HI-Performance Construction

The Commercial Contractor Hamilton Trusts

Hamilton's commercial landscape is unique. Downtown James Street buildings have different needs than Mountain strip malls or Stoney Creek industrial bays. We've worked across all these areas. Our team is familiar with Hamilton's building requirements and has completed projects in plazas throughout the city. We work directly with local tradespeople who are familiar with the area. This means your project moves faster with fewer holdups.

Knowledge of local building permits & inspections

Established network of commercial trades

Quicker Onsite Access → Less Delays

On Budget, On Time Commitment

You may be opening a new office downtown, or fitting out a franchise location on Upper James. Perhaps you need to renovate a warehouse in the industrial sector.

Retail Franchise Build Out

Aaron's Furniture had a complete transformation. The 4,000-square-foot former restaurant converted into a furniture showroom. We handled permits and created full construction drawings. The build included a sales floor, back offices, customer washrooms, loading areas, and furniture storage.

What to Expect When You Work With Us

 Consultation & Planning

Everything starts with a conversation. We visit your Hamilton property to see the space firsthand. You tell us your goals, timeline, and budget. We discuss what's realistic and explain options you might not have considered. You'll get practical advice about working within your existing building's constraints. No sales pressure, just honest guidance.

Design & Engineering

Next, we develop your construction plans. Layouts get refined until they work for your operations. We create permit‑ready drawings with all technical details. Early in this phase, we flag potential issues with building codes, accessibility requirements, or existing building systems. Solving these problems on paper is significantly cheaper than doing so during construction.

Construction & Project Management

You work with one dedicated project manager throughout the construction process. This person coordinates all trades, orders materials, and schedules inspections. They keep you informed with regular updates. When changes are needed, your project manager explains the options and their impact on cost or schedule. We maintain clean, safe worksites and respect your operating business.

I was looking for a new general contracting company to do everything at my property. I manage a Shopping Centre and need a good contractor. The company was recommended to me 2 years ago and I called them up and had them come over and do some work…. they were excellent. I need a contractor that I can call day or night and I finally found them. They do it all, painting, repairs, plumbing, construction you name it they do it! They are efficient, reliable, and extremely meticulous. I will never use another general contractor for my site, now that I have found HI-Performance Construction!

Miro and his team were great to work with. They were flexible with start date when my permit was delayed. We had good communications throughout the buildout and problems were resolved in a timely manner.

The company did an excellent job constructing our medical space. They quoted and completed the work quickly and efficiently. We liked that they handled all the permits for us. Not only were they responsive throughout the process, but they also offered much more competitive pricing compared to other contractors. We highly recommend them for any construction needs.

What is the cost of commercial construction in Hamilton?

Every project is different. The overall cost depends on various factors, including size, existing conditions, base building upgrades, design complexity, and the chosen finishes.

Hamilton construction costs typically range from $95 to $240 per square foot. Simple office renovations with basic finishes cost less. 

Your existing building affects pricing significantly. Older downtown buildings may need upgrades to electrical service, HVAC systems, or accessibility features. These requirements add cost but are often required by code.

After reviewing your drawings and site, we provide a clear, line-by-line proposal. You'll understand where every dollar is going.

Do you handle Hamilton building permits for commercial renovations?

Yes. As a full-service commercial construction management team, we prepare all permit drawings and submit them to the City of Hamilton.

Our team regularly secures commercial permits across Southern Ontario, so your Hamilton project stays compliant and on schedule. We've worked with Hamilton's building department for years and understand their review process.

Most Hamilton commercial permits take 6 to 10 weeks for approval, depending on the project's complexity and the current workload of the city. We track your application and keep you informed throughout the process.

What Hamilton areas do you provide commercial construction services to?

Including but not limited to:

  • Downtown Hamilton & James Street corridor
  • Hamilton Mountain commercial strips (Upper James, Upper Wentworth, etc.)
  • Stoney Creek & Centennial Parkway business corridor
