KAD+ is a multi-disciplinary bilingual design-build firm based in Ottawa. We have been delivering projects since 2009 – from individual homeowners, public and private engineering firm, designer, general contractors to federal government departments.
We don’t just design it. Our founder and internal team show up on-site and built it themselves. The same certified professional who drew the plans is the one making sure every detail is executed correctly. From architectural drawings and building permits to full construction — inside and outside, residential to government.
This is what separates KAD+ from every other firm in Ottawa. One team. One point of accountability. Zero gap between design and construction.
