Ontario's extreme temperature swings (-30°C to +40°C) and up to 100 freeze-thaw cycles annually require specialized construction methods. We use climate-specific materials and advanced drainage systems that general contractors often overlook.
Yes, outdoor kitchen construction requires building permits for structural, gas, and electrical work. We handle all permit applications and ensure compliance with building standards requirements.
Foundations must extend below the frost line to prevent frost heaving damage. Shallow foundations cause structural cracks and failures within the first few winter cycles.
With proper masonry construction using climate-appropriate materials and techniques, outdoor kitchens provide excellent longevity with minimal maintenance. Poor construction typically fails within a few years.
Masonry specialists understand material properties, climate challenges, and technical requirements that affect long-term performance. We focus on structural integrity while general contractors often prioritise aesthetics over durability.
Spring through early fall provides optimal construction conditions. We recommend planning during winter months for spring construction start, ensuring adequate time for permits and material selection.
Outdoor kitchen projects often connect to other masonry features. Our complete service range ensures cohesive design and construction quality.
