Kopman Build brings 25+ years of owner-direct general contracting to Birchcliff Heights' solid postwar brick homes — from full-house renovations along the Birch Cliff Ave corridor to rear additions and whole-floor rebuilds on Scarborough Bluffs–area properties. One experienced GC manages every trade, permit, and schedule so you don't have to.
Birchcliff Heights is one of Scarborough's most established family neighbourhoods, built out largely between the 1940s and 1960s on well-sized lots with solid double-brick construction. That heritage is an asset — but it also means every renovation project carries hidden variables that only a seasoned general contractor will spot before they become expensive problems on site.
Kopman Build has been delivering residential general contracting in Toronto and Scarborough since 1999. Dustin Kopman, who founded the company after working through his family's construction firm, leads every client relationship personally — so the person who walks your property is the same person accountable for the result.
Three things set us apart in Birchcliff Heights specifically: our experience working through the permit and variance process for Scarborough properties, our ability to manage full-house scopes that combine structural, mechanical, and finish work under one contract, and a trade network deep enough to keep older-home renovation projects moving without delays waiting on unfamiliar subcontractors.
Complete gut-and-rebuild renovations on Birchcliff Heights' 1940s–1960s brick homes, managed end-to-end from permit to handover.

Beam replacements, load-bearing wall removals, and foundation work on older Scarborough-area homes, with engineering coordination included.
Full general contracting from pre-construction estimate through permit, construction, and structured handover — one accountable point of contact.
A vetted network of mechanical, electrical, framing, finish, and specialty trades with proven experience on Toronto's older residential housing stock.

We visit your Birchcliff Heights property, assess the existing structure, and document your goals in writing — scope, budget, and timeline.
A detailed line-item estimate with allowances and contingencies specific to your home's age and condition, so you know the full number before committing.
We manage all City of Toronto permit applications, engineering consultants, and approvals — nothing falls through the cracks.
Full-time site supervision, weekly client updates, and open-book cost tracking throughout the project.
Structured handover with all documentation, warranties, and a 12-month attendance window post-completion.
Birchcliff Heights' postwar brick homes are structurally sound, but older construction typically means knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and minimal insulation that need to be addressed in any significant renovation. A qualified general contractor will identify these items early, incorporate them into the project scope and budget, and coordinate permit requirements with the City of Toronto — preventing costly surprises mid-build.
Yes. Full-house renovations and rear or second-storey additions on established Scarborough brick homes are a core part of what we do. We handle everything from structural engineering coordination and permit applications through to final finishes — one GC, one contract, one point of accountability from start to handover.
Most structural work, additions, and significant interior alterations in Birchcliff Heights require a permit from the City of Toronto. Kopman Build manages all permit applications, liaises with the city's building department, and coordinates inspections as part of our standard general contracting scope — homeowners do not need to navigate this process on their own.
We provide a detailed line-item pre-construction estimate before any contract is signed, covering labour, materials, subcontractor scopes, allowances, and contingencies. For Birchcliff Heights projects we factor in site-specific considerations such as access along the Birch Cliff Ave corridor and the condition of the existing structure. There are no surprises buried in vague lump-sum numbers.
