Common Multi-Unit Renovation
Hidden Risks & Unexpected Costs
Managing a multi-unit property comes with hidden risks.
The most common nightmare for property managers is discovering old plumbing behind the walls, facing unexpected code violations, or dealing with delayed sub-contractors that destroy a property's ROI.
Our "No Hidden Costs" Philosophy
We eliminate surprises. Before we begin a turnover or a legal suite conversion, our in-house experts thoroughly assess your units. Often, property owners want to save money by keeping old pipes.
However, if we discover that preserving old, behind-the-wall plumbing will jeopardize your entire investment and lead to future leaks, we don't hide it. We believe in total financial transparency.
While final renovation costs can vary once walls are opened, we protect your investment by identifying potential structural and mechanical risks before construction begins. We walk you through any possible surprise scenarios upfront and clearly outline exactly what they will cost if they occur. This ensures you are fully prepared and never caught off guard by unexpected issues after the drywall goes up.

Seamless Material
Procurement
You do not need to waste your valuable time sourcing or managing materials. We handle the entire procurement process for you, ensuring that all necessary materials are ordered and delivered exactly when needed to keep the construction schedule moving without delays.
Tenant Comfort & Common Area Protection
Common Area Protection
- We do not just walk in with dirty boots.
- We install heavy-duty protective padding (elevator blankets) inside your elevators.
- We wrap common door frames to prevent any scratches, dents, or damage.
Strict Working Hours
- We respect your tenants' sleep schedules.
- Noisy operations (heavy drilling or demolition) are strictly limited to 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM.
- Our crew takes a mandatory lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.
- We resume noisy work only between 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM.
Immaculate Clean-Up
- We use plastic zip-wall dust barriers and HEPA-filtered vacuums inside the unit.
- Before our crews clock out at 4:30 PM, the site is fully inspected.
- We never leave without ensuring the common corridors are completely clean and free of dust for your tenants.
Parking Discipline
- Our workers will never steal a parking spot from your existing tenants.
- We strictly coordinate with building management upon arrival.
- We use only the designated contractor parking areas provided to us.
OBC Compliance & Material Selection
ROI-Focused Material Selection
We aim to protect your investment from heavy tenant wear and tear. While final material selections always depend entirely on your specific preferences and project scope, we frequently recommend high-durability options for multi-unit properties. Examples of these project-specific upgrades often include:
100% waterproof and highly resistant to pet scratches and heavy foot traffic.
Heat and scratch-resistant to prevent damage from hot pots and pans.
Upgrading to heavy-duty hinges and reinforced door handles so cabinets survive multiple lease cycles.
OBC 2024 Fire Safety & Code Mastery
Multi-unit fire separation and safety regulations are complex and vary greatly depending on the property. We handle the entire BCIN design and municipal permit process in-house, tailoring our approach to your building's specific age, location, and legal requirements. Depending on your project scope, solutions may include:
For some older buildings (>5 years), we may utilize code-approved wireless interconnected smoke and CO alarms to save the massive cost of tearing down ceilings for new wiring.
For newer properties (<5 years) facing stricter Part 9 OBC rules, your project might require 1-hour fire separations (using double layers of fire-rated drywall) or mandatory fire dampers and shutters in HVAC ductwork.
For properties located in high-risk areas like Sarnia or Windsor, we can incorporate professional sump pumps and backwater valves to prevent costly sewer backups.
