Student rental basement finishes
Legal basement units near UWO, Fanshawe, and the broader UWO area — egress windows, fire separation, sound-rated assemblies, and London's Residential Rental Unit Licensing inspections handled end-to-end.
General Contractor in
London, Ontario
From Western University rental properties to Old North heritage homes to Byron's larger-lot builds, London's market splits four ways and we work all of them. Legal basement units near UWO and Fanshawe with rental licensing compliance, century-home renovations on Wortley Village's tree-lined streets, kitchen-and-great-room additions in Hyde Park and Masonville, structural openings in 1970s Westmount side-splits — the Forest City has its own renovation rhythm and we know it after years of working through London Building Division permits and Heritage Permit applications.
Built for Forest City homes
From Old North heritage homes to Hyde Park new builds and student rental basements near Western — we know London's permit process, neighbourhood character, and the realities of older brick foundations.
UWO rental compliance
Western and Fanshawe make London's basement-rental market unique in Ontario. We build secondary units that pass London's Residential Rental Unit Licensing — proper egress, fire separation, sound assemblies — plus permits through the London Building Division for structural work and additions.
