Why would I hire Inspiring Builders?
There are a number of different factors that go into a residential building, whether new home or a renovation or addition. The most obvious is to make sure that you are hiring a licensed, bonded and insured builder who has your best interest at heart. The level of service given by Inspiring Builders is a very important factor. We spend lots of time picking out materials, attending to every detail and taking care of all the little extras so you do not have to. And, of course, the quality of work is an important factor as well. We also use high quality sub- contractors and their standards are much higher than others. As a customer, rarely do you ever have to ask to have something re-done because of quality issues. This is well worth your piece of mind.

Does Eric Raskin of Inspiring Builders have any complaints against its license?
There are no complaints against his license and we encourage you to check on-line with the Registry of Contractors to confirm this.
How long does a typical project take for the planning stage and before you actually start building?
Before you start building, here is a timescale that is not unreasonable, however you should allow for a 10% variation:
- Allow for two weeks for preliminary inquiries at the City Planning Department.
- Complete architectural drawings will take anywhere from two to three months including any changes and re-submittals.
- Once you obtain the City Permit, you may commence building.
How close to budget can I expect to be when the project is completed?
You should allow for a 10% overrun from the time the builder starts the work. Contingencies may include occurrences such as change orders due to the Homeowner making alterations
Can you supply references?
Yes, in fact you are welcomed to visit our work in progress and completed projects as well.
Will ensure that the property remains clean during a renovation project?
We, along with our sub contractors clean the job site on a daily basis. However, there will be dust and dirt. It does not matter how careful we are, you must expect it. �
