Liberty Village's mix of converted industrial lofts and new condo towers demands a builder who can navigate unconventional structures and dense urban logistics without losing momentum. Kopman Build's Toronto design-build model puts design and construction under one accountable team — from permit drawings to the final coat of paint.
Liberty Village has one of Toronto's most active condo renovation markets. Young professional owners in converted lofts and new towers want bold, design-led interiors — but the building constraints, condo board approvals, and freight elevator schedules mean a poorly coordinated project drags for months. Kopman Build eliminates that friction by keeping design and construction under one management structure from day one.
Working in former industrial buildings with exposed concrete, high ceilings, and non-standard floor plates requires design decisions to be made alongside the trades — not handed off in a drawing set and hoped for. Our integrated approach means a qualified designer is present through the build phase, resolving the surprises that are inevitable in loft renovations before they become expensive problems.
Dustin Kopman founded the company in 1999 after growing up in construction through his family's firm. Every Liberty Village project is managed by someone who understands what it takes to build in a dense urban building — not just someone who can draw it on paper.
Former industrial spaces reimagined as modern residences — open-concept layouts, mezzanines, and exposed structural elements designed and built as one scope.
Integrated design and construction for Liberty Village condo units, with full condo board documentation and building-compliant trade scheduling.
Design-led kitchen and bathroom renovations coordinated from concept through permit and construction with a single point of contact.

Bespoke millwork, built-ins, and high-specification interiors designed and executed by one coordinated team in Liberty Village's urban core.
We visit your unit or space, document your goals in writing, and confirm scope, budget, and condo board requirements before anything else moves.
A detailed line-item estimate with allowances and contingencies, so you know the number before committing — no surprises from design decisions made after the contract is signed.
We manage all City of Toronto permit applications and condo corporation submissions — navigating both without putting that burden on you.
Full-time site supervision, scheduled around building-approved hours, with weekly updates and open-book cost tracking throughout.
Structured handover with all documentation, warranties, and a 12-month attendance window post-completion.
Yes — and we do it regularly. Working in Liberty Village's dense condo and converted industrial buildings requires careful coordination with property management, strict adherence to building hours, freight elevator scheduling, and waste removal protocols. Our design-build model keeps all of that under one roof, so nothing falls through the cracks between the design team and the trades on site.
Original industrial lofts in Liberty Village often have unconventional layouts, exposed concrete structures, and non-standard ceiling heights that require design decisions to be made in real time during construction. When design and construction are separated, those decisions slow down or get made by the wrong person. Design-build keeps a qualified designer involved through the build phase, so the loft's character is respected and problems get solved quickly.
We manage all permit applications as part of the design-build engagement. Liberty Village projects — whether in a converted industrial building or a new condo tower — often require coordination with the City of Toronto's building division and the local condo corporation. We handle both, so you don't have to navigate two bureaucracies on your own.
We schedule trades around building-approved construction windows, coordinate elevator bookings in advance, and stage materials to minimize corridor and lobby impact. In a neighbourhood as active as Liberty Village — with residents above, below, and beside the work — that level of logistical discipline is non-negotiable. Our superintendent manages this daily, and building management always has a direct line of contact.
