Expert Construction for Long-Term Care, Old Age Homes, and Retirement Facilities
HKC Construction delivers large-scale ground-up builds, campus redevelopments, and major expansions for long-term care and retirement communities across the GTA. We ensure every project is safely executed in live environments, on schedule, and without compromise to resident care.
Proven Track Record
Our Core Pillars
UNCOMPROMISING SAFETY (COR® Certified)
Safety First is non-negotiable. As a COR™-certified builder, HKC integrates ICRA protocols, barrier containment, and negative pressure to safeguard residents, staff, and trades on every project.
REPUTATION & PROVEN RESULTS
Trusted across Brampton, Mississauga, and the GTA, our portfolio showcases measurable outcomes, including on-time turnovers, zero lost-time incidents, and facilities that operate flawlessly from day one.
STRATEGIC COST REDUCTION
Through value engineering, rigorous buyout, and lean site logistics, we protect budgets without sacrificing durability or clinical performance, maximizing long-term value for owners and operators.
DESIGN & BUILD EXCELLENCE
From architectural integrity to meticulous finishes, our Design-Build teams deliver quiet, clean, and clinically resilient spaces that enhance quality of life for residents and staff alike.
How We Build
Design-Build: Single-Source Accountability
One contract, one unified team. Our integrated approach compresses schedules, aligns design with budget from day one, and reduces risk through continuous constructability reviews and early trade engagement.
Construction Management: Transparent Partnership
We provide full cost transparency with open-book reporting. We collaborate with your team to plan phasing, isolate clinical areas, and maintain operations during construction. This approach is ideal for occupied redevelopments.
Renovations & Expansions: Transform Without Disruption
We specialize in major additions, vertical expansions, and unit reconfigurations while maintaining bed counts and minimizing noise. Our process is tailored to the sensitivities of seniors' care.
PERMIT & COMPLIANCE ASSURANCE
HKC’s dedicated approvals team provides comprehensive municipal and provincial compliance so you don’t have to. From Site Plan Approval to final occupancy, we ensure every project, whether in Mississauga or Vaughan, meets the Ontario Building Code, Fire Code, and all local by-laws. We coordinate consultants, submit packages, and track reviews to keep your milestones on time.

Our Specialized Construction Services

Complete delivery of large, multi-wing facilities with resident neighborhoods, therapy spaces, and secure courtyards, all engineered for quiet operations and infection control.
Phased Occupied Redevelopments
Our live-environment renovations use negative pressure zones, HEPA filtration, and decanting plans to minimize disruption for residents and staff in Mississauga and across the GTA.

Purpose-built dementia care layouts with controlled egress, anti-ligature fixtures, and therapeutic wandering paths that meet clinical guidelines and comfort needs.

Project Spotlight
Phased Redevelopment in an Occupied Facility
Challenge: Transform an aging facility into modern, dementia-friendly neighborhoods while maintaining full operations, minimizing disruption, and meeting aggressive funding deadlines.
The HKC Solution
Implemented a 6-phase plan with negative-pressure containment, after-hours noisy works, and dedicated swing spaces. We coordinated all ESA and AHJ inspections and used real-time dashboards for cost and schedule control.
Key Outcomes
- On-time substantial completion with zero unplanned shutdowns.
- ICRA compliance verified by third-party monitoring.
- 15% lifecycle cost savings via value-engineered envelope/HVAC.
- Improved resident and staff satisfaction scores post-occupancy.
