As we approach 2025, the construction and renovation industry is navigating rapid changes. From sustainability and technology to new regulations, these shifts are shaping how homes are built and renovated. At Imperio Construction, our team is committed to staying current on the latest industry trends and innovations, ensuring we provide the best possible service and solutions to our clients.
Whether you're planning a custom home in Oakville or a renovation in Toronto, here’s what you can expect from the industry—and how we guide you every step of the way.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Building Practices
Sustainability remains a major focus, with homeowners prioritizing energy-efficient materials and designs. At Imperio Construction, we champion eco-friendly solutions, like in our Arejay Ave project in Beamsville, where we installed cork flooring throughout the basement. Cork is a sustainable material that also offers sound-dampening benefits and a comfortable feel underfoot.
Additionally, energy-efficient systems such as high-performance windows, solar panels, and advanced insulation are becoming standard in custom homes. Imperio Construction integrates these features into projects to ensure sustainability without compromising style or functionality.
Technology Transforming Construction
Technology continues to revolutionize the construction industry, and 3D rendering is one of the most impactful tools. At Imperio Construction, we use advanced 3D rendering to help clients visualize their projects before construction begins.
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are further transforming 3D rendering, offering unprecedented speed, precision, and customization. AI-powered rendering tools enable hyper-realistic designs by analyzing factors like lighting, materials, and textures. This not only enhances the visual quality but also makes the design process faster and more flexible.
With AI, homeowners in Toronto and Oakville can quickly explore multiple design iterations and adjust layouts or finishes based on their preferences. These tools allow clients to experience their future spaces in unparalleled detail, from the way light interacts with surfaces to the placement of furnishings. By integrating AI-driven rendering into our workflow, we streamline project timelines and ensure every client’s vision is realized.

Customization and Modular Construction
Homeowners in 2025 are demanding tailored designs that reflect their unique lifestyles. Modular construction is emerging as a game-changing approach, offering efficiency and cost-effectiveness while maintaining high standards of design.
What is Modular Construction?
Modular construction is an innovative building method where structures are constructed off-site in controlled factory environments, using the same materials and adhering to the same codes as traditional construction. These structures are built in sections, or "modules," which are then transported to the final site and assembled into a complete building. (Source: Modular Building Institute)
Key Benefits of Modular Construction
Accelerated Timelines: Modular construction can reduce project schedules by 20% to 50%, allowing for faster occupancy and quicker returns on investment. (Source: McKinsey)
Cost Efficiency: Optimized modular construction delivers significant savings, depending on the project's scale and complexity.
Enhanced Quality Control: Factory-controlled environments ensure consistent quality through standardized processes and inspections. (Source: Trident Modular)
Sustainability: This method generates less waste and can be more energy-efficient, making it an environmentally friendly option. (Source: Trident Modular)
Customization in Modular Construction
Contrary to common misconceptions, modular construction offers extensive customization options. Modules can be designed to meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements, enabling personalized layouts, finishes, and features that reflect individual lifestyles and preferences.
Industry Adoption and Trends
The modular construction industry is growing rapidly, with projections estimating it could represent over $100 billion in real estate in the U.S. and Europe, delivering $20 billion in annual savings. (Source: McKinsey)
Modular construction’s ability to combine speed, quality, and customization is positioning it as a preferred method for both residential and commercial projects. As more homeowners seek efficient and sustainable solutions, modular construction is set to play an increasingly important role in the future of building design.
Urban Renovation and Space Optimization
Cities like Toronto face challenges such as limited space and aging infrastructure, making renovation projects increasingly important. One rising trend is the conversion of single-family homes into multi-unit dwellings with legal secondary suites or garden suites. These additions are excellent ways to combat rising living costs while creating flexibility for downsizing or housing family members in the future.
Legal Secondary Suites
Secondary suites, also known as basement apartments or in-law suites, are self-contained units within a primary residence. In Toronto, approximately 15.4% of ground-oriented homes feature a secondary unit, totaling an estimated 75,000 units. (Source: CMHC)
Garden Suites
Garden suites are detached, self-contained residential units located in the rear yard of a property. Toronto's Expanding Housing Options in Neighborhoods (EHON) initiative, approved in February 2022, permits the construction of garden suites on residential properties. (Source: City of Toronto)
Despite this policy, uptake has been modest so far. As of February 2024, only six garden suites had been completed in Toronto.

Projected Growth
While the exact number of garden suites projected by 2025 is unclear, the City of Toronto aims to add 285,000 net new homes by 2031 as part of its overall housing strategy. This total includes various housing types, including legal secondary suites and garden suites. (Source: Toronto Housing Data Hub)
