WHAT WE DO

Construction.
Management.
Delivered.

Three integrated service areas, one accountable team. We don’t hand off — we own the project from concept through completion.

01

Project Management

Full-scope project management for commercial interiors and exteriors across Toronto and the GTA. We manage with site knowledge, not spreadsheets.

02

Commercial Fit-Outs

Restaurant buildouts. Retail fit-outs. Office renovations. We deliver commercial interiors from demo to turnkey finish — built right, the first time.

03

General Contracting

In-house trade capabilities mean we control quality at every stage, not delegate it. Our team has worked the trades and brings that knowledge to every build.

Serving
Toronto
& the GTA

We deliver commercial construction projects throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Our team is locally based, with established relationships across the City of Toronto building department, major landlords, and specialist trade contractors.

WHAT WE DO

Most Fit-Outs Go Wrong Before the First Nail Is Driven.

Without the right project management, fit-outs run over budget, fall behind schedule, and fail to deliver on the design intent. We fix that — with real construction knowledge, not a clipboard and a schedule template.

Uncoordinated trades cause costly delays

Poor sequencing, misaligned schedules, and no single point of accountability lead to rework, overtime, and missed deadlines. We sequence and supervise every trade on site.

Design intent gets lost on site

Without someone who can read drawings and direct construction, critical finish details and specifications get misinterpreted or skipped. We bridge the gap between the drawings and the field.

City of Toronto permits stall projects

Permit delays and misaligned landlord requirements are among the most common causes of schedule overruns. We manage the City of Toronto permit process and building management coordination from day one.

Scope creep erodes your budget

Undefined scope, missing specifications, and uncontrolled change orders quietly drain project budgets. We establish clear scope, baseline costs, and a formal change management process before the first nail is driven.

HOW WE WORK

From Walk-Through
To Opening Day

01

Site Walk-Through & Assessment

We review the space, assess scope, identify risks, and give you a clear picture of what the project actually requires — before anything is signed.

02

Planning & Permit Coordination

We develop the construction schedule, coordinate consultants, submit permits to the City of Toronto, and align with your landlord’s requirements from day one.

03

Construction & Trade Coordination

We manage every trade on site — sequencing, quality control, schedule management, and design intent protection from demo through final finishes.

04

Deficiency Review & Handover

Before handover, we walk every inch of the space against the drawings. Every deficiency is resolved. You get a finished space — not a punch list.

ABOUT 1000 LIONS

Built on Real Construction Experience.
Not Just a Clipboard.

“The best person to manage a construction project is someone who has actually built one.”

Angel Castro

1000 Lions Construction Advisory

1000 Lions manages commercial fit-outs with real, hands-on trade experience — framing, drywall, tile, millwork, and more. That field knowledge means every project is managed with precision, not guesswork, by a single accountable person who knows the drawings and the trades. We serve restaurants, retail, and offices across Toronto and the GTA — not just coordinators, but people who’ve actually built it.
