Our founder Sean established the company in 2019 in pursuit of his lifelong passion, while wanting to collaborate on projects of interest with his trusted partner Gurnihal, and their skilled team of professionals. The company's philosophy is simple. To transform houses into homes, one brick at a time. Upholding the belief that everyone deserves a better place to live, no matter where you’re from, or where you’re going in life.
We provide our initial consultation process to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your unique vision. By carefully considering your budget and gathering essential details, we create a thorough wish list. This serves as a solid foundation for translating your ideas into a well-defined plan. Our approach then goes beyond traditional design, where we focus on crafting a personalized blueprint that seamlessly integrates every aspect of your wants, needs, and aspirations. This meticulous process ultimately results in the creation of your dream custom built space.
VALUES
Hard Work. Craftsmanship. Courage. Commitment.
We like to measure twice and cut once.
Truenorth has many meanings to us. We believe in the ideology that your true north should continually keep you moving forward towards your bliss. We see too many corners cut in the industry, literally and metaphorically which is why we think differently, remain accountable, act ethically, and treat every encounter as a meaningful learning experience.
We believe in the value of great customer service first and foremost, and work hard to help serve our local community to the best of our abilities. By measuring twice and cutting once we create beautifully designed spaces to meet your needs at all stages of life.
