True Form Construction exists because of one observation Eric Kotlyar couldn’t stop making.

Eric came to Canada in 2001 with an engineering degree from Ukraine and the kind of structural mindset that asks why a wall holds before it asks what colour to paint it. Like many newcomers with European credentials, he started over — first on Toronto construction sites, then progressively in design and project oversight as North York builders recognized the engineer behind the toolbelt.
Across ten years and dozens of projects under other companies’ names, the same problem kept surfacing: designers drawing details that couldn’t be built, builders modifying plans without telling the designer, homeowners caught in the middle paying for every miscommunication. By the time the bathroom was tiled, three people had each blamed the other two — and the budget had quietly grown 30%.
“A renovation isn’t a list of materials. It’s a system. And systems fail at their interfaces — not at their components.”
In 2011, Eric founded True Form Construction to fix exactly that gap. The company was built around a single structural principle borrowed from his engineering training: eliminate the interface between designer and builder, and you eliminate where renovations go wrong.
Today, True Form is a fully integrated design-build firm — every kitchen, basement, addition, and condo renovation moves through one team, one schedule, and one fixed-price contract. 450+ completed projects, 25 years of personal experience in the trades, 15 years of building the company that proved his theory right.
That same engineering rigour is why journalists at Martha Stewart Living, Yahoo, AOL, Realtor.com, The Spruce, Apartment Therapy, Family Handyman, and Living Etc consistently reach out to Eric for expert commentary — on subjects ranging from subfloor reinforcement for cast-iron bathtubs to the heat-dissipation failures of LED strips installed in enclosed wooden coves.

A renovation is a system. We built ours around its weakest point.
Standard renovation projects pass through three sets of hands that don’t share a contract, a schedule, or a single source of truth. The result is predictable failure at every handoff. True Form was engineered to remove those interfaces entirely.

A home should be the safest place anyone has.
In October 2025, True Form Construction stood as a “Light the Way” sponsor of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation Night Light Walk Toronto — a 3-kilometre walk through Kew Gardens raising funds for Nellie’s Shelter and Red Door Family Shelter, organizations that protect women and children fleeing intimate partner violence.
Most of what we do is build homes. A home is supposed to be a refuge. For people who’ve lost that, the shelters that catch them are not optional — they’re life-saving. We support them every year.
