About Us
Cliff and Evans Ltd. was founded by Jonathan Cliff and David Evans, two lifelong friends who were convinced that there had to be a way to improve the consumer experience in the construction industry. With an eye for value engineering and a passion for communication, Cliff and Evans was formed to cater to the clients who needed experienced, organized construction management leaders to do more than simply build a structure. Now with hundreds of completed projects under their belts, the team has honed their expertise in both the residential and commercial construction worlds.
Cliff and Evans has experience working throughout Southern Ontario. Our expertise has been sought by clients in many parts of the Greater Toronto Area that feature Toronto’s iconic century-old housing and historic buildings, including the Annex, the Beaches, the Financial District, Forest Hill, High Park, Hoggs Hollow, King City, the Kingsway, Lawrence Park, Moore Park, Roncesvalles, Rosedale, Summerhill, Trinity Bellwoods and Yorkville. Outside of the GTA, the team has completed diverse projects in Caledon, Collingwood, Georgian Bay, the Kawarthas and Muskoka.
Over the last decade, Cliff and Evans has also been widely recognized for their many contributions to the industry. In 2019, Cliff and Evans was proud to win the prestigious Best Condominium Suite Renovation award by BILD at their 21st Annual Renovation and Custom Home Awards.
