For Engineers
A builder that builds your details exactly as engineered
When you stamp a drawing, you need it built the way you designed it, not value-engineered on site by whoever is holding the gun. Andare Homes reads the full structural set, carries the load paths and connections to spec, and coordinates with you cleanly from first review to final inspection across the GTA.
Built to the engineered drawings, not around them
LVL, PSL, glulam, and steel beams set where you put them. Point loads carried cleanly down through the floors to bearing. Connectors, hangers, and fasteners installed per your details, not substituted to whatever is on the truck. When a moment in the design depends on a hidden beam or a transfer condition, we build it the way it was engineered to perform.
Our in-house design team reads the structural set alongside the architecturals before a single line goes in the ground, so conflicts surface as questions during coordination, not as field problems after the work is wrong.
Clean coordination, no surprises at review
The work that makes your job easy is the work that arrives the way it was drawn. We flag genuine constructability issues early, while there is still time to resolve them on paper, and we keep you in the loop on anything that touches the structure.
- Engineered floor and roof systems built to the layout and span tables.
- Steel-to-wood connections, cantilevers, and transfer beams executed to detail.
- Foundations, underpinning, and load paths handled with your sequencing in mind.
- Site-ready access for review, with the conditions exposed when you need to see them.
The goal is simple: when you come to site, the work tells the story for itself, and the review is a confirmation, not a correction.
One accountable team through inspection
Because design and construction sit under one roof at Andare, there is no gap between the people who read your drawings and the people who build them. One team is accountable for the structural scope, the trades that follow, and a clean pass at inspection, whether the project is a custom home, a home addition, or a structural renovation.
We are licensed, insured, WSIB-covered, and Tarion-registered for qualifying new builds, with a 2-year workmanship warranty and a 5.0 rating across 55 Google reviews behind the work.
Engineer FAQ
Will Andare build exactly to my structural drawings?
Yes. We read the full structural set alongside the architecturals and build to the load paths, connections, and details as engineered, not a value-engineered shortcut.
How do you handle RFIs or a genuine site conflict?
We flag it as a clear RFI while there is still time to resolve it on paper, rather than improvising a fix on site. Design decisions stay with you.
Do you coordinate directly with structural engineers during construction?
Yes. Our in-house design team coordinates beam sizing, bearing, and load paths directly with your engineer, so the structure and the drawings stay in sync from review through inspection.
What types of projects do you build to engineered plans for?
Home additions, second-storey additions, custom homes, structural renovations, and basement underpinning are common projects where we build to your engineered drawings.
Are you licensed and insured for structural work like underpinning?
Yes. Andare Homes is licensed, fully insured, and WSIB-covered, with a 2-year workmanship warranty on every project.
Who is my point of contact during construction?
One accountable team, from first review of your drawings through to a clean pass at inspection, so you are not chasing separate contacts for design and construction questions.
