HOW WE BUILD HOMES

  • We want to get to know you. Your vision, your goals, your schedule, your budget, everything that matters most in to you in a home building experience.

    We love to create from scratch. With the opportunity to build from the ground up, we can truly push outside the standard of what is possible. When we build your home, we are focused on crafting a space that is comfortable, safe and a place to grow as a family or individual.

  • At Northmen Builders, we believe successful projects start with detailed planning. During our pre-construction phase, we invest in understanding your vision and aligning it with practical timelines and budgets. We collaborate with architects and designers to establish a detailed roadmap, including scope, schedule, and cost estimates. With thorough pre-construction planning, we set the stage for a streamlined build that keeps your project on track.

  • In the construction phase, Northmen Builders will brings your project to life with precision, craftsmanship and commitment to quality. We will manage every detail ensuring each step progresses seamlessly. With regular communication and scheduling we keep your project on time and on budget. We work closely with you, offering updates and walkthroughs so you stay informed. Our construction process is designed to deliver an experience as satisfying as the final result.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Jacob B.

    "We are thrilled to have had Northmen Builders complete work at our home. The care that the owners, Brendan and Jesse, have in their work is second to none from what I’ve seen. They are true craftsmen, creating beautiful work out of deep passion for their trade. I have said it to many people since they completed the work on our home, watching these guys work is like watching a ballet. They work together seamlessly, at a rate twice as fast as most, and on top of that, they deliver results of the highest quality. 

    If you are looking for the best, there is no one I could recommend more than Northmen Builders.”

  • Pete & Cathy

    "When we decided to build, Cathy and I were quite clear on the qualities important for the craftspeople we invited to build our home. Although I'm not a construction expert, I have been around construction for many years. I knew what was essential for our project to go well. I knew we needed craftspeople who...

    we could trust to have our best interest at heart; who would look out for what is best even when we were not onsite...which was often.

    took care to ensure... communication was clear, budget and timing were honoured, other trades were considered part of the team, and property and work were protected from damage.

    were proactive in offering ideas and different perspectives in tackling opportunities and challenges to ensure the build process moved forward and that the end product was beautiful.

    could engage in the creative process, bringing cool ideas that would enhance the beauty of our home.

    understood the importance of healthy working relationships so that the site worked well for all involved. 

    Northmen Builders, Jesse and Brendan...and team, more than delivered on all 5! If having a team of craftspeople who you can trust, who take care, who are proactive, who are creative and who can work well together on your project then I can't recommend Northmen high enough. You won't be disappointed...you'll be delighted! We were!!

    Northmen Builders.... Top Job, went beyond our expectations, and in a timely manner as discussed!

    We had a nice addition built on our fairly new home and they were able to match everything seamlessly from siding to windows and shingles, they brought some additional insight into some items that we hadn't thought of previously and it all came together beautifully and beyond our expectations. All additional trades were just as professional, courteous and professional with cleaning up the job sites daily,  even my neighbours complimented us on a job WELL DONE!!!

    THANK YOU NORTHMEN BUILDERS, we love, love, love our new addition!
