Why our own forms matter

Looking for a contractor for foundation work who shows up on the day? Most foundation jobs slip because the forms or the crew aren’t ready. As concrete foundation contractors with our own forming system and our own crews, we set the pour date and we keep it.

We also do the framing. The hand-off from foundation to framing doesn’t wait on a second company.

How we work

Every step, every inspection

One crew and one schedule from the drawings to the framing. Every stage is checked against the drawings, and every inspection is booked before the next pour.

A residential concrete contractor builds the structural concrete of a house: footings, foundation walls, garage and basement slabs, and underpinning. GSS does all of that across Toronto and the GTA, and frames the house too.

Toronto and the GTA: North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Newmarket, Aurora, Barrie and Orillia.

Yes. The City requires a building permit to underpin or lower a basement, and to add a below-grade entrance. We don’t dig until it is issued.

Often, yes. The City requires a professional engineer to design and review the work when the new footing goes below your neighbour’s footing, when the unsupported height is over 1.2 metres, or when the soil is clay or silt. In every case the City wants engineer reports at the start and end of the work.

Yes. We pour the footings, walls and slab, then frame the house or addition. One company, one schedule.

A structural concrete slab that spans over a room below, usually a cold cellar or basement space under the garage. It is formed, shored and reinforced to the engineer’s design, unlike a slab on grade that sits on compacted ground.

Yes. We fabricate custom rebar to the engineer’s drawings and supply the concrete, then install both with our own crews. Buying in bulk keeps material prices down, and you deal with one source for the whole foundation.

As part of a larger project, yes: a new home, an addition or a full underpinning job, on the same engineer’s design and permit. We don’t take on stand-alone walkouts.

Yes. We frame laneway houses, garden suites and second storey additions, and we can pour their footings and foundation walls too.

Our work is new construction and underpinning, not repairs. If your foundation needs to be lowered or rebuilt, that is where we come in.

Usually within 1 to 2 weeks of a signed quote. Call us and we’ll give you a real date.
