TRUbuild Fine Homes & Renovations

As GCs, Rena and JT are the nicest people with the best intentions.
They are only as good though as their Site Supervisors and the trades they use. Karmand and AR are the best in the business in that regard. The wild card these days are the trades over which the GC people have some but not complete sway over. So it is important to seek completion date commitments.
And Contracts aside, it is still incumbent upon the homeowner to stay involved to ensure that their expectations are being met as things evolve throughout the buildout. The Trubuid team is accomodating of that.

JT and his TRUbuild team helped us through every step of constructing our custom home from architectural design to tile choices to landscaping.

Although we ran into some unexpected site conditions in the beginning, JT dealt them quickly and efficiently and kept us stress-free.

JT was easy to get a hold of and his experience was evident as he answered all of our questions (and we had lots!).

We were very pleased with TRUbuild and JT and his crew are now building my in-laws new house as well.

My family is very happy with our new home and we plan to stay a long time...but if we ever build again it will be with JT and TRUbuild for sure!

JT and the TruBuild team were a delight to work with and built us the most beautiful home in mid-town Toronto – from bottom to top, inside and out. They worked seamlessly with our architect and designer with egos checked at the door and they were always responsive and available 24/7. They managed everything and everyone – from trades to neighbours – with incredible tact and purpose. There was complete transparency during the process so we felt confident and trusted that the costs and estimates from trades and suppliers presented to us had been negotiated vigorously by JT in our best interest. As a result, they turned what is typically a very stressful project – building a house – into an extremely gratifying journey. We couldn’t be happier! We have and will continue to recommend JT and TruBuild.

Our tudor, relatively small home was originally built is the 1930s and in need of a whole home renovation. After consulting broadly with contractors, we would definitely recommend working with JT and TruBuild! Given the spatial challenges of our home, we needed a very experienced team and we came across TruBuild on Mike Homes website as one of his certified and Trusted Builders. It was absolutely a real pleasure meeting with JT and TruBuild. JT went above and beyond and was the utmost professional, responsive, and considerate in his approach. JT always listened to our design wishes and was straightforward and very thoughtful in how we could meet our goals for the renovation. JT also arranged for us to see 4 of his construction projects, including an absolutely stunning Custom Home. TruBuild's website is fantastic and clearly demonstrate how innovative, detailed and meticulous JT is. We would 100% recommend TruBuild Fine Homes & Renovations to anyone considering a renovation, custom home or remodelling. Thank you JT and TruBuild!

Out of all the quotes we received from contractors re basement, Ariya gave us the most detailed cost efficient quote with a very original design. Their workers came in on time, worked in a professional manner and left only when we were satisfied. The finished product has added great value to our home.

We hired JT Bhabra (Ariya Developments) to do a 2 storey addition with an excavation of our basement.

JT was great to deal with...always attentive to our needs and responded promptly to any concerns. He cares about the quality of his work and takes a lot of pride in seeing that the end result is to everyone's satisfaction. He is very trustworthy in an industry that does not have a good reputation and he went to great lengths to finish our addition within our expected timeline(was done in less than 4 months!).

We absolutely love how our house looks with the addition and would have no hesitation in either recommending him or hiring him ourselves for any projects in the future.

We bought our home built by J.T last December 2007. We noticed a fine craftsmanship all over the home since our first visit. J.T is a reliable professional. He has complied with our requests in a timely manner. J.T has a great team of workers that make him excel in his business. If we have to buy another property, we won't hesitate to ask him to be our builder.

We bought a new home that JT (Ariya) was already in the process of building. This gave us the opportunity to select our own finishes and make slight modifications to the original plan. JT was highly receptive to this and built us an exceptional home. The after sales service was handled very professionally. JT and his supervisor Dave were highly responsive and truly care about quality of their work and craftmanship.

JT is an honourable businessman. He is accessible and makes good on promises. In a business that is largely unregulated, he was able to maintain a standard that many other contractors/builders/project managers don't even aspire to. Our kitchen reno and great room were completed on time (three months to the day) and whenever the usual construction problems or issues with workers happened (and these problems and issues seem to be the norm in this business) he dealt with them in a timely and honest manner.

Ariya Developments is a quality builder. JT Bhabra, the owner of the company, was always a pleasure to deal with. He showed integrity, honesty and a solid knowledge of the kind of workmanship we were looking for. He was always accessible, and attentive to our needs or concerns. The scope of our project included a complete renovation, top to bottom, with a 2-storey addition and digging out and underpinning of basement. The results were wonderful! JT Bhabra handled this project from the architectural drawing stage to completion. He did a great job. I would have no problem recommending Ariya Developments for new home construction or home renovations.
