Turning a Bungalow into a Two-storey Home
Home Addition Project in East York
Creating More Space for a Young Couple with growing needs
BVM Contracting was the chosen home builder for this home addition project which turned a bungalow into a two-storey home for a young couple. Below Alex explains their experience in choosing the right builder and their ultimate decision in working with BVM Contracting.
Alex and his Wife Katherine knew all along that they were going to turn their existing bungalow into a two storey home right when the first bought the home. Both of their parent's completed large renovations projects so they knew what to expect and how to go about vetting and evaluating potential General Contractors/Home Builders for their project.
What started as bringing in another General Contractor (BVM Contracting) in to keep their front runner GC honest turned into a pivotal realization that BVM Contracting was the right builder for their job! After the first meeting Alex recalls turning to Katherine and saying "that's our guy" as Vince, the owner of BVM Contracting, left the first meeting with them.
Along the way of getting to know the project better, BVM Contracting was able to use our honest and proven pre-construction process to provide an itemized and detailed quote, show Alex and Katherine some of our ongoing work, and ultimately build up enough trust with the young couple to award us the project.
One of the major qualities that Alex and Katherine were looking for in their chosen General Contractor was that there was an in-house team of skilled labourers ready to tackle all of the in-between tasks and change orders that inevitably come up during a project of this size. BVM Contracting has an in-house team that allows us to work more efficiently, so we do not have to rely on our sub-contractors to come back when there are small items to attend to.
In the video above Alex touches on many of the items above and also gives some insight about his overall experience with his home build and working with BVM Contracting. This project was located in East York, Toronto.
