Frequently Asked Questions
How does a project begin?
A free discovery call covers the land, preferred home, budget and design priorities. A detailed quotation on an existing design carries a fee.
How are contracts priced?
New custom homes and major renovations under Avvio’s general contracting role use fixed-price contracts. Management and consulting fees depend on the scope, and management projects exclude its design, fixed-price, completion-date and energy-certification guarantees.
Who handles permits?
After finalising the plans and engineering, Avvio applies for and obtains permits with the client’s confirmation.
How are owners kept updated?
Owners receive regular updates and access to the Building Management Platform, including the calendar, schedule, tasks, financials and progress photos.
What warranty is offered?
The company says new homes built under its general contracting role have a Tarion-backed warranty, and renovations under that role have a RenoMark warranty. Management projects do not qualify for its Tarion warranty; any trade or supplier warranties depend on the agreements with those providers.
