What Rebuild Response does

Rebuild Response is a Canadian construction services franchise platform that specializes exclusively in large and total property loss rebuilds for the insurance industry. Founded in 2010 by Tom Streek and formalized as a registered Ontario franchisor in 2019 under the Rebuild Response Group, the company operates a national network of vetted, licensed builders across Canada, with deep coverage in Ontario and an expanding footprint nationally. Its core offering spans residential, commercial, industrial, multi-unit, farm, and catastrophic loss rebuilds, along with a premium ELITE tier for high-value estates requiring smart-home, waterfront, and heritage restoration capabilities. The platform is anchored by insurer-aligned standardized processes, including 14-day replacement estimates, 48-hour demolition estimates, weekly photo reporting, and New Home Warranty via Tarion and Pacific Home Warranty.

The underlying technology is operational rather than proprietary: project management runs on Procore for commercial jobs, with standardized estimating, reporting, and documentation applied across all regions. The GTM motion is dual-tracked: direct engagement with insurance professionals and policyholders through a 1-800 inbound line, and a referral channel built on relationships with insurance carriers, independent adjusters (PCA Adjusters, Bay of Quinte Mutual Insurance, L&A Mutual Insurance), and industry associations (OIAA, CIAA, IICRC). Revenue is generated through project-based construction estimates paid via insurance claims, supplemented by a CGI Constructors partnership (December 2025) that extends the company into commercial and institutional rebuilds. The franchise model means franchisees carry execution risk while head office coordinates intake, standards, and warranty administration. The company is privately held with 1-10 direct employees and no disclosed external funding.
