Why Most Development Projects Fail

It's not bad people. It's a bad system.

Month 1

"Actually, we can only fit 4 units." Your architect sounds apologetic. Nobody checked zoning setbacks with the planner. $600,000 in lost equity value. Forever.

Month 4

Your contractor's estimate arrives. 60% more than expected. "Steel's required for this design." Architect never talked to structural. Your financing is now short.

Month 7

Permit rejected. The engineer's drawings don't match the architect's. Three weeks to revise. $8,000/month in carrying costs while you wait.

Month 12

The subcontractor is three weeks late. Then the inspector finds issues. Your 8-month project is now 18 months. Your returns evaporate.

"Everyone did their job perfectly.
But success wasn't anyone's job."

What If One Design-Build Company Did All of This?

We employ the planner, architect, engineer, and builders. They sit in the same room. One design-build contract. One timeline. One accountable party.

Transparency

You see the plan before you sign. Architectural drawings, engineering specs, permit application services, construction timeline—all included in your proposal.

Fixed Price

We give you one number. That's what you pay. Material increases, labor changes—our problem, not yours.

Guaranteed Timeline

Permit to occupancy in 6 months. If we're late, we pay you $1,000/day. We've never paid.

Quality Assurance

Licensed P.Eng inspections at every phase. 2-year warranty on all work.

What Partners Say

Lloyd's team delivered exactly what they promised — on time and on budget. No surprises. That alone sets them apart from every other builder I've worked with.

Municipal Housing Director Halifax Regional Municipality

As a first-time investor, having one team handle everything from design to occupancy was the difference between moving forward and staying stuck in analysis paralysis.

First-Time Developer Truro, Nova Scotia

The fixed pricing model let me lock in my financing with confidence. My lender was impressed that every line item was guaranteed before we broke ground.
