Quick FAQ

New Foundation & ICF FAQs

Have questions about ICF versus poured concrete, the cost of a foundation for an addition, or our timeline? Find your answers here.

How much does a foundation for an addition cost?

It depends on size, depth, and soil conditions. We provide a detailed quote after reviewing your plans and visiting the site. Contact us for a project-specific estimate.

Do you handle the excavation and soil removal?

Yes. We handle excavation, soil removal, and site prep. Our crews work on tight Toronto lots with limited access and coordinate to minimize disruption to your property and neighbours.

What is the difference between poured concrete and ICF foundations?

Poured concrete is the traditional method — strong and cost-effective. ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) uses foam blocks that stay in place after the pour, adding built-in insulation. ICF costs more upfront but can reduce heating costs over time. We build both and can recommend the best fit for your project.

Do I need a building permit for a foundation in Toronto?

Yes. Every new foundation in Toronto requires a building permit, engineered drawings, and City inspections. We coordinate the permit process and inspections from start to finish. You receive all signed-off documentation for your records.

Can you build a foundation for a laneway house or garden suite?

Yes. Toronto allows laneway suites and garden suites, and we build the foundations for them. We handle zoning, setback, and code requirements and design the right foundation for your lot.
