Renovations
Open up a kitchen, move a wall, update a stair or refresh the exterior. We know which parts of the frame can change and how to change them safely.
For BONE Structure Owners
BONE Structure Homeowner Support
Your BONE Structure home isn't a dead end. ConstructionX renovates, expands and repairs these homes, led by a founder with more than 10 years building them.

The Door Is Still Open
You're Not Stuck With Your Home
BONE Structure is no longer in business, and most builders won't touch a home they don't understand. Owners tell us they've called contractor after contractor and heard the same answer every time. We don't turn these homes away.
We understand these homes because our founder spent more than a decade building them. Whether you want to renovate, add on or fix a problem, there's a way forward, and we can help you find it.
Not every project is a big one. Some owners want a kitchen opened up or a deck added. Others have a leak nobody has been able to trace, or questions about the structure that no one local can answer. Whatever it is, the first step is the same: tell us about the home.
ConstructionX is not affiliated with, endorsed by or a continuation of BONE Structure.
Why ConstructionX
More Than 10 Years Inside The System
Our founder, Chad B. Briand, spent more than 10 years building BONE Structure homes, and some of the BONE Structure homes in Ontario were built by him. He knows the engineering, the steel frame, the panels and the connections, and what it took to put each one together. That knowledge comes from the job site, not a manual.
He started ConstructionX alongside BONE Structure, with plans to travel North America training builders on the system. When BONE Structure closed, that plan ended and ConstructionX carried on as a construction management company. Today we put that experience to work for the owners who still live in these homes.
That experience matters most where these homes are hardest to change: at the connections between the frame and the panels, around openings, and wherever new steel has to meet the original structure. Get those details wrong and the problems show up later as leaks, drafts or cracked finishes. Get them right and the new work performs like the rest of the house.

How We Help
Renovations, Additions And Repairs
Additions
A new wing, a larger living space, a garage or a studio, built in steel and tied properly into the existing frame. If part of the home has to come apart to make room, we know how to do that too.
Repairs And Problems
Leaks, windows, doors, failing details. We don't offer the original warranty, but a problem still needs fixing. We find the cause and fix it properly.
Advice And Project Management
Not ready to build, or too far for us to be on site? We review your photos and documents, define the scope, help you find a capable local builder and manage the work for you.
Where We Help
Helping BONE Structure Owners Across North America
Most of our work is in Ontario, but BONE Structure homes were built across Canada and the United States, and their owners need the same help. Distance shouldn't leave them without options.
Every project starts with a video call and a review of your photos and documents. For the right project, we'll travel to you. If we can't be there ourselves, we'll help you find a capable local builder and manage the project so it's done right.
Distance changes how we work, not whether we can help. A remote review comes first, and from there we decide together whether the project needs a site visit, a local builder working under our management, or our own team on site.
Our Process
How A BONE Structure Project Works
01 First Conversation
A video call or meeting about your goals, your home and what you already know about it.
02 Records And Review
Drawings, permits, supplier documents and photos, then a site visit, so we know what's there before we recommend anything.
03 Budget
A clear budget covering construction, design, engineering, permits and any travel, before you commit.
04 Design And Engineering
The work is designed around your existing steel frame, with a licensed engineer reviewing structural changes where required.
05 Build And Handover
We build or manage the build, inspect it, and walk you through every change, with the documents you'll need later.
Questions
What BONE Structure Owners Ask Us
Are you affiliated with BONE Structure?
No. ConstructionX is not affiliated with, endorsed by or a continuation of BONE Structure. We're a builder with deep, hands on experience in their homes.
Do you honour the BONE Structure warranty?
No. We can't offer or take over the original warranty. What we can do is find the problem and fix it as a ConstructionX project.
Can you help if I'm outside Ontario?
Yes. We start with a video call and a document review. For the right project we travel, and if we can't be on site, we'll help you find a local builder and manage the work.
Can you build an addition on a BONE Structure home?
Yes. Additions are one of the main reasons owners call us. We design the connection to the existing frame first, with a licensed engineer where required.
Do you sell BONE Structure parts?
No. New materials and structural parts are specified and supplied by us or our suppliers, to the project engineering and the building code (check your local building code).
