Kopman Build is a privately-held general contractor serving Vaughan since 1999. We manage full construction projects — coordinating all sub-trades, permits, schedules, and budgets — from start to finish.
A general contractor is only as good as their trade network and their site management. In Vaughan, we bring 25 years of relationships with structural engineers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC trades, tilers, and finish carpenters — all vetted over hundreds of projects.
Kopman Build operates as a true general contractor: we hold the contract, we manage the sub-trades, and we are accountable for the outcome. There is no hand-off to a sub-tier that you've never met. The person you speak to at the start of your Vaughan project is the person managing it on site.
We work on projects from $200,000 kitchen and bathroom renovations to $2M+ full-house rebuilds. Our written contracts, milestone payment schedules, and Construction Act compliance protect Vaughan homeowners from the risks that come with informal contractor arrangements.
Complete home renovation projects managed under a single general contract with full sub-trade coordination.
Rear additions, second-storey additions, and garage conversions — full permit management included.
Beam installations, wall removals, foundation repairs, and underpinning managed by licensed tradespeople.
Major kitchen and bathroom renovations managed as full construction projects, not handyman work.
New home builds managed under a general contract with all trades coordinated on your behalf.
Small commercial, retail, and mixed-use construction projects in Vaughan and surrounding areas.
We visit your Vaughan property, review your goals, and document the project — scope, budget range, and timeline.
A detailed line-item estimate with allowances and contingencies. You know the number before committing.
We manage all permit applications, engineering consultants, and City approvals — nothing falls through the cracks.
Full-time site supervision, weekly progress updates, and open-book cost tracking throughout.
Structured handover with all documentation, trade warranties, and a 12-month attendance window post-completion.
In practice, the terms are often used interchangeably. A general contractor (GC) technically refers to the licensed firm holding the prime contract and coordinating all sub-trades. A renovation contractor may be the GC or may be a specialist working under one. Kopman Build acts as the GC on all projects — we hold the contract, manage the trades, pull the permits, and are accountable for the finished work.
Ask for their WSIB clearance certificate (confirms they have workers' compensation coverage), their Certificate of Insurance ($2M commercial general liability minimum), and their TARION registration if they build new homes. For York Region's fast-growing city projects, also confirm the contractor will pull permits in their own name — contractors who suggest pulling permits in the homeowner's name are offloading risk inappropriately.
All Kopman Build projects use written fixed-price or cost-plus contracts with defined scopes, milestone payment schedules, and holdback provisions as required under the Ontario Construction Act. Never pay more than 10% upfront to any contractor, and retain the statutory holdback (10% of each payment) until all liens expire. We walk every Vaughan client through their contract before signing.
Yes — Vaughan is an active market for Kopman Build. We have completed dozens of projects in York Region's fast-growing city and are familiar with local permit requirements and the sub-trade network. Contact us to discuss your project scope and timeline.
