Infrastructure &
Site Servicing in Ontario

Terrahills delivers civil infrastructure and site servicing across Ontario (the sewer, watermain, stormwater, road, utility and access works that turn raw land into a buildable site) for developers, municipalities and private clients, as a standalone scope or as Phase 1 of a building we then construct.

Every building we deliver starts with the ground. On a greenfield industrial park, a subdivision or an institutional campus, servicing is on the critical path before any structure can be occupied: the municipal connections, the stormwater pond or underground storage the conservation authority requires, the internal roads to the standard the municipality will assume, and the hydro, gas and telecom trenching that the utilities schedule on their own timelines. On the Ramara Industrial Park we installed the full servicing network in Phase 1 so that building construction could run in parallel across units rather than one after another.

The same crews and engineering deliver infrastructure as a standalone scope: lot clearing and grading, sewer and watermain extensions, stormwater management facilities, dewatering, maintenance holes, culverts, transformer pads and concrete works, road and parking lot subgrade and paving. For remote or difficult-access sites we install portable bridges and pathways so work can proceed where a permanent structure is not warranted.

Approvals are part of the scope. Site plan and subdivision agreements, conservation authority permits, Ministry of Environment approvals for private systems, and utility coordination are managed alongside the civil works, and the estimate covers the whole package, including the stormwater and servicing extensions that a building quotation leaves out.

From portable bridges and culverts to utilities infrastructure, road construction and parking lot paving, we deliver civil infrastructure that prioritizes safety, efficiency and long-term sustainability for municipalities, developers and private clients across Ontario.

How we deliver infrastructure

Six stages, one contract

The same delivery model as every Terrahills project (land, approvals, servicing, structure, envelope, handover) applied to what a infrastructure building actually requires.

01
Servicing feasibility

Distance to municipal connections, capacity at the connection, soils and groundwater, and the stormwater facility the conservation authority will require, priced before land is bought.

02
Approvals

Site plan or subdivision agreement, conservation authority permits, Ministry of Environment approvals for private systems, and utility coordination. Each on its own timeline, run together.

03
Clearing, grading & dewatering

Lot clearing, topsoil stripped and stockpiled, finished grades to the engineered design on GPS-guided equipment, and dewatering where the water table demands it.

04
Water, sanitary & storm

Sewer and watermain connections, maintenance holes, culverts and stormwater management built to the standard the municipality will assume.

05
Roads, utilities & paving

Internal roads and parking to municipal standard, hydro, gas and telecom trenching, transformer pads and concrete works, subgrade and paving.

06
Assumption & handover

Inspections and documentation for municipal assumption, and a site handed over construction-ready, as a standalone scope or as Phase 1 of a building we then construct.

The full service list

Proof of delivery

Delivered Infrastructure

Lot clearing and grading across multiple Ontario parcels, and the full Phase 1 servicing network for the 100,000 sq ft Ramara Industrial Park (water, sanitary, storm, hydro and internal roads) installed to enable parallel building construction.

What it costs

Infrastructure cost bands, Ontario 2026

Servicing cost is set by distance to municipal connections, capacity at the connection, soil and groundwater, and the stormwater facility the conservation authority requires, not by building area. It is the line most often missing from a building quotation and most often responsible for a budget overrun. We price it as part of the whole-project Class C estimate.

FAQ

Questions clients ask about infrastructure & site servicing

Sewer and watermain connections from the municipal main to the building, stormwater management, often a pond or underground storage, internal roads to municipal standard, hydro, gas and telecom trenching, grading, and the culverts, maintenance holes and concrete works that go with them. On a greenfield site it is the critical path before any building can be occupied.
Because the building quotation arrives first and covers only the building. Servicing extensions, stormwater facilities, development charges and utility upgrades sit outside it, and on a serviced-from-scratch site they frequently exceed the building package. We price the whole scope at the same time, at the same confidence level.
Yes: municipalities, developers and private clients. Road construction, culverts, stormwater and utility works as a standalone civil scope, or as Phase 1 of a building we then construct.
Site plan or subdivision agreement with the municipality, conservation authority permits for stormwater and any work near watercourses, Ministry of Environment approvals for private water or wastewater systems, and utility coordination. These run on their own timelines and are managed alongside the civil works.
Yes. Portable bridges and pathways for sites where a permanent structure is not warranted, plus the clearing, grading and dewatering to make the site workable.
