The problem
Figuring out if a home addition is right for your family means flying blind.
Vague estimates. Premature commitments. No transparency.
In the early days, when you're just trying to work out whether adding on even makes sense for your home and your family, no one will give you the full picture. So families do one of two things: stall for years, or spend $15,000–$30,000 on drawings for a project that may never turn out to be feasible. Money you don't get back if the answer is no.
We built the Design & Feasibility Sprint to fix exactly that. Before you commit a dollar to construction, you get every piece of information you need to decide what to do next, even if that turns out not to be a home addition.
The offer
The 2027/2028 Design & Feasibility Sprint
Everything you need to decide about your build, designed and costed before you commit to construction.
Design & Feasibility Sprint
What's includedThe Design & Feasibility Sprint is a flat $7,500 + HST, credited in full toward any home-building project you go on to build with BVM. This pricing applies to home additions with a total above-grade area of 2,000 sq ft or less (including your existing above-grade square footage); larger projects are quoted individually. All designs and drawings remain the property of BVM Homes.
What the Sprint is, and what comes next
The Sprint is the minimum design and feasibility work needed to determine whether your project will truly work for your family, so you can make the most informed decision before committing. It does not cover the full design process: consultant fees (structural, HVAC, etc.), further interior design, survey, City permit and Committee of Adjustment fees are separate. Before you commit to anything, we give you the full picture of the remaining design, planning and construction costs, so you know your total investment up front.
Your $7,500 is credited toward any home-building project you go on to build with BVM. And The Constructible Design Co. is a service of BVM Homes: one team, one point of contact, not a separate company.
How it works
Four steps, from application to a price you can act on.
Apply
A 2-minute application below. We read every one personally and reach out to families who are the right fit. This isn't a form that disappears into a call centre.
Property & Budget DiscoveryFree
A free 30-minute intro, then an hour on your project's scope and needs. We work out the budget your project really needs. If we can't confirm it's buildable inside that budget, we stop there. That's our Constructible Design Guarantee.
Your Design & Feasibility Sprint
Our design team reviews your property's zoning, creates your custom preliminary plans and 3D rendering, confirms it can be built, and delivers a fixed-price budget you can trust. If you completed a Feasibility Session with us, we start from the zoning review you already have.
Decide with confidence
Move forward and your full $7,500 is credited to the build. Or walk away with a complete design and a real budget in hand.
Why families choose BVM
Six things no other GTA builder can say they offer together.
01 Accurate budgets before drawings
Using our detailed database of past home addition projects, we're one of the few Toronto home builders who can give you an accurate budget before a single drawing is made.
02 Fixed-price, always
The number you sign is the number you pay. No cost-plus, no surprises, and no "we'll figure it out later."
03 Design + build, one team
The Constructible Design Co. is BVM's in-house design service, not a separate company, so design and budget are in constant conversation from day one.
04 The honest stay-vs-move advisor
We'll tell you to move if moving is the right call, even though it costs us the project.
05 The Constructible Design Guarantee
We will not progress to design unless we can confirm your project fits your budget. We'd rather stop early than waste your money.
06 100+ home additions completed
Est. 1997, with 25+ years and 100+ home additions across the GTA. Additions are our specialty, not a sideline.
Stay or move?
Selling a $1.2M Toronto home costs you six figures before you've even moved.
Land transfer tax, agent fees, the bidding war on a bigger house 30 minutes further out, pulling the kids from their school, leaving the street you love. Most families run this math with the real numbers missing.
Your Discovery Call includes an honest Stay vs. Move breakdown for your situation. Sometimes the answer is to move. When it is, we'll say so.

Your point of contactRyan Meagher, Pre-Construction Manager
A message from the Meagher family
My father, Vince, founded BVM in 1997. In 25+ years and 100+ additions, we've watched the same thing happen to good families over and over: they can't get a straight answer, so they give up, or they get burned by someone who gave them a cheap number that wasn't real.
We built The Constructible Design Co. inside our construction company so that design, budget and buildability finally talk to each other from day one. The Design & Feasibility Sprint is how we prove it to you before you're asked to commit to anything.

Questions
The things families ask us first
What does the Sprint cost, and why isn't it free?
The Sprint is $7,500 + HST, and every dollar is credited to your build if you go ahead. We charge for it because it is real design work: preliminary plans, a 3D rendering, a zoning review of your property, and a budget built from our 100+ completed Toronto projects.
What if I go through the Sprint and decide not to build?
The $7,500 isn't refunded, but you keep a complete preliminary design, a 3D rendering, a feasibility answer and a real fixed-price budget. The plans and designs remain the property of BVM Homes. If you do move forward, every dollar is credited to your build.
I already did a Feasibility Session with you. Does the Sprint repeat that work?
No. The property feasibility and zoning review is part of every Sprint, and if you completed a Feasibility Session with us, that step is already done. Your Sprint starts from that review, and your session fee is credited toward the Sprint.
Do I need drawings or a budget figured out already?
No, that's the whole point. Most families come to us with a lot, a Pinterest board and a dream. We supply the real numbers and the feasibility answers before you spend anything on design.
We're a year or two out. Is it too early to apply?
It's the ideal time. Great additions take 4–16 months of planning before construction. Starting now for a 2027–2028 build is exactly how the smoothest projects happen.
How many families do you take on?
A deliberately small number each cycle. It's how we protect quality, communication and our fixed-price promise. That's why we review every application personally rather than booking everyone automatically.
Where do you build?
Across Toronto and the eastern GTA: Leaside, Rosedale, East York, Leslieville, The Beaches, Danforth & Pape Village, Don Mills, and the Scarborough Bluffs (Birch Cliff, Cliffcrest), plus Markham, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa.
