Construction and home additions in Hamilton

Gravity Contractors builds home additions and handles construction work in Hamilton, Burlington and surrounding areas — including framing, exterior work, sunrooms, garages and backyard structures.

Construction projects need drawings, permits and inspections at set stages. We coordinate with your designer or engineer, schedule City inspections, and keep you updated as the project moves from foundation to finish.

Construction services

  • Home additions and extensions
  • Wood framing and structural work
  • Exterior siding, cladding and envelope work
  • Sunrooms, garages and accessory structures
  • Decks, pergolas and backyard structures
  • Interior finishing of new space

What affects the cost of an addition or new build?

Construction costs depend on:

  • Size, number of storeys and foundation type.
  • Design complexity, rooflines and window count.
  • Site access and soil conditions.
  • Mechanical, plumbing and electrical requirements.
  • Finish level inside and out.

Permits and licensing for construction in Ontario

Additions, garages and most new structures need a building permit, approved drawings and inspections at key stages. Zoning rules also control size, height and setbacks.

For a brand-new home, Ontario requires the builder to be licensed by the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) and the home to be enrolled with Tarion. You can check any builder's licence in the Ontario Builder Directory.

FAQ

New Construction & Additions FAQs

Do I need a permit for a home addition in Hamilton?

Yes. Additions need a building permit, drawings that meet the Ontario Building Code, and zoning compliance. We coordinate the permit process and inspections.

Do you build decks and backyard structures?

Yes. We build decks, pergolas and other backyard structures. Some decks need a permit depending on height and size, which we confirm with the City.
