Business
The business that the show revolves around is Baeumler Quality Construction (BQC), co-founded by Bryan Baeumler, a home construction business that does new builds and renovations; a full-service construction and renovation firm. The company operates in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada; and is based in Burlington and Oakville.[44][45][46]
