Construction managedend to end.
SmithPro runs residential and commercial projects across Simcoe County and the Greater Toronto Area. Scope, budget and schedule get settled before anyone breaks ground — and one person owns them until you have the keys.

Why projects go wrong
Most projects do not fail on site. They fail before the first shovel.
By the time a problem shows up in the framing, it was designed in months earlier. Three things cause most of it:
The budget was a guess
A number gets quoted off incomplete drawings. Every gap becomes a change order, and the owner finds out one invoice at a time.
Nobody owns the schedule
Each trade protects its own dates. When they collide, the delay lands on the owner — usually with no explanation and no recovery plan.
There is no single throat to choke
Designer blames builder, builder blames supplier, supplier blames the drawings. The owner ends up project-managing their own build.
We take those three off your desk. That is the whole job.
What we do
Two divisions. One accountable team.
Business Consulting & Investment
We take on businesses where our operating experience moves the numbers — and we put our own capital behind the ones we believe in.

How it runs
Five stages. You always know which one you are in.
The point of a process is not paperwork. It is that you can answer three questions at any moment: what is happening this week, what does it cost, and what is next.
01
Pre-construction
We establish what can and cannot be done inside the existing constraints — site, budget, code, timeline — so the design that follows is built on structural reality, not aspiration. You get a real number before you commit, not after.
02
Design development
Drawings get tested against actual trade pricing and actual availability. Changes at this stage cost a redline. The same change during framing costs a change order.
03
Procurement
Trades and long-lead items are locked against the schedule you signed off. Long-lead items are ordered early, so the build is never waiting on a window package.
04
Construction
Daily site control, inspections booked and passed in sequence, and one number you call. You get a written update on the same day each week — progress, spend against budget, and anything that needs a decision from you.
05
Close-out
Deficiencies walked and closed, systems commissioned, warranties and as-builts handed over as a complete package. The job is done when you say it is done, not when the last trade leaves.
What we take on
The work we are built for
01
Custom homes
Ground-up residential from site servicing through occupancy, including the permit and inspection sequence.
02
Commercial builds
New commercial construction, tenant improvements and fit-outs, coordinated around your opening date.
03
Structural renovation
Additions, reconfiguration and adaptive reuse — including work on occupied and live sites.
04
Owner's representative
You already have a builder. We sit on your side of the table and hold them to the contract.
How we work
Operator led, not desk led
SmithPro is family owned and deliberately small. That is the point: senior people on your project instead of a junior with a checklist, decisions made in hours rather than routed up a chain, and an owner who is a phone call away. Our team has been on the tools, in the trailer and across the table from the trades. We test methods on our own projects before we put a system around them.
- One named manager for the life of the project — not a rotating cast.
- A written weekly update on the same day, whether or not there is good news.
- Costs tracked against the original budget, visible to you, not reconstructed at the end.
- We tell you when something cannot be done for the money. Early, in plain language.
Straight answers
Questions owners actually ask
What areas do you work in?
Simcoe County and the Greater Toronto Area. If your site is outside that, call and ask — the answer depends on the project, not the postcode.
Do you do design, or only the build?
We bring design development inside pre-construction, working with your architect or designer — or introducing one. The point is that drawings get priced and pressure-tested before they get built.
How do you handle change orders?
In writing, priced, and approved by you before the work happens. If we find something behind a wall that changes the number, you hear it that day — not on the next invoice.
Can you act as owner’s representative on a build we already have underway?
Yes. We sit on your side of the table, review the contract, schedule and billing, and hold the builder to what was agreed.
What does it cost to talk to you?
Nothing. The first conversation is scoping — what you want to build, what it realistically costs, and whether we are the right firm for it. If we are not, we will say so.
Tell us what you are building.
A short conversation is usually enough to tell you whether the project is viable, roughly what it costs, and what the first move should be.
