Davisville Village's stock of 1920s–1950s brick homes and bungalows makes it one of midtown Toronto's most active neighbourhoods for rear additions and second-storey builds. Kopman Build has been working on homes like these — transit-accessible, tightly lotted, architecturally cohesive — since 1999.
Davisville Village homeowners adding onto their brick semis and bungalows face a specific set of constraints: older masonry foundations that need careful structural assessment, tight rear yards where every centimetre of setback counts, and a street character that makes architectural continuity matter. Kopman Build understands how these homes were built and what they need to accept a well-integrated addition.
The neighbourhood's midtown location — steps from the Yonge-Davisville subway station — also means construction logistics require real planning. Narrow streets, permit parking, and active residential blocks demand a contractor who coordinates staging and access from day one, not as an afterthought.
Davisville is also a strong bungalow-to-two-storey conversion market. Families choosing to stay in the neighbourhood rather than trade up to a larger house are making a sound financial decision — and Kopman Build has the track record on second-storey additions to make that decision work structurally and architecturally.

Home addition costs in Davisville Village are consistent with midtown Toronto ranges. A single-storey rear addition on a 1920s–1950s brick home typically runs $220,000–$420,000+ depending on size, foundation conditions, and finish level. A full second-storey addition on a Davisville bungalow runs $320,000–$600,000+. Kopman Build provides detailed pre-construction estimates before any commitment.
Yes — second-storey additions on Davisville Village bungalows are one of our most active project types in the neighbourhood. The 1920s–1950s brick bungalows on streets like Balliol, Merton, and Manor Road are well-suited to vertical additions, though each project requires a structural assessment of the existing foundation and exterior walls. Kopman Build manages the full process from engineering to occupancy permit.
Yes. All home additions in Davisville Village require a City of Toronto building permit, and depending on the scope and lot coverage, a Committee of Adjustment minor variance application may also be required. Midtown lots can be tight, so setback and lot coverage compliance is something we assess early. Kopman Build manages the entire permit and approval process on your behalf.
A rear addition in Davisville Village typically takes 6–10 months from permit approval to completion. A second-storey addition takes 8–14 months. City permitting adds 4–8 months before construction begins. Davisville's proximity to the Yonge-Davisville subway station means parking and staging logistics on narrower streets require extra coordination — something we plan for from day one.
