Deficiency Management

Our premier team of managers, supervisors and coordinators understand and navigate the nuances of Tarion's new home warranty program with the most strategically constructed systems ensuring homeowner satisfaction and builder reputability with Tarion, HCRA and buyers.

Handyman Deficiency Repair

Our highly experienced handyman teams have completed towers, low-rise units and commercial projects all across southern Ontario for various builders. With decades of collective experience, our teams know exactly how to rectify any deficiency in the most timely, technically sound and cost-effective manner.

PDI / Occupancy

Our inspections team will conduct the Pre-PDI and PDIs in accordance with your occupancy schedule. We will guide the homeowner in generating only warrantable deficiency lists to save time during the repair process. At key-release we will first confirm with the builders' lawyers, then contact the buyers and notify them where and when to pick up their keys.

Deficiency Tracking Trades

We communicate directly with all trades, our own handyman team, the construction team and the builder's leadership team on a daily basis where necessary, leaving no gaps for anything to fall through. Our team understands prompt communication, systematic procedures and follow-up with all stakeholders is the key to conducting a successful warranty program.

Warranty Close-out

At the warranty close-out our team reviews all units files and deficiency lists, communicates with Tarion to ensure there are no outstanding customer concerns and proceeds to facilitate smooth turn-over to the incoming property management company and condo corporation. We then initiate the technical audit for the common elements of the development and spearhead this new phase for the builder until the completion.

Expert Builder Services for Successful Project Delivery

Choosing Astra For Your Project Means

Unmatched value, expertise, and peace of mind for your warranty program
  • Lower Operating Costs

    The market for new condo production has created longer periods between each project for all builders.  Builders can now use our third party team to get in and out only during their active projects, maneuvering away from costly in-house teams that may sit idle during the waiting periods.  

    Our average lifecycle on each site is anywhere between 12-18 months, at which point we will hand off a completed occupancy and warranty program for your project. 

    We return when your next project is nearing occupancy, where we help you seamlessly structure and complete your warranty program once more without any complications.

    Unlike internal teams, we don't get complacent.  Our teams move fast and effectively, completing all warranty items and Tarion list submissions in a fraction of the time.  This means we outperform what you've previously seen on your other projects.  Getting things done faster equates to money saved!

  • Services A-La-Carte

    We provide what you need, how you need it, for the duration required.

    We offer any one or more of our service teams to supplement your existing team, or you can comfortably let us do it all!

    What we offer:

    • Warranty + Customer Care Management
    • Coordination
    • Quality Control + Inspections
    • Service Technicians / Handymen
    • Cleaners

    The best results come when you leave the post-sale service and care to us, but we are happy to help you achieve your project-specific goals in any way necessary.

  • The Best Team for Your Project

    Our team members have led a deep portfolio of both low-rise and high-rise developments into successful project delivery over decades of work.  The collective experience at Astra's warranty team is superior to any single builder in Ontario. 

    Our Management team are experts in all Tarion standards and requirements from PDI up to the 7-year mark, including CPG and OBC guidelines that have legal binding power through the HCRA.  

    The Service team knows and applies every correct industry standard procedure for all range of repairs, with the most courteous and professional approach that homeowners trust and welcome into their homes.

    Our Coordination team tactfully deals with consolidating and tracking deficiency lists, following up with trades, purchasers and construction teams with the goal of driving completions each and every day without any delay.

    The Inspections team structures your entire Pre-PDI and PDI program around your occupancy schedule.  We strategically guide the buyers through a carefully crafted inspection that informs them of only warrantable items and focuses on the overall state of the home rather than unwarrantable superficial areas.
