Design-Build Contractor in Brooklin, ON
Henley Contracting is a design-build contractor in Brooklin for families planning a custom home on a new lot or replacing an older house.

Custom family homes in Brooklin
Brooklin families often know what they want: a three-car garage, a main-floor office, a big kitchen and room for everyone. The challenge is fitting it all within the budget and the lot. Design-build keeps those three things in balance from the first meeting.
As the plan develops, we price each option. If the budget is tight, we suggest where to save without losing what matters, before the drawings are final rather than after.

From foundation to finish
Once the plan is set and the permit is in place, construction starts with the foundation. Because the same team planned the home, details like drainage, beam sizes and window openings are already worked out, which keeps the schedule steady.

04 / IN FOCUSDESIGN-BUILD & PLANNING · BROOKLIN
Choosing finishes on time
Late decisions are a common cause of delay. During planning we set a selections schedule: when you need to choose windows, cabinets, flooring and fixtures, and which items have long lead times. Ordering on time keeps trades moving and prevents the house from waiting on a single missing piece.
05 / IN FOCUSDESIGN-BUILD & PLANNING · BROOKLIN
Energy and comfort
A new home is the best time to plan for comfort and lower energy bills. We review insulation, windows, air tightness and the heating system during design, and help you decide where extra spending pays back, such as better windows on the sunny side.

Josh ONeil
My project started before the pandemic. Work was about 30% complete and going well. The pandemic hit me a bit financially which stressed me out about the project. The Henley team helped reverse engineer and descope some of the project to suit my new affordability. They handled this with class and professionalism which im sure created extra work for them. Communication was excellent and finished product is fantastic. I will never work with or recommend another contractor again

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Tell us about your project and ask us directly.
How does design-build save money?
Costs are checked while the design is still flexible, so changes are cheap. Changing drawings after pricing, or the house during construction, costs far more.
Who owns the drawings?
This is set out in the agreement at the start. We explain it clearly before you sign.
Who issues permits in Brooklin?
The Town of Whitby.
