How we work

Four stages, one schedule. You see the budget at every one of them.

  1. Step 1 · 2-4 weeks

    Feasibility and budget

    A site walk, a zoning check and a budget your lender can underwrite.

  2. Step 2 · 3-5 months

    Design and permits

    Our architect and engineers draw it while estimators price it, so the design never outgrows the budget.

  3. Step 3 · per schedule

    Build

    Our own superintendent on site every day, open-book costs and a photo report every Friday.

  4. Step 4 · keys

    Handover and warranty

    Punch list done before keys, manuals in one binder, and a 2-year warranty with a direct line.

About the project

Mullan Road Medical Pavilion

A family practice outgrew two leased suites. We found the lot, priced it before they bought it, and designed a two-storey clinic around their patient flow: 24 exam rooms, imaging and a drive-up lab.

What is Haldane?

Started as a drafting room. Still draws every job.

Mara Haldane opened a two-desk design office in 1998 and hired her first superintendent two years later. Today 38 people design and build from one office on Trent Avenue, and whoever drew your building is at the walkthrough.
