Quality Built Engineered Homes

We can guide you through the entire home building experience from start to finish. We help you to build SMART. Our engineered homes meet rigorous standards of excellence and are built in controlled atmospheres. For those of us living in Northern Ontario, this is a serious benefit when it comes to protection from the elements and especially in regards to timing issues due to our limited seasonal time frames.

We can provide engineered homes for every design as well as providing many models to choose from, or help you modify or customize any design that best suits your tastes or needs. As designers and expert tradesmen, we not only provide the engineered home package but we can provide all those details, enhancements or specialties that you need to finish your home the way you like it and to set it apart from any other. Foundations, basements, custom millwork, trim, staircases and final finishes are supplied and installed by our local expert JL staff to guarantee your satisfaction.

You will be pleased at the affordability of these engineered homes as well as the shortened project time frame. Once we have finalized plans and contract details, most homes projects can be completed in about 8 weeks from ground-breaking to moving in! That’s planning your home building project the SMART way!
