

  3. Permits and programme

    Drawings submitted where required, trades booked, and a schedule you can hold us to. Municipal review time is the one thing outside our control.

    Varies by municipality

  4. Build

    One site contact throughout. Progress updates at agreed points rather than only when you chase.

    Per the agreed programme

  5. Inspection and handover

    Inspections signed off, deficiency walk completed with you, list cleared, site left clean.

What customers said

Ismail did a superlative job replacing our 20+ year old wood fence — everything that was quoted was done, including the price. The job site was spotless on completion, and he even went out of his way to fill several large ruts left on our lawn by a previous contractor.

Edward S.

Ismail and his team made a world of difference when we wanted privacy while keeping the beauty and curb appeal of our property. They are reliable, creative, and still reasonably priced. Most important, they do what they say and show up when they say they will.

Verified homeowner review

Did a great job on our project. I liked that they used screw joints, not a nail gun. Bottom line: you get what you pay for. Highly recommend these guys.
