About Dovetail Built on trust & craft.
Crafting homes built for living.
Every Dovetail home begins the same way — with a conversation about how you actually want to live. From contemporary urban custom builds to major residential transformations, we translate that vision into a home that is functional, beautiful, and built to last.
We are a boutique construction management firm, and that is deliberate. A small number of projects, a principal on site, and a flat-rate structure mean the quality goes into the home — not the overhead.
Adam Patel, Founder.
I started Dovetail to build homes the way I believe they should be built — with a principal who is personally on site, accountable, and invested in getting every detail right.
With over 20 years across the GTA, I've learned what things actually cost and how to deliver exceptional quality without the inflated pricing of the legacy names. I bring an owner's drive to every project: hungry, present, and genuinely committed to the outcome.
I keep my project load deliberately small so that each client gets real attention. When you work with Dovetail, you work with me.
