How the process works

Say Hello/Inquire.

At Forma Build, every new project begins with an initial inquiry to understand your needs and dreams. As part of this process, we will assess if a standard design works or a custom design is necessary and if the project is a good fit for our team.

2/3D Renders & Floorplans

No need to use your imagination. Our design team will provide renders of the outdoor structure & or landscapes.

Site Visit Assessment

Our team will visit your backyard and complete a full feasibility assessment. We look at every angle, and consider your municipality's by-laws to ensure your outdoor structure fits for your property. We will Review site access, identify & prioritize any site challenges or conditions. (Access to a current **property-site survey plan is an asset here & photos of the proposed work area. Please feel free to send this info in an email attachment for any of your job requests)

Contract & Proposal Sign off

We prepare a site plan, assembly program and formal proposal. We walk you through everything, step by step.

Permit Application & Right of Way

Our team of engineers & designers prepare and submit a permit application on your behalf to your local building department. This could include a building permit, permits to injure or remove city trees, right of way applications or seeking a minor zoning variance(s). Whatever the case, getting the item(s) sorted in advance can pay big dividends down the road.

Site Prep Works

Upon permit approval, we begin work on installing the foundation and utility connections. The project manager oversees the entire process. From this point, we are truly on your way to your finished Forma Build.

Efficiency in Forma Build

Taking the time to plan above will ensure that the execution of the project goes much more smoothly. Nothing slows progress or derails a project like a neighbour when required permissions or permits are not in place. Our desire is to be mindful of you & your family & the neighbourhood during our build. This includes dust mitigation practices & following the construction noise by-laws in Ontario.

Final Inspection & Ready for furnishings

At FORMA Build we look after all inspection stages in the project & it's included in the contract. Work. Play. Relax
