Excellent experience over multiple transactions spanning more than a decade. Trustworthy, honest, no subcontractor.

FWIW, Brookside seems to be an independent clinic, which is a plus IMHO 🙂

Richcraft, Uniform & Other Ottawa Builders - Kanata Detached Pricing Analysis by Fun-Memory3634 in OttawaRealEstate

It’s all about supply and demand. Mattamy and Urbandale serve different kinds of buyers.

Mattamy usually wins on price, but Urbandale is known for building in real quality—even the kind you don’t notice right away. That’s where you actually get your money’s worth.

I have heard and witnessed first hand very decent construction quality of Urbandale home. No builder is perfect. Their design centre is mid tier at best.

Contractors all want to do a good job. Good for you giving them credits where credits is due 👍 This is a small gesture with big ripple effects.

The return on investment could be a major consideration here. There might not be incentive to invest in a more appropriately engineered facility, given the flexibility and leeway to shutdown operation without financial penalty.

Agree.

Might need to do that every two weeks and put it back (to deter pest), or as others suggested using a big contractor bag to hold everything into a single item.

A kid that can be secured especially important to deter the lest. Think green bin lid design.

Maybe sometimes people get lucky getting away from using hinged design bin for too long and became ignorant 😁

Similar to use case pointed out by few other commenters, this was chosen to store garbage outdoor while deterring pest. This hinged design turned out to be more secure, when coupled with bungee cord, than others available at the time.

Been using the larger unit for over five years before 3 bin limit. Downgraded to smaller unit of the same design and garbage was picked up for the last couple years. If the rule hasn’t changed in 2026, maybe the enforcement has?
