Transforming East York business spaces with elite design and expert local project management.



Sleep soundly knowing your commercial project is protected by $5 million in liability insurance and full WSIB clearance. This protects your business from legal liabilities during the risky phases of structural renovation and heavy construction.
Our layouts are engineered to enhance employee workflow, utilizing glass partitions for natural light and acoustic materials to manage sound levels. This approach has helped our clients in East York see tangible improvements in team focus and overall work satisfaction.
We provide a week-by-week schedule that accounts for material lead times and trade coordination to ensure your business opens on time. We understand that every day your doors are closed is a day of lost revenue, so we treat your move-in date as our highest priority.
We conduct a detailed walkthrough to evaluate existing mechanical, electrical, and structural systems. This prevents hidden costs by identifying necessary infrastructure upgrades early in the project. We verify if the current space can support your planned commercial load or equipment.
Once design concepts are approved, we provide a transparent, itemized quote that locks in the price. Our contracts are detailed, outlining specific material specs and payment milestones so there is zero ambiguity. This financial clarity is essential for business budgeting and financing approvals.
Construction is managed in logical phases to allow for inspections and specialized trade work without delays. Our on-site supervisors oversee every detail, ensuring that framing, plumbing, and electrical work are performed to the highest commercial standards. We hold weekly progress meetings with you to keep you updated on the project's velocity.
Before the keys are returned, we perform a thorough deficiencies walkthrough to ensure every finish meets our 'Built By Pros' standard. We assist with obtaining the final occupancy permit from the city and hand over all warranties and O&M manuals. We remain available after completion to ensure your business transition into the new space is flawless.
For active businesses, we can schedule high-impact work like demolition or drilling during off-market hours or weekends to minimize disruption. We utilize dust-containment systems and temporary sound barriers to ensure your staff or adjacent businesses are not negatively impacted. Our goal is to maintain a professional environment while the transformation takes place.
Most commercial projects in East York require a Building Permit from the City of Toronto, especially if you are altering structural walls, plumbing, or life-safety systems like fire alarms. If the property's use is changing (e.g., from an office to a restaurant), you may also need a 'Change of Use' permit. Our team handles all CAD drawings and municipal applications to ensure you are 100% compliant.
Yes, we specialize in high-efficiency LED lighting, smart HVAC controls, and superior insulation packages that significantly lower utility costs. Many older buildings in East York lack proper thermal envelopes; we can install high-performance windows and roofing to create a more sustainable facility. These upgrades often qualify for commercial rebates and provide a substantial return on investment over time.
Absolutely. While we offer in-house design services, we frequently collaborate with external architects and interior designers to bring their blueprints to life. We act as the expert builder, providing value-engineering suggestions to keep the project within budget while maintaining the integrity of the original design. Clear communication between the builder and designer is a core part of our process.

Learn MoreBuilt By Pros handled our 2,500 sq. ft. retail renovation in Danforth Village with incredible professionalism. They managed the entire permitting process which was a nightmare due to the age of the building, and the result is a stunning, modern space that has already increased our foot traffic. The project was completed in just eight weeks, right on schedule for our grand opening.
We hired Ricardo and his team for a complete office remodel in East York including a full teardown of the old cubicle layout. They installed beautiful glass partitions and a modern break area that our staff absolutely loves. The attention to detail on the electrical upgrades for our server room was perfect, and they kept the site spotless throughout the four-month process.
I've worked with many contractors, but Built By Pros stands out for their honesty. They renovated a commercial unit for us on O'Connor Drive, and even when they found structural issues in the foundation, they presented a clear change order and fixed it without blowing the budget. The custom staircase they built is the centerpiece of the unit and adds massive value to the property.
