Can my existing foundation carry a second storey?

Often yes, particularly in newer Vaughan subdivisions. A structural engineer reviews the footings and walls first; if reinforcement is required, we price it before you commit.

How long do City of Vaughan approvals take?

Straightforward permits generally take six to eight weeks. If a minor variance is needed for setbacks or lot coverage, add roughly three months for the Committee of Adjustment.

Will the addition look attached or added-on?

We match brick, stone, siding, roof pitch and window styles, and where an exact match is impossible we design a deliberate transition so it reads as intentional.
