Every job, with the numbers on it.

Square footage and weeks on site, on every project. Filter by what you are planning. Every card is a sample until Savino's own files replace it; concept imagery and Desire Basements photos are labelled as such.

Case study · sample

A second storey on a Vaughan bungalow, told in numbers.

Every case study on the live site reads like this: what the client had, what changed, how long it took. Figures come from Savino's own files.

The problem

A 1,100 sq ft bungalow, a growing family, a lot too narrow for a rear addition. The only way was up.

What we did

New footings at four corners, a steel moment frame, a full second floor with three bedrooms and two baths, and a reworked staircase so the old house and the new floor read as one.

The result

Handed over on the contract date. The family never moved out. Photos from the owner's other company stand in until Savino has its own.
