Since 2010, Kat Designs & Construction has helped business owners from Ottawa to the GTA open clinics, restaurants, franchises, retail stores and warehouses with one accountable team that designs, permits and builds the space, so you can focus on getting ready for opening day.
Kat Designs & Construction Inc. began in 2010 as an Ottawa renovation company built on a simple family standard do the work properly and stand behind it.
That standard has carried us from home renovations into commercial design-build, and today business owners in Ottawa, the GTA and across Ontario trust us to plan, design and construct the spaces their businesses depend on.
We still run every project the way a family business should, with owners who answer the phone and a team that treats your budget and your opening date as if they were our own.
To be the contractor Ontario business owners call first when they are ready to open, expand or reinvent their space, because we deliver the building and the opening date we promised.
We take business owners from concept to opening day through a single design-build team, with clear pricing, a realistic schedule, permit and code expertise, and commercial-grade workmanship on every project, whether it is a franchise restaurant, a medical clinic or a custom home.
Whether you are opening your first location or your fifth, we plan, design and build spaces that meet your brand standards, pass inspection the first time and open when you need them to.
One team handles design, drawings, permits and construction under a single contract, which means fewer hand-offs, faster decisions and one point of accountability from concept to keys.
We turn leased and owned spaces into working offices and retail stores, managing tenant improvements, landlord requirements and building code so your space is ready to trade.
We build dental, physiotherapy and medical clinics with the plumbing, accessibility, infection-control finishes and treatment-room layouts that healthcare spaces require.
From kitchen ventilation to front-of-house finishes, we deliver restaurant and franchise build-outs that meet brand standards, health inspections and grand-opening deadlines.
We construct and renovate warehouse and distribution spaces with the slab, loading, racking and power planning that keeps your operation moving.
When a project does not fit a standard category, such as an indoor pickleball facility or a recreation venue, our design-build team engineers the solution from the ground up.
We bring the same commercial-grade discipline to residential projects, including custom homes, coach houses and finished basement and recreation spaces.
Opening a new location is one of the largest investments a business owner makes, and every week of delay means rent paid on a space that is not earning.
We built our process around protecting that investment, so you get the clarity of a single contract, the confidence of a fixed plan and a team that is accountable for the result.
Design, permits and construction sit with one accountable team, so you never have to referee between an architect and a builder.
We plan backwards from the day you need to open, sequencing trades, inspections and long-lead equipment to keep the launch on track.
Detailed estimates and design decisions made early in the process mean you understand the scope and budget before construction begins.
As a family-built company since 2010, our owners stay involved in every project, and our reputation depends on you recommending us to the next business owner.
From franchise restaurants to healthcare clinics and distribution space, we design and build the facilities that business owners across Eastern Ontario rely on, along with custom homes for families in the Ottawa region.
We meet you at the site, learn your business model, brand or franchise requirements and target opening date, and assess what the space needs before any money is committed.
Our team prepares the design and a detailed estimate, then manages drawings, permits and landlord approvals so the plan is locked before construction starts.
Our project managers sequence trades, inspections and long-lead equipment against your opening date, with regular progress updates so you always know where things stand.
We complete final inspections and a walkthrough with you, hand over documentation and warranties, and stay available after you open your doors.

Design-build means one company handles both the design and the construction under a single contract. For a business owner, that usually means faster decisions, fewer gaps between drawings and the build, and one team accountable for budget and schedule.
