Our Home Additions Process: Step By Step
No Delays! No Surprises! No Mess! These are our promises.
At Sosna, we adhere to a strict and proven 12-step process to ensure a stress-free experience for our clients. This approach has led to hundreds of happy customers in Toronto and the GTA.
Adding a Home Addition the Sosna Way
This first step involves an initial phone call and a subsequent Discovery Meeting in your home. We’ll discuss your ideas, goals, and budget, to assess whether our services align with your needs. If we both feel we are the right fit for one another, we will proceed with the Design and Pre-Construction Process. This stage is critical to understanding your requirements and establishing a strong foundation for the project.

During the Design Stage, we balance your vision with the budget. You will be matched with an in-house designer who assists in creating the best possible design plan to meet your preferences, needs, and budget. This phase includes house inspection and selection of design layout with drawings and a comprehensive scope of work. This stage ensures that every aspect of your project is meticulously planned and designed.
Interested in learning more about the design phase? Visit our dedicated Design Steps page.
Once the design is finalized, we present you with a fixed price quotation, renovation agreement and detailed day-by-day construction schedule. The quote we offer encompasses all project specifics and will not increase throughout the home renovation process. That is our promise to you. The renovation agreement will include detailed construction plans and payment schedules. This step ensures transparency, sets expectations, and lays out the price and timeline for the home addition renovation.

The final stage encompasses the actual construction, quality control, and the final walkthrough. A dedicated Site Supervisor assigned to your project will ensure the project is completed to our high standards. Daily updates are provided to keep you informed throughout the entire renovation process. Post-construction, we conduct a thorough quality check and walk you through your new space. At this time, we also provide a 2-year warranty on labour and materials, affirming our commitment to quality and your satisfaction.Â

Home addition projects are complex and challenging and may encounter some issues or difficulties. Some of the potential challenges in home addition projects include:
- We discovered over the years that additions cost more than what most people are expecting
- Finding a reliable and reputable contractor with a team of experts who can deliver quality work and service on schedule.
- Obtaining the necessary permits and approvals from the municipality and other agencies.
- Coordinating with neighbours who could be impacted by the home addition renovation.

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) assesses the value of your property, which determines how much property taxes you pay. MPAC considers various factors when assessing your property value, such as the location, size, age, condition, and features of your property and the sales of comparable properties in your area. A home addition may increase your property value and, consequently, your property taxes. However, the increase depends on the type and extent of the home addition, as well as the tax rate of your municipality. You can contact MPAC or your local tax office to get an estimate of how much your property taxes may increase after a home addition.
