New Home Construction in Ottawa
IK Home Improvement is expanding its services to include new home construction in Ottawa and surrounding communities.
Our goal is to provide coordinated residential construction for clients planning a detached home designed around their property, lifestyle and long-term needs.
New Homes Designed Around Your Needs
A new home provides the opportunity to make important decisions from the beginning, including the layout, number of rooms, accessibility, storage, energy performance, materials and level of finish.
Depending on the project, IK’s home construction services may include:
- preliminary project and property review
- coordination with architects, engineers and designers
- drawings and permit documentation
- excavation and foundation work
- framing, roofing and exterior construction
- electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation systems
- insulation and building-envelope work
- kitchens, bathrooms and interior finishes
- municipal inspections and final completion.
Budgeting for a New Home
The cost of building a new home depends on the size and design of the house, site conditions, municipal servicing, structural and engineering requirements, material selections and level of finish. In addition to construction costs, clients should plan expenses such as architectural and engineering services, permits, development charges, utility connections, landscaping, applicable taxes and an appropriate contingency.
Working With Your Professional Team
Architectural, engineering and design services may be arranged through IK Home Improvement or provided by professionals selected by the client. We collaborate with client-appointed architects, engineers, interior designers and other specialists to coordinate drawings, technical requirements and construction decisions.
The responsibilities of IK, the client and each professional will be clearly defined before construction begins.
Responsible Residential Construction
New homes are planned in accordance with the Ontario Building Code, applicable municipal requirements, approved drawings and project-specific engineering and design documentation.
Energy efficiency, insulation, air sealing, ventilation, durable materials and long-term building performance can be considered during design and specification development.

Recomend this company without any hesitation!
IK Home Improvements had been recommended by a colleague.
Based on several visits to discuss various repair options and the scope of the repairs, IK was chosen based on value and overall impression
Igor from IK was exceptionally pleasant and patient to deal with
The workmen arrived on schedule and finished on schedule.
The workmanship was excellent
Great care was taken to prevent damage to adjacent decks, flowers and shrubs
We received excellent service from a first-class company
When shopping around for quotes, interacting with contractors felt like pulling teeth. Half the companies I reached out to never responded, of those that did respond, some ghosted after the first interaction, of those that continued, some needed following up with to actually schedule a consultation, of those I consulted with, half were late or asked for a ridiculous number of reschedules, some required following up with to get a quote, and some just ghosted me after the follow ups. BY COMPARISON I think I heard back from Igor within a few hours of my initial inquiry, after a quick exchange to confirm availability, HE SENT A CALENDAR INVITE (literally no one else used this most basic of modern technology), and showed up 1 minute early/perfectly on time. After the consult I think I had a quote within 24 hours? To be honest, Igor had more or less won me over just based on this initial experience. If other companies were so difficult to communicate with when they could get money out of me, how could I trust them to communicate throughout the job?
This pattern held true throughout the work, Igor (and Alex) were both extremely communicative, our messages to each other throughout the job were typically answered in hours not days. The software they use for planning and tracking jobs was great! It was super easy to keep on top of any open discussions or task statuses, what was upcoming, etc. THE JOB FINISHED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. How often do you hear that?
We've been very happy with the quality of the work. The experience of working with Igor & IK was a joy. We'll be 100% using them for upcoming work.
