Our in-house design team, permits, and build crew work under one roof, so design intent carries straight through to the finished space.

The price we quote is the price you pay. We scope the work properly before we start, so there are no lowball bids that balloon into surprise change orders later.

Fantastic experience with them! The team was professional, attentive, and delivered high-quality work on time and within budget. Highly recommend for anyone building or renovating their home!
Andare did an amazing job renovating my house, they turned an old and boring basement into a modern and exciting place. Their attention to detail was astounding and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Andare took our outdated house and turned it into a modern, functional space. The new addition blends seamlessly with the existing structure.
The attention to detail is incredible. The Andare team has just finished building my home and I'm absolutely blown away. I've been living in here for just under a month now and I still haven't found a single flaw, you can really see their experience and craftsmanship in every part of the home.
Our basement went from an unfinished storage space to a fully functional family room. Amazing transformation, 5 stars, 100% recommend.
Andare delivered excellent quality and great service. The team was professional and made everything easy.
Your mature house, university-area property, townhome, or newer suburban home may carry competing uses. We define who needs privacy and which rooms stay shared. You see whether bedrooms, offices, kitchens, or living space create the main conflict. We avoid forcing one household model onto the plan. Your renovation supports the people actually using it. Flexibility has a purpose.
Your lower level may appear suited to a legal suite. We verify height, exits, fire separation, parking, services, and zoning before drawing it that way. You learn what approval and construction would require. We coordinate laundry and mechanical space with both levels. Your investment follows a credible use. A finished basement does not become a misleading unit.
Your older structure may have additions or services from different eras. We investigate where new openings, kitchens, or bathrooms depend on them. You see which work can stay and which needs upgrading. We group new service routes to limit disruption. Your ceilings and floors remain orderly. Technical decisions support the room plan.
Your lot's grade, trees, driveway, and neighbouring homes shape any addition. We test those conditions before setting its size. You can compare more area with reorganizing the existing house. We confirm Waterloo zoning and permit requirements at your address. Your option fits the property. The yard remains useful.
Your construction access may cross a shared drive or active household route. We plan deliveries, parking, waste, and weather protection early. You know how work will affect daily use. We separate crews from retained rooms where possible. Your schedule includes neighbour-sensitive activity. The build proceeds with fewer surprises.
We connect drawings, permits, selections, trade scopes and inspections to one construction schedule, so you can see who owns each decision before work starts. We leave regulated structural and service work visible for the required inspection, which prevents finished surfaces from hiding work that still needs review.
You need a scope that names the work, the boundary and the responsible party before you need a start date. We connect drawings, trades, products and inspections in one construction plan, so nobody discovers ownership after the wall is open.
You show us how you use the home, what must change and which areas must remain available, while we record the existing conditions and the construction scope. You see the conflict early, so the household can plan disruption.
We test the decision schedule beside the trade handoffs, so you see which move improves scope and schedule become clearer.
You compare complete options with plumbing and drainage and electrical and lighting included, so a simpler drawing never hides harder construction.
We carry structure and openings into the section and detail, so you understand what the visible choice requires behind it.
Planning general contractor in Waterloo? Talk it through with our in-house design team.
Your scope can include preconstruction review, written scope, trade coordination, procurement, site protection, construction, inspections and closeout. We connect each item to a location and outcome.
You also see where design or consultant services not listed, owner-supplied work, utility upgrades beyond the stated connection and concealed conditions remain separate, so the word complete never erases a boundary.
You bring coordinated documents and receive a defined build scope.
You test scope, sequencing and products before the site starts.
You plan protection and essential services around household use.
You coordinate structure, systems and finishes through one record.
We measure existing dimensions, routes and service locations, so you know whether the work follows coordinated documents.
We test a 900 mm protected household route, so you can move through an occupied home without entering the work zone.
You see drawings, product requirements and trade clearances together, so responsibility stays visible.
You should see scope, responsible parties, products, exclusions, inspections, protection and closeout. We define those items for your condominium near Uptown Waterloo before work starts.
We confirm the actual scope and live path with City of Waterloo. You see which regulated work must remain visible for inspection before the schedule closes it.
We connect each trade to the same drawings, conditions, product dates and inspection sequence. You see who needs what next at every handoff.
We document the condition, response, cost or schedule consequence and authorization. You can distinguish a new choice from the agreed scope.
Only when we maintain safe access and essential services. We show you closures and shutdowns before approving the sequence.
Send the address, photos, drawings, known permits and intended scope. We identify the first document, permit or responsibility gap.
