“One of the reasons companies are moving is they're looking for modern buildings elsewhere, with greater height underneath the joists. If we can persuade a company to raise the roof to allow for more warehouseing space, so they don't need to relocate outside Toronto, then we've saved jobs and taxes.” - Ronald Rea, Toronto Economic Development

Adding clear height and cubic space to existing commercial buildings

Advantages and Benefits of roof lifting:

Maximize cubic space. Convert buildings with insufficient ceiling heights into modern high-output facilities.
Remain at your current facility. No need for relocation. An ideal solution where the economics and logistics of relocating your operations are not feasible.
Faster when compared to other reconstruction methods that add cubic space.
Eliminate the need for additional real estate. Maintain the existing footprint of your building while increasing its capacity.
Reduce development and construction costs. Minimize regulations, zoning restrictions, and taxes associated with new construction.
Minimize disruption of your business. Downtime is significantly less as the roof can be lifted complete or in sections without completely vacating.
Utilize the existing roof structure. There is no major demolition. The cost and environmental impact by keeping the existing roof structure, framework and services is minimal.
Create opportunities for adaptive reuse. Add a mezzanine or second floor, or convert warehouses into office or retail facilities.
Improve marketability of existing industrial buildings. Aqcuire new tenants by upgrading and marketing your building with a higher clear height.
