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.
Say Goodbye to the Sleepless Nights—Helio has Cracked the Code on Small Multi-Unit Builds.
Fixed-Price from $168/ft²—We take the overrun risk.
Most builders run cost-plus—more expenses mean more profit for them. We do the opposite. Our fixed-price contract means you'll never see surprise bills: if costs rise beyond our estimate, we absorb the difference, not you. Behind the scenes, our scheduling software and centralized cost tracking keep us on budget. But practically speaking, you only care that any extra expenses come out of our margin, never from your pocket.
"I braced for hidden fees, but Helio's fixed price never budged—even when a small extra came up!" – Sarah L.
No blame game—one team handles it all.
We integrate design, engineering, permits, and construction under one roof. That means no juggling multiple subcontractors or passing the buck if something goes sideways. Our entire process—from the first blueprint to final inspection—runs on a shared platform, so everyone sees the same schedule, the same tasks, the same budget. If there's a snag, we solve it. You get one point of contact and zero middlemen headaches.
"On my last project, each sub blamed the other. With Helio, any hiccup was fixed in-house—no finger-pointing." – Michael T.
AI-optimized scheduling—collect rent months sooner.
Time is money, especially when each delay postpones your rental income. Our in-house scheduling system (using AI-based task sequencing) ensures each stage flows into the next without idle gaps. By unifying trades and standardizing materials, we dodge the usual "waiting on a sub" downtime. The upshot? A crisp build timeline that often beats industry norms—putting tenants (and rent checks) in your property far earlier.
"They cut a full two months off my usual build—those extra rents basically covered my closing costs!" – James R.
No wasted square footage—just cost-effective designs.
Cutting useless corners cuts costs, too. Our pre-designed layouts skip the 'fancy but pointless' extras that bloat your build. Instead, every square foot is streamlined for solid rent potential—whether that's an open-plan living area or an extra bedroom that demands higher monthly returns. If you need custom tweaks, we apply the same data-driven approach without inflating your price. You stay cost-efficient from blueprint to build.
"They shaved 300 sq.ft. off my design but kept the same bed/bath count—saving me $50k right there." – Lisa T.

Each project stayed on time, on budget, and started collecting rent faster than they dreamed.
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."
“I’ve built before and was burned by endless ‘surprise’ bills. With Helio, the final price never changed—even when materials got scarce. I’d trust them again in a heartbeat.”
“Every day of delay was a lost rent check. Helio’s in-house crew kept the timeline on track, so I started collecting rent a full month earlier than I expected!”
“I used to dread the idea of multi-unit builds—too many unknowns. But Helio’s locked-in rate and transparent schedule banished every worry I had.”
“I crunched the numbers ten different ways, but they always came out on top. I’ve never had such confidence in a construction partner—and the final results speak for themselves.”
