Base-Building Services by Presto Constructions
Core, shell and building systems delivered so your tenants can move in sooner.
Base-building work creates the foundation every tenant depends on: structure, envelope, core washrooms, mechanical and electrical distribution, life-safety systems and common areas. Getting it right makes every future fit-out faster and cheaper.
Presto Constructions works with landlords, developers and property managers on new shells and base-building upgrades, coordinating with engineers and building operations to deliver spaces that are ready to lease.

Structure, envelope and roof for new buildings and additions.
