Who we are.

Savino Construction is a custom home builder and renovation contractor for the Greater Toronto Area, founded [year] and run by Kam Oveisy. [Kam: how Savino started, in his words.] The company builds the heavy part of the house: custom homes, second storeys, additions, whole-home renovations, underpinning, load-bearing removals and laneway suites, with its own crew and its own trades.

Projects to date: [n]. [Kam confirms the count and which projects can be shown.]

What we refuse to do.

We do not give a number before a site walk and a drawing. A number given before that is a guess, and a guess is what turns into a change order later.

We do not hand a job to whoever is free. The person who prices your job runs it, from the site walk to the deficiency list.

We do not start structural work without the permit in hand, and we do not draw a house before reading the zoning for the lot.

We do not hide the price in allowances. Every line is priced against a named material in a catalogue you keep.

How the date holds.

The handover date is written into the contract. If it is missed for a reason that is ours, we pay you [$n] per day until you get your keys. [Kam confirms the terms and exclusions.] The date holds because of what comes before it: engineered drawings before the quote, the permit before the start, and daily photo updates that catch a slip on the day it happens rather than the month after.

A workmanship warranty of [term] is issued in writing at handover. [Kam confirms the term and whether it transfers to the next owner.]

Where we build.

29 municipalities: the City of Toronto and its former boroughs, Peel, York, Durham and Halton. Every one has its own page with the permit office named and the local notes written down. [Kam confirms the municipalities Savino has built in and any it does not serve.]

Sister companyDesire Basements. The owner's basement and renovation company: 400+ projects since 2017, a lifetime workmanship warranty and a $200 per day on-time guarantee. Until Savino has its own photo library, some project photos on this site come from that company's work and are labelled as such.

The paperwork behind the crew is on the paperwork page. The way a job runs is on how we work.
