Owner’s Representative in Toronto, ON
Toronto Owner’s Representation
Myhal Construction can lead or recover a construction project anywhere in Toronto, Ontario. If your project needs an owner’s representative, call Myhal for senior, independent project leadership. We work directly with you and your team, whether you are still assembling a site, deep in design, out to tender or already under construction. Most engagements start with a single call to the number above.
We specialize in owner’s representation and construction project management in Toronto for office, residential, retail and industrial owners. We can take a project from the first budget through to handover, or step in partway when the numbers and the schedule have stopped lining up. Anything you need related to managing a construction project as the owner, we can take on.

The project managers at Myhal have run high-rise residential, AAA office revitalizations, retail in live environments and complex industrial work, all in Toronto, all on the owner’s side. We handle the consultants, the contractors, the contracts, the changes and the reporting so you can focus on the decisions that belong with the owner.
We do everything we can to keep the process straightforward for you. You get one senior point of contact, a weekly view of where the project actually stands, and a straight answer when the news isn’t good. See our construction project management page for the full scope.
Our Services in Toronto. Every service, one senior team.
Most Toronto engagements start with one question and grow from there. These are the five ways we work with owners in the city, and any of them can be the starting point.
Owner’s representation
Senior leadership of your Toronto project day to day: consultants, contractors, contracts and reporting, with your interests the only interests in the room.
Owner’s representation →Construction project management
Schedule, cost, procurement and the trades run for you through Toronto Building, Metrolinx reviews and the downtown logistics that make this city its own discipline.
Construction project management →Development management
For Toronto landowners and institutions without a development arm: due diligence, pro forma, approvals under the current DC rules, financing and delivery, from the land to the lease-up.
Development management →Construction consulting & estimating
Independent Toronto estimates and budget reviews built the way a contractor builds them, so the number you take to your board or lender holds.
Construction consulting & estimating →Preconstruction planning
Budgets, schedules and procurement strategy set before the drawings are locked, which in Toronto is the difference between a project that carries TGS v4 and DCs comfortably and one that discovers them late.
Preconstruction planning →Construction Problems in Toronto, ON. What to do if your Toronto project goes over budget
A budget slipping partway through a Toronto project is a common occurrence. No need to panic if that happens to you. Here’s what to do.
Slow down
A project that is over budget will keep going without you. The instinct is to approve whatever keeps the site moving. Slow down, and get the real numbers in front of you before you approve anything else.
Find out where you actually stand
Cost to date, committed cost, forecast to complete, contingency remaining, and the schedule those numbers assume. Most owners are handed a report; very few are handed one they can act on.
Inspect the drivers
Design gaps, scope growth, market pricing, site conditions or a contractor problem. They each have a different fix. Use extreme caution before you accept the first explanation you are given.
Bring in representation
Even if the gap is small, it is only going to grow as the months progress. Call us as soon as possible and we’ll come to your office, review the file, and give you a recovery plan you can take to your board or your lender. Visit us online or call 647-932-2902 to get started.
Most owner’s representation fees are recovered several times over in avoided changes, tighter procurement and cleaner closeout. In other words, bringing someone in rarely costs more than not doing it.
Our Toronto Owner’s Representation Process
Assess the project
You shouldn’t assume your project needs a full-time owner’s rep until we have looked at it. We review the budget, the schedule, the contracts and the team, and we tell you plainly where the risk actually sits.
Scale the engagement to the decision in front of you
The average consultancy sells the biggest engagement it can. At Myhal, we don’t want owners paying for representation they don’t need. Sometimes one estimate or one review is the whole job. Sometimes it is the whole project.
Call us and we get to work
Toronto owners don’t have time to run a construction project on top of the business that pays for it. You just want the building delivered the way it was promised. We make it easy to start by coming to your office, or your site, and getting into the file the same week.
Toronto, Ontario Construction Project Management
Toronto is the largest construction market in Canada and the one we know best. The Toronto CMA led the country in multi-unit and office permit values through 2025, the City runs a capital program above a billion dollars a year, and the transit map is being redrawn around Line 5 Eglinton (opened February 2026), the Finch West LRT (December 2025), the Ontario Line (tunnelling from April 2026) and the Scarborough Subway Extension.
