Behind our crews are the engineers who stamp the drawings, the suppliers whose products we specify, and the Ottawa professionals we coordinate with on every project.
A good renovation contractor depends on a network built up over years: a drafter who prepares clean permit drawings, an engineer who returns calls, a supplier with reliable inventory, and a mortgage broker who picks up the phone.
Over twenty years, Dream Touch has built an Ottawa network of professional partners, material suppliers and community relationships. These are the main ones.
The engineers, designers and consultants we bring in alongside our construction crews.
Three Ottawa P.Eng-licensed firms we've partnered with for over a decade. Each specializes in different scopes, such as residential additions, commercial work or foundations. We engage the right firm, manage the coordination and integrate the stamped drawings. We share firm names 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. Every submission includes Schedule 1 designer documentation.
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 handle Built Heritage Committee review, which keeps heritage projects moving through approvals.
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, which gives access to federal and provincial funding that offsets renovation costs.
Manufacturers whose products we specify most often. None of these listings are sponsored; they're the brands that show up in our work.
Our most-specified fixture brand: Memoirs, Purist, and Veil for standard residential work, and the Elevance accessibility line for barrier-free bathrooms. Its 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 offers 500-lb rated grab bars at reasonable prices. Standard Moen faucets routinely outlast warranty periods.
European-engineered Grohe for premium residential bathrooms, and Delta for mid-range and commercial work. Both brands stand behind their warranties.
Danish-engineered accessibility hardware, including grab bars, fold-down supports and toilet lifts. It is 660-lb rated and used in Scandinavian hospitals. It costs more than standard hardware, which we think is worth it for anything meant to catch a fall.
Industry-standard waterproofing for zero-threshold showers, which we use in 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. We coordinate through Lifeway because they handle warranty and maintenance on powered equipment across Ottawa.
Blanco sinks and Fleurco shower enclosures are our default specifications. Both are distributed in Canada with reliable inventory and parts, and 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. Building in our own shop gives us control over timelines, quality and design changes that an outsourced cabinet order can't match.
Local professionals, suppliers and services we've worked with regularly over twenty years in Ottawa.
For clients asking about renovation financing, we introduce Ottawa mortgage brokers we've worked with for years. They are licensed professionals who specialize in HELOCs, refinancing and Bill 23 multi-unit financing, and we take no commission for the introduction.
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, so the electricians who wired your neighbour's renovation are likely the ones on yours.
Rona Pro, Home Depot Pro, and several Ottawa-area independent lumber yards. Our long-standing commercial accounts give us specialty stock, coordinated large deliveries and preferred pricing, which we pass along to clients.
Ottawa-area waste management for construction debris removal and material recycling. Every project includes responsible disposal, with metals, wood and cardboard recycled.
