Our Story
THE BEGINNING
DCOR DESIGN + BUILD
DCOR Design + Build is a product of years of construction, ironworking, large scale commercial projects, and real estate investing. The very foundation of our company began with founder Daniel Coratti working on the tools as an Ironworker while completing his post-secondary education. The tools paved the way to one of Canada’s largest construction firms where Daniel served as a Project Manager supporting large projects within major oil and energy companies, and government agencies. Exceptional relationship management led to managing the largest oil and gas facility in the Greater Toronto Area, rendering DCOR Design + Build’s very own the youngest ever to achieve such a role within the company.
The experience of leading such significant commercial projects provided Daniel the opportunity for real estate investing, to which truly developed and honed a passion for custom and luxury renovations in the residential market.

EXPANDING THE BUSINESS
For years Daniel worked on many projects, completing the work himself with some required assistance with plaster moldings and sometimes, the need for a contractor. The need for a contractor often put Daniel face-to-face with his passion’s biggest frustration: most wouldn’t return calls, and the ones who did rarely showed up to scheduled meetings. When a quote was finally received, it was incredibly overpriced.
With over 10 years of experience with subcontractors working with major players in the GTA and hands on in the residential field, Daniel knew he could do better.
Daniel never had the intention to become a general contractor — instead, it was the lessons, the hard work from humble beginnings, and the need to provide more to people and their homes every day that served as DCOR Design + Build’s beginning.
The desire to do better is the very foundation for DCOR Design + Build where we consistently strive to bring honesty and transparency to the client — something Daniel always knew was missing.
Now, DCOR Design + Build has been offering our services to homeowners in the Toronto area with our sights only on what’s ahead.