That pace changes what an owner has to manage. Non-residential development charges sit at $805.64 per square metre as of June 2025, with industrial uses exempt. Site plan approvals across Ontario average roughly 23 months against a 60-day statutory clock. Toronto Green Standard Version 4 applies to every ICI and mid-to-high-rise application from June 2026. Anything within 60 metres of a Metrolinx corridor needs a Metrolinx technical review at the applicant’s cost. None of this is a reason not to build. All of it is a reason to have someone on your side who has done it here before.
Our Toronto experience was built at PCL Constructors and Oxford Properties across the TD Centre campus, CityPlace, Scarborough Junction, the Crosstown corridor and a dozen downtown office revitalizations. We know the building department, the consultants, the trades and the market rates, because we have sat across the table from all of them.
Neighbourhoods in Toronto. Each one changes what needs watching.
Financial District
The core of Toronto’s office market and the place where we have done the most work: façade and base-building revitalizations across Cadillac Fairview’s TD Centre campus, the TD North Tower, 85 and 111 Richmond Street West and RBC Centre, all delivered inside occupied, operating towers. Working here means night shifts, hoisting windows, tenant communications and a landlord who cannot afford a missed handover.
Scarborough
Scarborough is where the city’s growth is heading: the Scarborough Subway Extension, the Golden Mile redevelopment along the Crosstown and the $3 billion Scarborough Junction community at Scarborough GO, where we led all preconstruction planning for 7,655 approved homes across a dozen towers, new parkland and full environmental remediation.
Mount Dennis and Weston
The western terminus of Line 5 and the new Mount Dennis mobility hub. We led preconstruction on 1151 Weston Road, a 50-storey transit-oriented tower beside the GO station and the Crosstown, and on 3 Swift, a two-tower rental community nearby with 61 replacement affordable homes.
King West, Liberty Village and Trinity Bellwoods
Dense, mid-rise, heritage-adjacent and popular. Bellwoods House at 111 Strachan combined a 13-storey boutique condominium with a restored Second Empire heritage building on a fully remediated site. Sites here reward early soils and heritage work and punish anyone who skips it.
Downtown waterfront and CityPlace
Eight condominium towers with retail podiums across four CityPlace blocks, delivered as two back-to-back $540 million construction-management assignments. The next chapter on the waterfront is the Port Lands, where Waterfront Toronto issued its first residential RFQ in June 2026.
Yonge and Bloor, Midtown and Parkdale
15 Charles, a 48-storey residence steps from Yonge and Bloor, and 1266 Queen Street West, a 24-storey mixed-use building in Parkdale. Different neighbourhoods, same discipline: get the budget right before the drawings are locked, and keep the schedule honest after.
Projects in Toronto. Experience built at PCL Constructors and Oxford Properties.
Scarborough Junction
A $3B, 26-acre master-planned community anchored at Scarborough GO Station — 7,655 approved homes across a dozen towers up to 58 storeys, with new parkland, community amenities and full environmental remediation. Led all preconstruction planning and activities.
Concord Adex — CityPlace
Eight condominium towers with retail podiums across four blocks (24, 25, 26 and 29) in downtown Toronto’s CityPlace — two back-to-back $540M construction-management assignments.
3 Swift
A two-tower (36 and 32 storeys), 857-unit rental community near the Crosstown LRT, including 61 replacement affordable homes. Construction management and preconstruction.

Questions owners ask us about building in Toronto.
How much does an owner’s representative cost in Toronto?
Typically a modest percentage of construction value or a fixed monthly fee, scaled to the project. On a Toronto project it is usually recovered several times over in avoided changes and tighter procurement. Call 647-932-2902 and we will give you a real number for your project.
Do I need an owner’s rep if I already have a construction manager?
The construction manager builds the project. The owner’s representative makes sure it is built the way the owner needs, and reviews what the construction manager reports. On most Toronto projects over $20 million the two roles work side by side. See owner’s rep or construction manager.
Can you take over a Toronto project that is already in trouble?
Yes. Several of our engagements began with bids over budget, a schedule that had gone, or a claim on the table. We would rather be called earlier, but we take those calls.
Do you handle Toronto Building and the approvals process?
We manage the consultants who prepare the submissions, track the City’s review, and keep the approvals path tied to the budget and schedule. Concept 2 Keys, pre-application consultation, TGS v4 and Metrolinx adjacency reviews are all part of a normal Toronto file.
Which parts of Toronto do you cover?
All of it: the downtown core, Midtown, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke and the waterfront, plus the surrounding GTA. See where we work.
