Common Problems

Over the past 12 years, our team has witnessed the high stakes of home ownership for families, and how the true cost is often much more than a repair or renovation. 

 

In many cases, home owners and experienced building professionals overlook vital details, leading to heartbreaking outcomes for people who live in new homes. 

 

By choosing Level Up Strategies, we guarantee our solutions will serve you and your home for the long-term. 

​​​

Why do we offer our services?

Our mission is to be a guide in assisting home owners to achieve lasting successful outcomes, no matter the scope or complexity.

​​

Did you know the true costs of repairs to a new home include: 

  • Original cost of construction 

  • The initial discovery of the issue (typically with a remedial patch)

  • A comprehensive review of the issue

  • Assessment of who is responsible

  • Litigation (often occurs for large issues)

  • Consultants review

  • Contractor engagement 

  • Deconstruction costs to access the issue

  • Repair costs of the actual issue

  • Remediation costs of the resultant damage

  • Reconstruction back to original condition

  • Demobilization of the construction activity in the home

  • This timeline is typically measured in years

Gaps in understanding are at the heart of the issues we see.

 

Most home owners, home designers, home builders and stratas are unaware of the significant issues resulting from standard construction practices applied to meet building code requirements. â€‹

What we commonly see in clients' homes

Every new home we have repaired had: 

  • A licensed home builder

  • Multiple municipal inspections

  • An engineer

  • Home designer

  • An occupancy permit issued

  • Failed in a significant way

  • A disappointed home owner

Most new homes we repaired also had:

  • Multiple engineers review the plans and stamp the designs

  • An architect 

  • An energy model from an NRCan Certified Energy Advisor

  • Costs exceeding $1M in initial build 

  • Longer timelines than expected to build 

  • Higher construction costs than estimated

GUIDES FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE BUILDING

"We are really impressed with Level Up Strategies. They came in to fix two serious problems with our house over the past year. They kept the projects moving, and made sure we were informed every step of the way, from planning and developing options through to execution and cleanup. Everyone was professional, skilled and pleasant. The results are 10/10 and we could not be happier. We highly recommend the Level Up Strategies team."
