Durham Region
Your Durham Region contractor, from drawings to final inspection
Empire Design & Construction Limited serves Oshawa & Durham Region from our Brampton office, about 80 km east of Brampton via Highway 407. The same team handles your design, permits and construction, so nothing gets lost between trades.
Ontario allows up to three residential units on most lots, but zoning, parking and permit rules are set locally by your local municipality (Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering or Clarington). We confirm what applies to your address before you commit, and our in-house BCIN designer prepares the drawings.
