Budgets, selections, timelines and permit roadmaps for renovations and new homes across Ontario. Every decision made before construction needs it, reviewed by an experienced builder.
See packagesThey drift, one late decision at a time. These are situations we see on almost every project.
The framing is up. The electrician needs the layout, the plumber needs the sink location and the cabinet maker has drawings ready. Nobody has finalized the island, because the appliances haven't been chosen yet.
It isn't a construction problem. It's an information problem, and it becomes a construction problem fast.
At the start of the project there were weeks to compare samples. Now the installer is booked for Monday, and the flooring you love has an eight-week lead time.
You either settle for what's in stock or delay the job.
The contract says Lighting Allowance: $1,500, so it feels handled. But no fixtures have been picked, and the electrician needs locations, boxes and wiring before the walls close.
An allowance sets aside money. It doesn't make the decisions.
On the drawings, moving an outlet takes minutes. After wiring, it takes labour. After drywall, cabinets and backsplash, it takes all three trades back.
The cheapest place to make a change is on paper.
Every Blueprint gives each selection a decide-by date, so your builder, or you if you're building it yourself, has what's needed before it's needed.
From a single room to a new home.
