Planning a major renovation means deciding whether your family stays home or moves out temporarily. Here is how Kitchener-Waterloo homeowners can weigh the scope of the work, their household routines, and the options for where to stay.
At Eagleview Construction, we understand that a home renovation is more than just updating finishes or reconfiguring space — it’s an opportunity to future-proof your home. As a design and build general contractor specializing in renovations, we often see clients missing a critical element in their initial planning: smart home automation.
When embarking on a renovation project, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is the type of contract you enter into with your contractor. At Eagleview Construction, we often receive questions from clients about the difference between a fixed-price contract and a cost-plus contract. It’s an important topic, and while we openly admit our bias toward the fixed-price model, we believe in offering an honest and transparent overview so you can make the best choice for your project.
The votes are in, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to share the fantastic news with you! Eagleview Construction has been once again recognized in the top three of the Waterloo Region Readers’ Choice awards.

Right out of the gate, I think it’s worth acknowledging that we, the authors of this article, are a general contractor and design and build general contracting company. While I am immensely proud of our capabilities, I’m also the first to admit that we are not always the best fit for every project or client, and that’s OK. The purpose of this article is to hopefully demystify the overall renovation process and guide readers toward the best option for their particular needs. And of, course, if that means you need a general contractor, and you're in an area we service, we’d be honoured to hear from you!
