Why dwelling projects are different
Dwelling projects are rarely simple renovations. They are often tied to real-life changes such as a growing family, aging parents, added living space, or the creation of a self-contained unit within an existing property. These projects frequently involve financial, regulatory, and long-term considerations.
At G.E.L Construction, we specialize in dwelling builds and renovations that require careful planning, coordination, and execution. More than construction expertise, they demand structure, foresight, and disciplined project management.

What we mean by
“dwelling” projects
Dwelling projects typically involve creating, modifying, or upgrading living units within a property. These projects often require permits, inspections, and coordination across multiple trades and professionals.
Dwelling services may include:
-
Creation or renovation of self-contained living units
-
Basement conversions into independent dwellings
-
Reconfiguration of existing living spaces
-
Multi-unit dwelling renovations
-
Projects requiring additional regulatory compliance
Because these renovations affect how people live day to day, the margin for error is small—planning and execution matter.
Worked on two properties for me. Did an excellent job. Very professional, customer friendly and delivered on time. Would hire them again and recommend them to anyone. See the attached before and after pictures.
They worked on my old basement landing in an older home, they did an excellent job, clean, professional, reliable and very efficient team. Owner even saw that my bathroom fan exhaust wasn't code so he got that installed properly and we are very happy with the results. Would hire again anytime.
Working with Jack and his team was a pleasure. They did all the drywall, flooring, trim and paint for a large addition and finished basement in our house and they did a great job. It was done quickly to a very high standard, Jack was always available for anything that came up, and was always very reasonable and professional. I really appreciated that I could trust them and it greatly reduced the stress of such a big job. It can be very difficult to find professionals who take pride in producing quality work, so I have already recommended them to family and friends and would highly recommend them to others. You will not regret working with Jack.
