Ivic Construction Ltd.

We had what was a crawl space in our basement dug out for a 20x20 rec room, and storage rooms added to the existing basement. We were thrilled with the work that was done, and very happy with Ivic Construction. Dragan and his team were wonderful, we loved all the subcontractors, the work was done on time and on budget. Very clean, little disruption to our lives, professional, friendly. Happy to have this group in our home for 3 months. We give this group the highest recommendation and would not hesitate to use them again.

We have used Ivic a few times over the last few years, most recently for basement digout/underpining/reno work.

They were not the first contractors we’ve used in our life, which probably explains why we feel we can truly appreciate just how good they are.

For one, the quality of their work is irreproachable. They were very few times when slight post-construction glitches arose, and when those occurred, Ivic was very prompt in fixing those, at no extra cost to us. They really do believe, an act upon, keeping the customer happy.

As pointed out by other reviewers, Ivic meets budgeted estimates, both for costs and timeline. They’ve done it consistently each time we’ve used them. And their costs are reasonable and have, in our experience, been in line with other quoted estimates.

Moreover, they excel at Communication. This is perhaps the strength that is least valued of a contractor, until you deal with one that is poor at it. From the get go, when the on-site visit takes place, Ivic is very good at proactively identifying potential issues that may arise and that clients don’t necessarily think about. The work scope, and associated pricing, is well detailed. Perhaps even more importantly, communications during the work phase has always been very good. Any issues that come up are communicated quickly, along with proposed ways to handle them. We also found that Ivic knew their way well with City inspectors and other relevant bureaucrats that need to be involved, which you can only really value when you go through a bad experience with one of those.

Finally, the crew is very professional and courteous. We’ve found that the same guys have worked on our projects over time, which speaks well of their relationship with their employer and of the quality of work and service you can expect to get. No seasonal non-English-speaking cheap-labor coming on a 3month work permit, who doesn’t really care about the quality of their work. We felt every single Ivic employee was quite proud of their work, which counts a lot for us as well.

We have recommended Ivic to a number of friends and colleagues, and are very happy to do this at large through this posting.

After dealing with different contractors for over a decade and headache with unprofessional / unlicensed subcontractors my home renovations always ended up very costly and job was not done the way I expected to be. Recently I bought a new place and had to completely renovate bathroom, kitchen and floor. I got recommendation for Ivic Construction and what a difference from day one !!! I was pleasantly surprised with how scope of the work was defined. Timing of the project was perfect and his team always did everything possible to adjust their schedule to ours. They definitely set the merit for the quality and I was really impressed. On the end I even ended up paying 6% less what was originally estimated by using suppliers that Dragan recommended. Thanks again for excellent work and getting it done on time and within a budget.
