Commercial Construction Services in Scarborough
Every commercial project is different -- some clients need a full office fit-out, others need an industrial or warehouse upgrade. Here's how we break the work down for Scarborough businesses.
Full Office Fit-Outs
Leased or owned Scarborough office space taken from bare shell to move-in: framing, ceilings, finishes and a final walkthrough with you.
Reception & Client-Facing Areas
Scarborough lobbies and front counters built to make a strong first impression on the clients and staff who use them every day.
Retail & Storefront Buildouts
Storefront and plaza unit fit-outs across Scarborough's commercial strips, planned around landlord rules and a firm opening date.
Data/Power/AV Infrastructure
Power, data and AV for Scarborough offices and plants, planned into the drawings so trades install it once instead of retrofitting later.
Institutional & Industrial Renovations
Upgrades to Scarborough plants, warehouses and institutional buildings along Eglinton Avenue East, built to code and phased around operations.
Permits & Landlord Approvals
We file permits with Toronto Building and manage landlord sign-offs for Scarborough sites, so approvals don't hold up your start date.
Our Commercial Construction Process
We lock in milestones you can see, loop you in before decisions get made, and route permits through Toronto Building so your Scarborough project keeps moving.
Scarborough Project Scheduling, Built Around Your Operations
Scarborough's commercial corridors run on tight timelines -- tenants, landlords and operations teams all need to know what's happening and when. Every Scarborough project starts with a clearly defined schedule built around your business needs.
Our timelines outline:
-
Key project milestones
-
Critical deadlines
-
Coordination with your operations
-
Contingency planning
That keeps Scarborough projects on track and minimizes disruption to your day-to-day business.

-
Regular project updates

Dedicated points of contact
-
Fast response

-
Efficient project management tools

Built Around Your Scarborough Business
We take a personalized approach, shaping every project around your goals, schedule and the way your Scarborough business runs. Whether you're working around employees, clients or tight deadlines, we plan and execute with your operations in mind. Beyond construction, we offer service calls, electrical, HVAC and plumbing support -- so your Scarborough facility is covered long after the renovation is complete.
What a Scarborough Project Costs
Typically from $100,000
Most Scarborough commercial and institutional projects start at $100,000. We won't be the cheapest bid. You get a fixed price, a phased schedule and a 1-year workmanship warranty, so change orders and rework stay rare.
What sets your number
Your number depends on scope, the building's age and condition, who stays on site during the work, and what your landlord or Toronto Building requires. We walk the Scarborough site first, then price it in writing.
Site walk first
After the site walk you get a written, fixed-price estimate for your Scarborough project, with every line spelled out before work starts.
Built to last
We stay with the project through handover, backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum project size in Scarborough?
Scarborough commercial and institutional projects typically begin from $100,000. We're not the lowest bid, and we don't try to be. A site walk comes first, then a written, fixed-price estimate.
How long does a commercial construction project take?
Timelines vary by project size and scope, from a few weeks for a cosmetic refresh to several months for a full-scale fit-out with structural or mechanical work. We'll give you a project-specific schedule after assessing your space.
Do I need permits for commercial construction in Scarborough?
Most commercial construction involving structural changes, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work requires permits from Toronto Building. Hillcrest handles the permit process for you, including drawings and inspections, so you don't have to navigate City Hall yourself.
Can my business stay open during the renovation?
Yes, we plan our renovations around your operating hours and phase the work to keep your business running, as we did for the YMCA of Greater Toronto, who stayed open throughout their renovation. We'll build a schedule that minimizes disruption to your staff and clients.
Is Hillcrest Construction licensed and insured?
Yes, Hillcrest Construction is fully licensed and insured, including WSIB coverage, on every project we take on. Our work also comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty for your peace of mind.
