Jacob Hiebert (Tillsonburg) $165K+ AMP and Destination Estates Ltd. (Guelph) $5,978 AMP — unlicensed-builder enforcement pattern
Created 2026-05-24
Claim: Two representative unlicensed-builder AMPs:
- Jacob Hiebert (Tillsonburg) — $165,000+ AMP for selling a new home unlicensed and unenrolled.
- Destination Estates Ltd. (Guelph) — $5,978 AMP for acting as an unlicensed builder while promoting services online.
Confidence: Verified.
Pattern illustrated: Unlicensed-builder AMPs are HCRA's routine enforcement output (vs. headline Albion/Adi-scale cases). The Destination Estates case is notable because online promotion alone triggered enforcement — a direct relevance to anyone building marketing pages for an Ontario residential GC. See RULE: Every Candid builder-client site must display HCRA licence number(s) in the footer of every page and link directly to the builder's OBD profile.
Hira Custom Homes (Cambridge) had its renewal refused with 19 chargeable Tarion conciliations and $1.61M owed to Tarion — see https://storeys.com/hcra-denies-licence-cambridge-homebuilder/. Verified.
