Build sequencing
Working within a build schedule
On a new construction site, tile doesn’t happen in isolation. It has to wait until plumbing and electrical rough-ins are complete and, where required, inspected, since backer board and waterproofing membrane go on after that rough-in work but before finish trades like cabinetry or trim carpentry move in. We coordinate directly with the general contractor or site lead to understand where tile fits in the overall sequence, so our work doesn’t become the delay that pushes back everyone downstream of it.
Whole-home planning
Scoping a whole-home renovation as one project
A renovation that touches multiple rooms, kitchen, two bathrooms, a mudroom floor, maybe a basement, benefits from being planned as a single coordinated tile project rather than as separate jobs quoted and scheduled independently. Material ordering is more efficient when it’s planned across the whole scope at once, and sequencing which room gets tiled first can be planned around the rest of the renovation’s timeline, whether that’s cabinet installation, painting, or final fixtures going in.
Coordinating with other trades
Plumbing
We plan around plumbing rough-in and final connections for sinks, tubs, and toilets.
Electrical
We plan around electrical work for outlets and light fixtures near tiled walls.
Drywall and backer board
Must be complete before we start; clear communication about sequencing keeps tile from holding up other trades, or from being rushed before the substrate underneath it is properly prepared.
Permit awareness
Permits on a larger renovation scope
A cosmetic, like-for-like tile job on its own generally doesn’t require a City of Ottawa building permit. But a broader renovation that moves plumbing or electrical, changes a room’s footprint, or adds or removes walls does require a permit for that scope of work, and tile installation follows once that permitted work is complete and inspected. We coordinate our part of the schedule around wherever your project’s permit process lands.

Tiles Experts provides professional tile installation for new construction and full renovations throughout Ottawa, Ontario. This work covers two related but distinct situations: builders and general contractors who need tile completed as part of a new home's build schedule, and homeowners undertaking a whole-home renovation where tile spans several rooms rather than a single bathroom or kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work directly with general contractors on new builds?
Yes. We regularly coordinate directly with a general contractor or builder's site lead, working within the overall build schedule and sequencing our tile work around the plumbing, electrical, and drywall trades that need to happen before and after tile goes in.
Can you tile a whole home renovation across multiple rooms at once?
Yes, and we scope it as one coordinated project rather than treating each room as a separate job. This lets us plan material ordering, crew scheduling, and room sequencing more efficiently across the whole renovation, and gives you one written quote covering the full scope.
How do you handle scheduling on a new construction site with multiple trades?
We build our timeline around the site's overall schedule, since tile typically has to wait for rough-ins to be complete and inspected before backer board and waterproofing can go in, and other trades like flooring or cabinetry may need to follow tile in certain rooms. We communicate directly with the site lead to fit into that sequence without becoming the bottleneck.
Does a permit apply to tile work in a new build or renovation?
Tile installation itself typically isn't the trigger for a City of Ottawa building permit, but if your renovation involves moving plumbing or electrical, changing a room's footprint, or removing or adding walls, a permit is required for that broader scope of work, and tile follows once that work is inspected and complete. We can flag where our part of the job fits into that sequence.
Can you quote a renovation before the design or material selections are finalized?
We can provide a preliminary estimate based on square footage and general scope, but a final written quote depends on confirmed material selections and room layouts, since those directly affect labor and material cost. We're happy to revisit the quote as your renovation's details firm up.
