Where we build · Mississauga, Peel Region

Custom home builder and renovation contractor in Mississauga

Mississauga has two housing markets on one map. South of the QEW, Port Credit, Lorne Park and Mineola are tear-down and rebuild streets where a 1950s house on a deep lot makes way for a custom home. North of it, the 1970s and 1980s subdivisions of Erin Mills, Meadowvale and Streetsville are second storey and addition territory, with houses that were built well and planned small.

Mississauga in detail

Mississauga, on the ground.

Savino Construction builds both. A custom home on a Lorne Park lot is a different job from a second storey in Meadowvale, but the paperwork standard is the same: engineered drawings, an itemized quote and a contract date before anything is signed.

The City of Mississauga issues the building permit. Lots along the Credit River and the lakefront fall under the conservation authority, and the City's mature neighbourhood rules shape what a new house can look like on a street of older ones. [Kam confirms typical Mississauga permit timing.]

Housing stock

What the lots allow

Mississauga splits into tear-down lots south of the QEW in Port Credit, Lorne Park and Mineola, and 1970s and 1980s subdivisions north of it that take second storeys and additions well.

Questions from Mississauga

Yes, and many lots there have been. The City's rules for mature neighbourhoods set the height, the setbacks and how the house sits relative to the neighbours, so the zoning check comes first and shapes the design.

The City of Mississauga. A second storey, an addition and a new house all need a building permit with engineered drawings, and lots near the Credit River or the lake add a conservation authority review.

Often, yes. Side-splits and bungalows from the 1960s and 1970s take a second floor with reinforcement, and the lots have room for the crane. The engineer confirms it from a test pit before drawings.
