Project Management & Home Building in Niagara

Our project management team, Onyx Building Group, is approved as a Tarion licensed home builder.

This means your project is backed by Ontario’s new home warranty program, adding an extra layer of protection and accountability throughout construction.

We don’t just design your home; we’re equipped to help bring it to life through a structured, compliant building process.

Our process is designed to give you clarity, control, and confidence at every stage.

Stage 1: Budget Planning & Feasibility - Start with Real Numbers, Not Guesswork

Before construction begins, we complete a detailed budget costing phase.

This is a paid service that allows us to:

• Gather real quotes from trusted trades
• Build a detailed, line-by-line project budget
• Identify cost-saving opportunities early
• Align your design with your actual investment level

You’re making decisions based on real numbers; not rough allowances or guesswork.

Stage 2: Full Project Management & Construction - From Permits to Occupancy

Once your project is ready to move forward, our team manages the entire process.

This includes:

• Permit coordination and approvals
• Builder and trade coordination
• Construction oversight and site visits
• Budget tracking and adjustments
• Ongoing communication throughout the build

Your project is guided from initial approvals all the way through to final occupancy.

Unlike traditional home builders who provide a single lump-sum price, our approach is fully transparent.

Every trade quote and invoice is shared directly with you. You see exactly where your money is going at each stage of construction.

Our project management fee typically ranges from 15–18% of each invoice, allowing us to coordinate trades, oversee construction, and manage your project, without hidden markups.

Because of this structure, projects are typically funded through construction financing, with payments made to trades throughout the build.

While this differs from the traditional “one-price” builder model, it gives you:

• Full visibility into every cost
• Greater control over your budget
• Confidence in how your investment is being allocated

We can connect you with out financing partner, Jude Joinville, if you are interested in financing options. However, you are welcome to use whichever option you prefer.

• Design + build alignment from one team
• Transparent, open-book pricing
• Detailed budgeting before construction begins
• Experienced with custom homes and large-scale renovations
• Local knowledge of Niagara and surrounding municipalities
• Trusted builder and trade partnerships

This model is ideal for homeowners who:

• Value transparency and want to see where their money is going
• Want control over decisions during the build
• Prefer a structured, step-by-step process
• Are comfortable being involved throughout construction

We provide project management and home building services across:

• All of Niagara
• Hamilton
• Burlington
