FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A starter set of common questions. We expand this as clients ask new ones — if your question isn't here, ask us directly.
Are you licensed to build new homes in Ontario?
Yes. GSP Builder Inc. holds HCRA Licence B64606. The HCRA (Home Construction Regulatory Authority) licenses all new-home builders and vendors in Ontario. You can verify any builder at hcraontario.ca.
What areas do you serve?
We work across the GTA and Ontario — primarily Whitby (HQ), Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, Milton, Hamilton, Vaughan, Markham, Brampton, and Toronto. Other Ontario regions on request.
Do you handle permits and approvals?
Yes. Permit strategy is phase 4 of our 6-phase process. We prepare submission-ready drawings, manage consultant coordination, and shepherd the application through municipal review.
How long does pre-construction take?
Typically 4–8 weeks for a custom home, depending on scope and zoning complexity. We don't skip this — it's where chaos gets eliminated before construction starts.
Do you take on small renovations?
We focus on substantial projects: full custom homes, major renovations, additions, basement legalisations, multiplex conversions, garden suites, and commercial fit-outs. Smaller jobs are referred to trusted partners.
