How does a general contractor charge in Toronto?+
Usually a management fee of about 10–20% of the construction cost, or cost-plus (trades and materials plus a fee). Where the scope is well defined, we can also work fixed-price so you know the number up front.
What's the difference between fixed-price and cost-plus?+
Fixed-price locks a total for a defined scope — you carry less risk, we carry more. Cost-plus bills actual costs plus a fee — more transparent on a shifting scope, but the total moves. We'll recommend the right structure for your project.
Do I need my own architect if I hire you as GC?+
You can bring your own architect or we can recommend design professionals we have worked with across the GTA. As GC we build to your drawings.
What does the general contractor actually manage?+
Sourcing and contracting the trades, the schedule, the budget, City inspections, site safety, and clear weekly communication — so you have one accountable point of contact.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. Nexon Build is a licensed, insured general contractor, and every project is built to the Ontario Building Code with City inspections at each milestone.
