A renovation company isn't just the people on-site. It's the engineers who stamp the drawings, the suppliers whose products we specify, and the Ottawa professionals we coordinate with on every project.
What separates good renovation contractors from bad ones isn't the workers on-site. It's the network that contractor has spent years building. A drafter who prepares clean permit drawings. An engineer who returns calls. A supplier with reliable inventory. A mortgage broker who picks up the phone.
Over twenty years, Dream Touch has built a specific Ottawa network of professional partners, material suppliers, and community relationships. This page introduces the main ones.
The engineers, designers, and consultants whose expertise complements our construction work.
Three Ottawa P.Eng-licensed firms we've partnered with for over a decade. Different firms specialize in different scopes such as residential additions, commercial, foundations. We engage the right firm, manage coordination, integrate stamped drawings. Firm names shared during project engagement.
See structural coordination →In-house BCIN-certified designers prepare permit-ready drawings for most residential and small commercial projects. For larger or specialized projects, we coordinate with Ottawa-area OAA-licensed architects. Schedule 1 designer documentation on every submission.
See architectural plans →For projects in Ottawa's heritage conservation districts (The Glebe, Centretown, Sandy Hill, Westboro, ByWard Market), we coordinate with heritage consultants who navigate Built Heritage Committee review. Keeps heritage projects moving through approvals instead of stuck in committee.
For whole-home renovations, additions, and accessibility projects seeking Canada Greener Homes Loan funding or energy certifications, we coordinate with Ottawa energy consultants and EnerGuide auditors. Unlocks federal and provincial funding that offsets renovation costs.
Manufacturers whose products we specify most often. Not sponsored endorsements, just partnerships that show up in our actual work.
Our most-specified fixture brand. Memoirs, Purist, and Veil for standard residential work. The Elevance accessibility line for barrier-free bathrooms; their integrated grab-bar systems are the cleanest we've worked with.
Mid-range fixtures that hold up well in Ottawa homes. The Home Care accessibility line provides 500-lb rated grab bars at reasonable prices. Standard Moen faucets routinely outlast warranty periods.
European-engineered Grohe for premium residential bathrooms. Delta for dependable mid-range and commercial applications. Both brands stand behind their warranties, which matters more than marketing copy.
Danish-engineered accessibility hardware including grab bars, fold-down supports, toilet lifts. 660-lb rated, used in Scandinavian hospitals. More expensive than standard hardware, but worth the difference between catching a fall and causing one.
Industry-standard zero-threshold shower waterproofing. Essential for barrier-free bathrooms and premium residential ensuites. We install strictly to Schluter's published specifications.
Ottawa-based installer for stair lifts, platform lifts, and home elevators. Local service matters for powered equipment. Lifeway handles warranty and maintenance across Ottawa, which is why we coordinate through them.
Blanco sinks and Fleurco shower enclosures are our default specifications. Both Canadian-distributed, both with reliable inventory and parts, both hold up well in Ottawa conditions.
Kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities, built-in millwork, and custom pieces built in our Nepean shop. Claude runs the shop and has been with Dream Touch since 2008. Shop-built work lets us control timelines, quality, and design adjustments that outsourced cabinet orders can't match.
Twenty years in Ottawa means local professionals, suppliers, and services our clients benefit from. Ottawa people we work with regularly, not corporate partnerships.
For clients asking about renovation financing, we introduce Ottawa mortgage brokers we've worked with for years. Specialists in HELOCs, refinancing, and Bill 23 multi-unit financing. No commissions, just a network of licensed professionals we trust.
See financing options →Licensed Ottawa electricians, plumbers, HVAC contractors, and specialty trades we've worked with for years. Many have been on Dream Touch projects since 2010 or earlier. Continuity matters: the same electricians who wired your neighbour's renovation are on your project.
Rona Pro, Home Depot Pro, and several Ottawa-area independent lumber yards. Long-standing commercial accounts let us access specialty stock, coordinate large deliveries, and maintain preferred pricing we pass along to clients.
Ottawa-area waste management for construction debris removal and material recycling. Responsible disposal, including recycling of metals, wood, and cardboard, is part of every project. Not glamorous, but it matters.
