We hired VGC because of the reputation. We wanted a company that stood behind their name, and that’s exactly what they did. The entire team were fantastic to work with. Ravi and Hoda were exceptional, the expertise they brought with them exceeded our expectations. The entire building of a new bathroom was like watching an artist paint a picture. The trades they use are professional and treated us with respect. We are extremely happy with the final step. Thanks VGC
Quality
We are committed to offering the best value for your investment. With our Price Match Guarantee, you can rest assured that you’re getting top-quality work at the most competitive price. If you find a lower quote for the same service and materials, we’ll match it—because your satisfaction and trust are our top priorities.
Our team of experts will do a free site evaluation with you, to go over zoning bylaws, setbacks, and municipal requirements, so that you have a clear understanding of what can be built.
We do it all for you. As experts we understand the complexities of working with the city and what they need for permitting. All the building permit will be part of our scope of work, so that you don't have to worry about it.
Every municipality is different from what they need for permits and how long it takes to issue them. Most municipalities are working towards being more efficient, and usually take 6-8 months to issue a permit.
Our projects are based on a fixed price quote, which means we will work with you at the design stage to create a quote for your build and allowances for all your materials. This way you are in the driver's seat with peace of mind of knowing what you will pay when the project is complete.
We pride ourselves on quality and efficiency. Based on our extensive experience a typical laneway house will take 7-10 months depending on complexity and site conditions.
No hidden fees or extra charges. We stick to the budget we gave you when we planned the project.
