As the premier ICI and Multi-Unit Residential General Contractor in Simcoe County, we pride ourselves on adding a personal touch to every project, while also being committed to the local economy. Whenever possible, we use local trades and suppliers who offer competitive pricing and scheduling. Our clients often comment on the "old-school" feeling of doing business with Bertram Construction, which is a result of the personal attention, respect, and honesty we treat their business with before, during, and after the project.

Our Services

At Bertram Construction, we provide a full-service approach to construction and building services. From general inquiries on building methods to Design and Construction, we're here to help inform our clients of all possible options and empower them to make the most educated decision on how to move their projects forward.

*Pre-Construction & Design*

We offer customizable services during the pre-construction phase, which is one of the most critical stages in building. Our services include Feasibility Studies, Design Procurement, Estimating & Iterative Budgeting, Value Engineering & Constructability Studies.

*General Contracting*

Under this model, the design team is chosen first to complete the working drawings and specifications. Based on the drawings, General Contractors will then provide a Stipulated Sum or Fixed Sum quote to cover the total cost of Construction, including overhead, general conditions, materials, equipment, as well as the cost of labor.

*Design to Build*

This delivery model offers a single point of contact for the entire construction project. With the Design-Build option, the Contractor takes over responsibility of the Design team, and will submit a lump sum contract price to provide Construction Drawings, Permits, and to Construct the project based upon a set of agreed-upon criteria.

*Construction Management*

Construction Management allows the owner to take a significant role in the project. In this model, the owner pays a management fee to the Construction Manager to act as their representative. The fee excludes all labor, subcontractor and consultant fees, as well as material costs, which are passed on to the owner on an at-cost basis from the Construction Manager. Decisions on which subtrades are hired are made collaboratively, in an effort to get the best total value for the project and not just the lowest possible price.
