General Contracting in Toronto & the GTA

One contractor, one contract, one point of accountability for your entire build.

01Overview

General Contracting by Presto Constructions

One contractor, one contract, one point of accountability for your entire build.

As your general contractor, Presto Constructions takes responsibility for delivering the project you've designed: on budget, on schedule and to the standard specified. We hire and coordinate the trades, manage the site, schedule inspections and keep you informed at every stage, so you deal with one team instead of a dozen.

We work with owners, developers, architects and property managers on new builds, additions, interior fit-outs and renovations across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Whether it's a custom home in Vaughan or a commercial unit in Mississauga, the approach is the same: plan thoroughly, build carefully, communicate clearly.

06FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a general contractor do?
A general contractor manages the construction of a project from start to finish: hiring and coordinating trades, supervising the site, ordering materials, managing the schedule and budget, and making sure the work meets code and passes inspection.
Do you work from my architect's drawings?
Yes. We build from your architect's or designer's drawings and work closely with them during construction. If you don't have drawings yet, our design-build service can take care of design as well.
How do you price a general contracting project?
We review the drawings and specifications, visit the site, and prepare an itemized price. For projects still in design, we can provide a budget estimate first and firm up pricing as the drawings develop.
Which areas do you serve?
We work across Toronto and the GTA, including North York, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke and Scarborough, and take on projects elsewhere in Ontario.
