Vanguard Build is a licensed, insured and WSIB-covered design-build general contractor based in Scarborough. We take on renovations, basement finishing and additions in Markham, and manage the permits with the City of Markham.
Markham shares a border with Scarborough, where our office is. Our service pages describe each type of project in detail. The process is the same in Markham: a feasibility call, a site assessment, design and permits, construction, then a final walkthrough. What changes is the municipality that issues the permit.
Communities in Markham include Unionville, Markham Village and Cornell.
In Markham, building permits are issued by the City of Markham, not the City of Toronto. We confirm at the site assessment whether your project needs one, prepare the drawings and any engineering, and manage the application with the City of Markham from submission to close-out.

Yes. We are based in Scarborough and work across the GTA, including Markham. Markham shares a border with Scarborough, where our office is. Book a free feasibility call and we will tell you honestly what your project involves.
In Markham, building permits are issued by the City of Markham, not the City of Toronto. The kinds of work that usually need one are the same across Ontario: structural changes, new or moved plumbing, additions and secondary suites. We confirm what applies at the site assessment and manage the application.
A legal secondary suite has to meet Ontario Building Code requirements, and the zoning rules of the City of Markham apply as well. We check both during the feasibility call and handle the drawings and permit application if the project qualifies.
