Toronto stopped building for people

For twenty years the city built shoeboxes for speculators. Families were priced out and neighbourhoods stopped absorbing anyone new.

Plexworks builds the counter-argument: three- and four-bedroom rental homes over 1,000 sq ft, nine-foot ceilings, windows on three sides, inside existing streets and minutes from transit. Practical housing, built on our clients' lots.

Everyquestionan ownerasks

What is missing middle housing?

Gentle density: fourplexes and sixplexes that sit between a single-family house and a mid-rise. Toronto zoned it out for fifty years; the 2023 Multiplex Bylaw zoned it back in.

These buildings read as large houses on an ordinary street, but deliver larger, more versatile homes than a condo — usually with private outdoor space. "4+1" and "6+1" mean the units in the main building plus one garden or laneway suite.

What kind of buildings does Plexworks build?+

Standardized, family-sized, built to last.

We target the gap condos and apartments ignore: three- and four-bedroom homes over 1,000 sq ft, nine-foot ceilings, windows on three sides, custom-home finish quality — the product AAA tenants actually want.

Every building is standardized in massing, envelope and interior layout, so decisions are fast and construction is repeatable. Nearly all sites sit 200–500 m from a major transit station with direct street parking.

What does Plexworks do in-house?+

Effectively everything. We run feasibility and design on your lot, zoning review, Committee of Adjustment strategy and building permits, build with our own supervision and trades, and support your financing from construction loan through CMHC takeout.

Construction is our core competency, not a subcontracted risk. Owning the whole chain is how we control cost, quality, schedule and your outcome.

How fast are permits and construction?+

For 4+1 and 6+1 projects: all permits within five months of kickoff, construction within nine months of permit — roughly 14 months from start to occupancy.

For severed lots producing 10+ units: eight months to permits, eleven to completion. Across the board we run about 30% faster than the industry standard.

Do you use CMHC financing?+

Construction debt may be conventional or CMHC, but permanent takeout is always CMHC.

MLI Select scores affordability, energy efficiency and accessibility — better score, better terms: 85–95% LTV and 40–50 year amortizations. Every Plexworks building is designed to qualify for energy-efficiency points, verified by specialist energy modelling. We run the analysis and the submission for you.

How do your construction contracts work?+

Fixed price. One guaranteed number covering materials, labour, site supervision and project management — no hidden fees, no change-order creep.

We also stand behind the schedule: the completion date is written into the contract, and you see progress against it every week.

Are your builds warrantied?+

Yes — coverage matched to Tarion standards.

1 year: workmanship and materials, including plumbing, electrical and HVAC.

2 years: building systems, water penetration and code compliance.

7 years: major structural defects.

Plexworks Construction Ltd. is a licensed builder in good standing with the HCRA.

Do I pay development charges on a multiplex?+

As of June 2025, a fourplex or sixplex plus a garden or laneway suite is fully exempt from development charges — up to roughly $315K saved on a single lot, straight to project feasibility.

Fourplexes are as-of-right across all Toronto wards; sixplexes as-of-right in the eight Toronto and East York wards (4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19) and Scarborough North (23). Worth using while the waiver lasts.

Why only new-build, never major renovation?+

Toronto's housing stock is approaching a century old. Keeping legacy foundations, wall assemblies or services buys structural uncertainty, cost overruns and durability problems that show up in the appraisal.

New construction gives optimized layouts, higher ceilings and predictable execution — typically no more than 10% above a major renovation, sometimes cheaper. Lenders, appraisers and tenants all prefer it, and it carries a full new-home warranty.

One playbook,every build.

Every Plexworks project runs the same sequence — feasibility, fixed price, permits, construction — with one team accountable from the first site visit to keys. This page is that playbook.

The delivery
framework

Same sequence, every project
01

Feasibility first

We screen your lot for zoning, unit count, servicing and tree constraints, then price the building it supports. If the numbers don't work, we say so — and you've lost nothing.

Before any spend
02

Design and fixed price

Standardized, family-sized layouts tuned to your lot, with drawings and renderings you can react to. The price is settled before permits are filed — and it doesn't move.

One number
03

Approvals and permits

Zoning review, Committee of Adjustment where needed, the building permit and the CMHC MLI Select file — prepared and carried by the same team that designed the building.

Run in-house
04

Construction and handover

Our own crews under one project manager, with weekly reporting you can read in two minutes. Occupancy, warranty registration and leasing support close it out.

Through to keys

One accountable team

Design, permits, construction and financing support under one roof. No handoffs.

A price that holds

Fixed before we break ground. No change-order line waiting to grow.

The same building, refined

Seventy buildings from one kit of parts. Repetition is why quality holds.

Nothing hidden

Risks surfaced at the site read, progress reported weekly, decisions documented.

Ready when
your lot is.
