Subcontractors
Build with a Toronto integrator that runs jobs straight.
We bring on a small number of trade subcontractors each year — cabling, electrical, network, locksmith, and finishing crews. If you run a tight shop and want repeat work in the GTA, this is how we work together.
How we work with subs
Four commitments, in plain language.
Clear scope before mobilization
You'll get a drawing, a parts list, and the access plan before crews leave the shop. We don't sub out unknowns.
On-time pay
Net-30 by default for vetted crews, faster for the ones who hit dates. No 90-day games, no holdback theater.
Repeat work
We'd rather run ten jobs with the same crew than rotate through twenty. Hit the date, we call you again.
Real respect on site
Our PMs answer the phone. If something's wrong, we own it on our side and pay you for the time. Same standard we set for ourselves.
Trades we partner with
The crews we sub out to, year after year.
These are the trades we lean on most. Don't see your trade? Apply anyway and tell us where you fit — we work with specialty crews on the right jobs.
Structured cabling
Cat6 / Cat6A copper, single-mode and multimode fiber, riser and plenum runs. Clean terminations, labeled cabinets, tested results.
Electrical (ECRA/ESA)
Licensed contractors for line-voltage runs, panel work, and permitted installs. We need ECRA/ESA on file before mobilization.
Network / IT
Switching, VLANs, VPNs, firewall rules, and integration with existing IT environments. Cisco / Meraki / Ubiquiti experience welcome.
Locksmith & door hardware
Strikes, mag-locks, exit devices, hinge replacements, and door prep for access-control retrofits. ALOA or equivalent preferred.
Drywall & finishing
Patch-and-paint after camera and reader installs. Match-grade finishing in tenanted spaces, weekend and after-hours availability.
Core drilling & masonry
Concrete coring, slab penetrations, and exterior wall drilling for camera and intercom mounts. Dust-control and fire-stopping required.
Specialty trades
Working-at-heights crews, lift operators, confined-space certified, and after-hours-only contractors for sensitive sites.
What you'll need
The paperwork side, kept short.
Our PMs review documents on day one of onboarding. If something's missing, we'll tell you what and how to get it.
- Active WSIB clearance certificate (or equivalent for non-Ontario crews)
- $2M minimum commercial general liability insurance — $5M preferred for institutional sites
- ECRA/ESA license on file for any electrical work
