Who are Built By Pros Inc?

From a few renovations in 2008, to the GTA's leading renovation company today.

Some of the best partnerships are born out of friction. When Suzanne Morgan hired Ricardo Lora to renovate her newly purchased Midtown Toronto home, neither of them could have predicted it would be the start of something far bigger than a single project. Ricardo will be the first to tell you: Suzanne was the most demanding client he'd ever worked with. But somewhere between the blueprint revisions and the final coat of paint, it became clear that her exacting eye and his seasoned crew were something rare together — a perfect match.

Built By Pros Inc. was founded in 2008 on exactly that insight. Suzanne brought with her a University of Waterloo architecture degree, an MBA, and nearly a decade of running her own design and renovation consultancy, Renovate with Style. Ricardo brought what great contractors are built on: deep construction expertise, trusted trades, and a team that knows how to get the work done right. Where most renovation companies handed clients a hammer and a handshake, Built By Pros offered something different — a seamless, end-to-end experience where design and construction spoke the same language from day one.

That integration is still what sets them apart. Too often, homeowners are caught in the gap between a designer's vision and a builder's reality — left to manage conflicting timelines, miscommunications, and costly surprises. Built By Pros was built to close that gap. Suzanne's design leadership ensures every project is thoughtfully conceived; Ricardo's construction team ensures it's expertly executed. The result is a renovation experience that feels cohesive, communicative, and — for their clients — refreshingly smooth.

Today, more than 15 years later, Built By Pros Inc. serves homeowners across the Greater Toronto Area who want their renovation done well and done right. The company Ricardo and Suzanne built from one famously difficult project has grown into a trusted name in Toronto's renovation landscape — proof that the best client you ever had might just be the one who pushes you hardest.

Our Process

1

Consultation and Quote

We start with a thorough walkthrough of your space to understand your goals and budget. You'll receive a clear, itemized quote with no hidden costs.

2

Contract

Once you're happy with the quote, we formalize the agreement with a straightforward contract that outlines scope, timeline, and payment milestones.

3

Design and Confirm Scope of Work and Price

Together we finalize the full scope of work, select materials and finishes, and lock in a transparent, itemized price. Your sign-off confirms we're fully aligned before construction begins.

4

Initial Change Order Approval

If the scope shifts, we document every change in writing before any additional work begins — so there are never surprises on the final invoice.

5

CAD, Engineering and Permits

Our team handles all CAD drawings, structural engineering sign-offs, and municipal permit applications on your behalf, keeping the project legally compliant from day one.

6

Detailed Project Planning

We build a week-by-week schedule covering trades, material deliveries, and inspections so every subcontractor is coordinated and on-site at the right time.

7

Project Kick Off Meeting

Before the first hammer swings, we bring together the entire site team and walk you through the schedule, daily site access, and who to contact for any questions.

8

Construction Phase

Our crew gets to work with daily site supervision and regular client updates. We maintain a clean, safe jobsite and address any field decisions quickly to keep momentum going.

9

Complete and Closeout Project

We do a full walkthrough with you, complete our deficiency list, and hand over all warranties, permits, and documentation — leaving you with a finished space and total peace of mind.
