Imagine this: You pour your life savings into a new fourplex project – only to watch costs skyrocket halfway through. The contractor calls with a nervous laugh: "We hit rock, need an extra $50,000." The project drags months behind schedule; your stress and carrying costs mount. Your phone rings at 10pm – a city inspector found a design error, everything's on hold...
Your budget contingency is gone – now you're dipping into personal funds. Your dream investment turns into a financial black hole...
This doesn't have to be your story.
I thought I'd accounted for everything... then one 'surprise' cost after another. Now I'm $78,000 beyond my plan with no end in sight.
What was supposed to be a 6-month project is now in month 14. Each delay drained my confidence and potential rent. My carrying costs have doubled.
Engineer blamed the contractor, who blamed the architect... I was trapped in the middle losing $3,200 every week of delays while they argued.
You've witnessed how a dream build can twist into a living nightmare… But here's the good news: That nightmare never has to be yours.

Lloyd planned a short-term rental in Halifax but nearly abandoned the idea after a typical builder quoted sky-high costs. With our locked-in pricing at $184 per square foot, he immediately saved compared to standard rates. Construction wrapped exactly on schedule—10 months from start to finish. By month one, his property was fully booked, netting Lloyd $8,700 per month in stable rental income as one of the best performing Airbnbs in the area.
"I was braced for cost overruns and endless delays, but Helio kept every promise. In less than a month, my short-term rental was fully booked—without a single financial nightmare."
We built this 3,200 sq.ft. side-by-side duplex to showcase our locked-cost approach in action. At just $168/sq.ft.—with zero cost overruns—we transformed raw land near Truro into two premium townhomes. The result? An official appraisal valued the property at $830K, creating immediate equity.
As a first-time developer, Michael feared surprise fees and unpredictable timelines. With our $173 per square foot locked-in cost, he secured financing confidently—and we finished construction in just nine months. By actively pre-marketing the building, all four units were booked before completion, netting him $9,600 in monthly rental revenue. Michael avoided the "rookie nightmares" that often plague new developers.
"Having a guaranteed price was everything for my first project. Helio took me from day-one design through lease-up, all without the hidden costs I dreaded. I couldn't have asked for a smoother introduction to development."
