Clear and open communication is key to success and we work closely with clients to resolve any construction issues to keep the project on track. Our customer first approach is the reason why we’ve been able to grow into a trusted reliable company who is committed to building your dream home where your family can make memories for years to come.

Our online client management system is SJ’s commitment to our customers and ensures that our transparent process and inclusive approach will keep you involved throughout the project.

“We hired SJ Construction to transform our 1970’s townhouse into a beautiful modern home and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Sean was at the table from the start of the design process and connected us with our designer and architect. He was critical to the pre-construction design and approval process allowing us to go from a vague idea to plans, strata approval and demolition in just under 5 months.”

Our Process

Our mission is to put the customer first and deliver a product that we’re proud of. We make you our priority and work with you every step of the way to ensure your expectations are not only met, but exceeded. Contact us today for a free no-obligation consultation to discuss your project.

Consultation

The first step in our process is to meet with you in person to discuss your ideas and understand your needs. This process ensures that you, as the homeowner, are working towards a budget rather than planning towards an open-ended and costly renovation, as well as a clear understanding of scheduling and timelines. SJ Construction believes that you should have control over every decision from beginning to end. Client control means you see real costs and budgets and approve payments at every milestone. Once a budget has been established, concept drawings are complete (if required), and specifications are documented in the scope of work, SJ Construction will provide you with a finalized budget, including all aspects of the renovation.

Online Access

Once you’ve decided to move forward with us, we want to make sure you’re in the loop every step of the way. We’ll provide you with login credentials to our online portal where you can login to keep track of the budget and the schedule, view progress photos, and submit new requests. You’ll also be able view and approve change orders, add or modify selections, access important documents, as well as utilize our online messaging system, where you can easily communicate with our team no matter if you are at home, or on vacation.

Architectural Design

The next major step in your project is to meet with our Architectural Design team. Working closely with you, they will ensure your vision for your space becomes a reality. Once the initial design concepts are approved, they will develop a comprehensive design package to submit for permitting and zoning review.

Interior Design

Parallel to the construction phase, and right after the architectural design phase is completed, you will start working with our interior design team to put the finishing touches on your space, making it uniquely yours. From initial space plans to material selection and millwork, we will ensure every detail is meticulously attended to and that your finished build comes in on budget.

Construction

Once we have the approved permits and finalized scheduling, we can begin the construction phase of your project. Throughout this phase you can expect continuous client meetings, team updates and full transparency through your online access.Prior to the commencement of any work, we prepare your home for construction. Temporary partitions are set up, floors are protected, and tools are placed in a designated area. Work then begins with demolition and preparations are made for rough-in construction work such as plumbing, electrical, mechanical systems, and rough carpentry.

Completion

When the project is close to being completed, we will walk through the construction site with you and create a “Completion List”. This will be your opportunity to point out anything that still requires some attention. Once the list is compiled, the team will go through the list and complete all the items. We will then activate the warranty portion of the online portal and review and inform you of any regular maintenance required to protect your investment.
