A Construction Team That Manages. A Management Team That Builds.
1000 Lions was built around a straightforward idea: commercial fit-outs get mismanaged when the person running the project doesn’t understand the work on the ground. We closed that gap from day one.
Our background spans the trades — framing, drywall, tile, stone, millwork, and interior finishes. That hands-on experience is what allows us to manage with real precision, not guesswork.
We work across restaurants, hospitality spaces, retail fit-outs, and commercial offices. Every project gets a single accountable point of contact who knows the drawings, knows the trades, and knows what it takes to deliver a finished space on time and on budget.
Clients aren’t hiring a project manager with a clipboard and a spreadsheet. They’re hiring someone who has been on site, read the drawings, and coordinated the trades — and knows exactly where projects go wrong before they do.
The Spaces We Build Best
Fifteen-plus years of commercial interior work across Toronto’s most demanding project types.
Restaurants & Hospitality
Restaurant builds are some of the most technically demanding commercial fit-outs — multiple trades, strict code sequencing, kitchen mechanical coordination, and hard opening dates that don’t move. We manage all of it under one roof.
- Full Kitchen Buildouts
- Front of House Finishes
- Health Code Coordination
- Tight Opening Timelines
- Bar & Service Areas
Retail Fit-Outs
Retail spaces need to be functional, durable, and finished to a standard that reflects the brand. We handle full fit-outs and targeted facelifts — storefront to interior — keeping operations in mind throughout the build.
- Full Interior Fit-Outs
- Storefront Improvements
- Display & Fixture Setup
- Flooring & Finishes
- Commercial Renovations
Commercial Offices
Office environments require careful planning around function, finishes, and phasing — especially when tenants are operational during construction. We manage the sequencing and coordination to get it right without disruption.
- Tenant Improvements
- Partition & Framing
- Ceiling & Millwork
- Phased Delivery
- Base Building Scope
