Noelle & Adrian

When you hire a company like Men At Work, you have very high expectations. They are at the upper echelon of Design and Build companies in the GTA and when you return home, ones expectations are very high. Some management on this front could improve to ensure that the client clearly understands what they are walking into.

Ian & Kris

We were extremely satisfied with the way the whole team supported us throughout the build. We felt that Men At Work met our expectations quite well. Our design team was amazing and worked so well with us throughout the project. They were always available for a quick consultation even for the smallest details.

Nicholas & Barbara

Total rebuild (renovation) of our house in Bloor West. Only thing we kept were the two side walls. Extended back about 12' (basement too). Paul was fantastic to deal when we were looking around at companies. We met with about 5 and Paul was the only one to visit the house and talk w/ us. We went w/ M@W and weren't disappointed. Matthew was our PM and he was great to deal with. The construction process was delayed a bit due to foundation issues but the solution implemented was exactly what we we preferred. We were always kept informed, given lots of options and always knew what was going on. Natalie assisted us in the design and she and her team were also very good. Very happy with the choices made and the options we had. Long story short - we came inside our budget, got what we wanted and are very happy.

Alexandra & Benedict

I am most satisfied with the design because it fits out taste and lifestyle. They were also professional and organized.

Alia & Hassan

Men at Work Design Build is an outstanding firm. From our initial introductory meeting to completing the renovation of our new home, the team was professional, engaged, responsive and solutions-oriented. They provided us with creative advice and were careful to adhere to our budget. The team building our house was full of expertise and pragmatic experience. Keith walked us through difficult city approvals with ease. He developed a plan that met all of our functional needs and maintained the aesthetic of the neighbourhood. Natalie selected the most beautiful finishes and fixtures for our interior, beyond what we thought possible. Bryan managed the project with expert skill and transparency. We chose Men at Work Design Build because we trusted Paul and we were satisfied by all his staff. We haven't questioned our decision once. We recommend Men at Work Design Build without hesitation.

Paul, Matt, Claire and Natalie were absolutely all amazing people. Just exceptional professionals. 100% on communication, problem resolution, the design and project management team.

Marta & Rob

With a newborn baby and 3 year old we found ourself in a typical situation many people face: move or renovate. With no time, expertise or desire to contact out and design everything on our own MAW was the answer to our problem. Our project manager, Kyle, was great to work with. He was knowledgeable and explained and answered all our questions and concerns. Renovations can be stressful and the process to a wonderful finished project takes time, effort, you experience high points and low points. Kyle was always professional and understanding. He was available at almost all times of day and night to listen to our questions and concerns. Kyle always provided answers and explanations in a timely manner and really ensured we understood the renovation and financial process. One of MAW’s focus is customer service and everyone we interacted with at MAW was great. We now have a wonderful designer house that we are so very happy to have and enjoy. We look forward to working with MAW in the future!

Ali & Selena

Looking forward to our second project with you!

First and foremost, Matt's a great PM. He was incredibly responsive, accommodating, respectful and a real pleasure to interact with! The carpenter (Sam) and the foundation guy (Octavio) were outstanding; you were able to see they really took a lot of pride in their work and were happy to explain what was going on. I think MAW's strength is certainly in quality construction. I was very happy and confident during the construction process, and felt they had more than ample expertise for construction.

From start to finish we were thoroughly impressed not only with the planning and construction, but the follow up. We've been back in our home since July and if any small issues pop up (like a faulty led strip), the Men At Work crew respond immediately and correct the problem with no additional cost or hassle. We would absolutely use Men At Work again, perhaps in our next home.

MAW were a great team to work with. We found the team to be knowledgable and integrated. They took care of us throughout the process and did a great job.

Marta & Rob

The design team is really the Dream Team bringing our desire for a classic and elegant home into reality. All the staff at MAW were a pleasure to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MAW and we will most certainly be returning clients.
