The Smallworks Difference (and it is no small difference)
What You See is What You Build
No surprises, just results. With fixed pricing and a transparent process, you’ll always know what’s next—and what it costs.
Building More Room into Smaller Spaces
Great design isn’t about size—it’s about intention. We specialize in maximizing spaces, blending creativity with functionality to create homes that are effortless to live in.
There Is Nothing Standard About Our Standard Finishes
Timeless and tested for a beautiful home that stands up to real-life while fitting your budget.
Housing Within Housing
We invite homeowners to reimagine their properties not as fixed entities but as evolving opportunities–making existing spaces work harder and smarter for the people who call them home.
Fixed Price Construction.We make it easy to start, plan, and build with confidence.
Here’s what our clients have to say
“Smallworks is a highly ethical company with incredible people skills and a wonderful team at multiple levels.”
“Along every step of the way we felt valued and respected. We were very involved in our project, from design to completion, and during each phase of the project we felt that we were all working together as a team towards our common goal of building our dream home. ”
“For what would normally be a much more involved process, especially dealing with the city and permitting, they made building a house more simple and less stressful for the homeowner.”
“Smallworks exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond for us in countless small but important ways.”
“From the design stage through construction and even beyond, we felt like we were part of a team where every member truly cared about the end result. ”
“After surviving a house renovation nightmare we watched our neighbour have Smallworks build a laneway home that ran like clockwork-on time and on budget.”
“Smallworks constructed our beautiful laneway house almost 10 years ago. We had an issue with our boiler lately, and the owner, Jake, responded with useful advice the next day. Smallworks are the Gold Standard. Our next project is theirs.”
