OUR IN-DEPTH PROJECT PROCESS

General contractor & home renovations Hamilton Ontario

PHASE 1 – CONSULTATION, DESIGN, PERMIT PROCESS

Phase 1 is to establish the needs and goals for your home improvement or business project. We will book preliminary meeting to discuss your wish list. Once we agree on the direction and design – we take them to the drafting table. *Payment is required at this time to cover the engineering and architectural costs if prints and design are required. The time it takes to plan your project is as important as the time it takes to actually build it. This is a crucial process which allows us – and you – to eliminate the guesswork and give you an accurate estimate of a budget, time and what you can expect upon completion.

PHASE 2 – SITE SETUP, DEMOLITION, FRAMING

Once we have established design, budget, timeline and signed a contract, its time to prepare the site for construction. We set up all necessary information boards, section off any areas that may be affected by demolition and construction then begin the process of framing your dream space. *Payment Required

PHASE 3 – PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, HVAC, INSPECTIONS

Now that your project is framed and ready, we bring our team of professional plumbers, electricians and HVAC technicians in to do their magic. The work within your walls and ceilings is just as important as the finishing touches like cabinets and trim. All inspections are completed during this phase.

PHASE 4 – EXTERIOR FINISHES, WINDOWS, DOORS

All of the exterior finishes are covered throughout your project. We install siding, stucco, eavestrough, garage doors and all exterior doors and windows. With our team of experts, you can be comfortable knowing that all areas around your home or business are sealed properly and installed right!

PHASE 5 – DRYWALL, CARPENTRY, PAINT

Lets start putting your project back together! We install batt and spray foam insulation, hang drywall, mud and tape, install tile, hardwood, laminate or epoxy, Install trim and doors and begin priming and painting your space. You really start to see your space turn into everything we discussed during Phase 1. *Payment Required

PHASE 6 – CABINETRY, FIXTURES

Its time for cabinetry, counters, lighting, faucets, handles and all the small details related to completing your home or business. Attention to detail at this stage is our highest concern. We invite you to visit the site more often in Phase 5 so we ensure, as a team, that every aspect of your project has come together as planned.

PHASE 7 – DEFICIENCIES, QUALITY INSPECTIONS, CLEANING

Final inspections are booked and completed. All deficiencies are tuned up and made right before we hand you back your space. Last things last, we bring a professional cleaning service in to deep clean your new space.

PROJECT COMPLETE

Time to celebrate! You made it through the process of completing a project. Weather it was a major or minor sized renovation, you stuck with it and we are proud to have been a part of your dreams. We can now shake hands, enjoy a drink and relax. *Final Payment

Building Dreams was easy to work with from start to finish. We did a main floor renovation as well as new doors and trim in the entire house. Mike is very personable and not only understood our vision, but improved upon it with his attention to detail. The whole team is very professional and precise in their workmanship. They went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction with the end result. They are a positive and upbeat crew that are enjoyable to be around.We would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to have work done.

After waiting for over a year to engage the right contractor who I felt confident would do a great job, based on a recommendation, I finally chose Building Dreams. I was not disappointed. Building Dreams totally exceeded my expectations with the remodelling of my bathroom and upgraded fireplace. The team and the process was very professional and collaborative and it was a pleasure to work with Liam and Mitch. They made sure that I was involved in every step of the process and were very customer focused. I can't say enough about their creativity, quality of work and perfectionism. They always arrived on time and worked hard to get the daily assignments completed, followed by a clean up at the end of the every day. I am so happy that I have found a contractor I can trust to do a great job and will definitely be engaging their services in the future.

Grant and Mike from Building Dreams Contracting took our main floor renovation from start to finish. I wasn’t entirely sure where to start but I knew I wanted an open concept living area and a new kitchen. These two were able to help me throughout the process, making suggestions on where to spend and where to hold back in order stay on budget. The kitchen is beautiful and so functional. I was able to get drawer organizers, easy pull out garbage and recycling storage and built in microwave that I love. I’d recommend the team at Building Dreams Contracting to anyone. We are very happy!
