Hear from developers, business owners, and homeowners who trusted us with their builds.
Sauerbruch Hutton was founded by construction veterans who were tired of the industry's culture of missed deadlines and surprise invoices. We built this company around one principle: a signed contract is a promise. Today we employ over 120 in-house tradespeople and project managers, serving developers, corporations, and private homeowners across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
End-to-end construction services for commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects across Toronto and the GTA.
Office towers, retail fit-outs, warehouses, and mixed-use developments built to Toronto Building Code with full permit management included.
Custom homes and multi-unit residential construction from foundation to finishing — engineered for longevity in Toronto's climate.
Load-bearing alterations, floor-plan reconfigurations, and full gut renovations handled by certified structural specialists.
Architecture, engineering, and construction under one contract — faster approvals, single point of accountability, lower coordination costs.
Demolition, grading, shoring, and below-grade work performed with modern equipment and strict adherence to Toronto's environmental guidelines.
Dedicated site superintendents and weekly reporting keep your project on schedule and on budget from mobilization through to occupancy permit.
Three pillars that define every Sauerbruch Hutton project from day one.
Every Sauerbruch Hutton project begins with exhaustive pre-construction planning. We use BIM modeling and clash detection to identify conflicts between structural, mechanical, and electrical systems before a single crew hits the site. This cuts expensive mid-build changes by over 60%.

Toronto's building codes and inspection requirements are among the strictest in Canada. Our compliance team tracks every applicable regulation — Ontario Building Code, Toronto Green Standard, AODA accessibility requirements — and documents conformance at every stage for a clean occupancy permit on first submission.

We publish a master construction schedule at kickoff and update it weekly. If a delay arises — weather, supply chain, anything — our project managers immediately restructure sequencing to recover lost time. Over 97% of our projects close on or ahead of the original completion date.

Straight answers to what most clients ask before signing on.
Yes. We manage the entire permitting process — drawing submissions, zoning compliance checks, coordination with Toronto Building, and all required inspections. Most clients never need to visit a permit office.
Fixed-price contracts are available on projects with completed design drawings and a finalized scope of work. For projects still in design, we offer a phased approach — fixed price for construction once drawings are finalized.
It depends on scale. A standard commercial tenant fit-out (5,000–15,000 sq ft) typically runs 10–16 weeks. A ground-up commercial build will range from 10 to 24 months. We provide a detailed schedule with milestones at the proposal stage.
We primarily build in Toronto and the GTA, including Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, and Brampton. For large-scale projects, we also take on work across Ontario.
Over 80% of our workforce is in-house — carpenters, concrete formers, steel erectors, drywall installers, and site supervisors. We use vetted specialty subcontractors only for niche trades like glazing or elevator installation, and we manage them directly.
