The Fulcrum Process – Bring Your Dream to Life

Introduction

With every new project we start with a discovery session getting to know you, your vision, tastes and preferences. We listen for details that excite you and learn about your location. Next, we will provide feedback and you will learn about the dedicated services we provide and quality materials we use and recommend for your project. You will also have the opportunity to hear and meet some of our team members who will be part of your journey. We will offer up examples, photos and meet onsite at your project location (where possible). We will discuss your budget requirements, site considerations, and detail the process and payment schedule. We will conclude by developing potential timelines and confirming next steps.

The Design

Working with our architect or yours, you can establish your vision, needs and tastes ultimately bringing your project to life on paper. Ensuring that the site and your plans compliment each other will lend to landscape finishing. Permitting applications are prepared and you will view your plans and renderings.

The Contract

Once your design is approved and materials selected, we develop a final price on the complexity of the design. Once priced, you are presented with a detailed contract including the description of materials and services with general timelines.

The Drawings

After the contract is signed detailed drawings are presented. These drawings include elevations, structural plans, cross sections, framing plans, and all Building Code Certified. Blueprints are fully engineered.

Site Preparation

Once plans are approved and materials ordered, the site preparation at your location begins. Excavation, digging of the foundation, and concrete pouring is completed. Throughout construction you are invited to view each step as the project takes shape.

The Construction

From the foundation to roof trusses, walls, exterior finishes windows and doors; every aspect of your build is meticulously executed with precision. Construction timelines are dependent on the time of year as well as delivery dates for selected materials.

Finishes

For most, the fun part. Selection of interior finishes, flooring, trim, lighting, faucets, and hardware are meticulously hand selected with the assistance of our expertise and advice.

The Dream

Your dream translated onto paper becomes a vision in reality. With precision and attention to detail capturing your wishes and tastes, your dream home has come to life. The Fulcrum team presents you with your home. Although we take a step back, we are never far away with the guarantee of our work.

What People Are Saying

I would like to thank Fulcrum Custom Builders for all of their hard work and dedication in completing a basement project which included a bedroom, bathroom and family room. The planning and building process was a breeze. Trevor (Hopson) was a great help in the floor planning, the suggestions, and gathering of materials needed. His crew made up of Mike & Dave were amazing at making it all happen. They made us feel at ease and worked steadily to complete the project in a reasonable amount of time. I have recommended Fulcrum Custom Builders to others and I will continue to do so, as I believe in their knowledge, work ethic and passion for doing the best job possible.

Fulcrum Builders recently completed our residential build on a tight deadline. Trevor and his team worked diligently to produce a great result despite the time constraints. Not able to be on site every day we could count on Trevor to closely watch progress, anticipate problems, and find solutions quickly for design and build challenges. Fulcrum Builders has the experience and competence that allows clients to rest easy during their projects.

I regularly rely on Trevor and Fulcrum Custom Builders to complete renovations at my Peterborough rental properties. Progressive and success-oriented, Fulcrum makes timely decisions with the homeowners concerns and needs in mind. The crew is friendly and easy to get along with and does a good job at completing the required tasks with little oversight and minimal disruption to my business. I have recommended Fulcrum to other homeowners and landlords who have then used them for jobs over and over.

- Luke Marshall

We are absolutely thrilled with the results in our yard. Fulcrum was wonderful to work with. Trevor and his team exceeded all expectations. Efficient, respectable, discrete, and the whole team seemed to truly care about the work. We now have a striking patio, retaining wall, base for our shed and raised garden bed that neighbours have come knocking to see. We are going to be enjoying this timeless design for many years to come! Our Gratitude is immeasurable. Thank you.

- Kristen Summers

The qualities I look for in a contractor are that they are skilled, upfront and honest – Trevor possesses all of these qualities. He is always the first on my list of contractors because I can trust he will always complete the job that I need done and will do so with care and precision. I would highly recommend Trevor to anyone looking to get interior or exterior work done on their property.

- Seth Weinstein

I was referred to Trevor Hopson (Fulcrum) a few years ago to handle a roof structure issue at my cottage. That was a great referral. In the course of dealing with the roof structure Trevor identified a number of issues. That led us to wishing to perform substantial renovation work. Trevor was skilled, creative and accommodating and we are so very pleased with the result. I would be pleased to recommend Trevor and Fulcrum custom homes for any residential construction project – large or small.
