Franchise Buildouts
End-to-end commercial construction for franchise operators — from permit drawings to grand opening, delivered on time and on budget.
Canada's Most Trusted Franchise Buildout Contractor
Franchise construction is fundamentally different from standard commercial construction. You have a franchisor with specific brand standards, a landlord with their own construction requirements, a lease commencement date that can't move, and a grand opening window that's already been marketed. Traditional general contractors aren't built for this environment.
Olive Tree Builds was founded specifically to serve franchise operators. Our team understands franchisor approval processes, has deep experience navigating landlord-tenant construction obligations, and designs every project schedule around your opening date — not the other way around.
From your first strategy call to the day we hand you the keys, we manage every aspect of your buildout with the precision, transparency, and operator mindset that franchise construction demands.
- Full permit drawing coordination with your architect and engineer
- Franchisor design approval management
- CPM project schedule with critical path tracking
- Daily site logs and real-time photo updates
- Subcontractor procurement and management
- Quality control inspections at every milestone
- Punch list completion and final walkthrough
- Complete documentation package at handover
- Post-completion warranty support
Our Process
Discovery & Strategy Call
We start by understanding your franchise concept, your location, your franchisor requirements, and your timeline. This 60-minute call sets the foundation for everything that follows.
Pre-Construction Planning
We coordinate permit drawings, franchisor approvals, landlord requirements, and subcontractor procurement — all before breaking ground.
CPM Schedule Build
We build a Critical Path Method schedule working backwards from your opening date, identifying every milestone, long-lead item, and risk point.
Construction Execution
Our site superintendent manages daily operations with full transparency — daily logs, real-time photos, and weekly schedule reviews delivered directly to you.
Quality Control & Punch List
We conduct multi-stage quality inspections and resolve every punch list item before we consider the project complete.
Handover & Post-Completion
We deliver a complete documentation package and provide ongoing warranty support — because our relationship doesn't end at handover.
