Our FAQ

In Ontario, building permits are required for most construction, including new buildings, additions, and major renovations. Permit exemptions exist for small projects, including structures under 10 square metres without plumbing and decks under 60 centimetres above grade. Permit requirements vary by municipality and project scope. Contact your local building department or discuss permit requirements with your contractor before starting work.

Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and factors like weather and permit processing. A deck may take days, while a new home takes months. The best way to get a realistic timeline is to discuss your specific project during a consultation. Vrix Construction provides timeline expectations as part of the estimate process so you know what to anticipate before work begins.
