Al Kassam — Founder
05Our story

Built by hand, and by character.

Our story begins with our founder Al Kassam, who immigrated from East Africa to Canada at the age of 11. He started his career as a painter — and through hard work, great customer service and a commitment to quality, grew that into Creative Design and Construction.

The credentials, licenses and staff have grown, but Al's commitment to excellence remains the foundation of everything we offer. He holds the entire team to high standards and does not settle until every customer is satisfied.

08FAQs

Good questions.

The things people ask us most often, answered plainly.

What if I only need handyman services — can you help?
Yes. Our team includes a variety of skilled professionals. If you don't have a need for renovation or construction services, we can have our certified skilled professionals assist you with handyman services.
I have a fixer upper that needs only flooring updates. What flooring options do you offer?
We offer a variety of flooring options depending on the needs of your home. Some waterside properties need waterproofing; other properties need to match flooring to other rooms. We also offer sustainable wood flooring options. Contact us for a free estimate and ask our experts what flooring best fits your home.
Are your staff members fully licensed and insured?
Yes. Always. We do not compromise on this — all of our professionals are licensed and insured.
What areas in Canada do you serve?
Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
What's the average turnaround time for a new construction?
On average a newbuild takes about one year to complete, from “shovel in the ground” to completion. Turnaround varies based on location, floorplan and materials being used. Our project managers work closely with you to develop a reasonable timeline that aligns with your needs.
I have questions about financing my renovations — can you help?
We have spent decades in this industry and over the years built trustworthy relationships with lenders who can assist with mortgages and financing for renovation purposes. See the Financing section below for more details.
09Partner with us

Investors & financing.

We work hard to build strong, resilient communities — through picturesque homes and the people who back them.

For investors

Our team joins hands with investors to purchase old, damaged and broken properties. We rebuild these homes with the financial assistance of our investors — CD&C puts in the hard work to rebuild and redesign, and investors benefit financially when the property is ready to sell.

For homeowners

We understand our customers come from all walks of life — some are first-time homeowners, some are experienced house-flippers. That's why we also offer financing options, partnering with a team of lenders who can assist with mortgages and financing for renovation purposes.
