The market
The Canadian general contracting market today
Housing pressure is driving demand for basement suites, garden suites and additions across Canada, especially in Ontario and BC where municipalities have eased rules on secondary units. Custom homes and commercial build-outs provide larger projects.
Vishal Bhardwaj is a marketing and lead-generation partner for general contracting businesses. We don't do general contracting work ourselves. We build and run the channels that bring enquiries straight to you, and we only work with one contractor per service area.
The problem
Why leads are inconsistent
- General contractors compete with marketplaces and handymen for the same searches, which attracts small, low-value jobs.
- Big projects come from trust and reputation, which are hard to convey online.
- Pipeline gaps between large jobs create cash-flow pressure.
Many general contracting businesses also lean on HomeStars, Yelp and Kijiji. Those leads are often shared and get more expensive every year. We move your pipeline towards enquiries that come directly to you.
High-value general contracting jobs we help you win
We build pages and campaigns for the work that pays best, not the small jobs that fill the diary.

Local context
How customers search here
Canada's long winters and short summers make seasonality central to every trade. Provincial licensing and rebates differ, Quebec campaigns may need French, and buyers search by city and neighbourhood across very different regional markets.
Licensing, trust and compliance
Contractors must follow provincial licensing (such as the RBQ in Quebec) and municipal permitting, and warranty programs such as Tarion in Ontario may apply to new homes.
Email and SMS follow-up is set up to comply with CASL consent rules, and data handling follows PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy laws.
