DESIGN-BUILD & PLANNING · NEWCASTLE
Custom homes in Newcastle
When the same team plans and builds a house, the framing stage tells the story. Beams are already sized, window openings match the order, and the stairs and ductwork have their place. Problems that usually appear on site were solved on paper months earlier.
For Newcastle families, that means fewer changes during construction, fewer delays and a final cost close to the one agreed before work began.

Questions answered early
Lot grading, the sewer connection, the driveway slope and where the furnace goes are all settled in planning. That keeps trades working instead of waiting for answers.
Grading and drainage
In newer Newcastle subdivisions, the lot grading plan sets the height of the foundation and where water must flow. We work from that plan from the first sketch, so the floor level, driveway slope and window wells all fit and the final grading inspection passes without changes.
Working with the subdivision
New subdivisions often have architectural guidelines covering materials, colours and garage placement. We review those rules with you and the designer so the home is approved quickly and still reflects your taste.
Choosing a lot in Newcastle
If you have not bought a lot yet, we can help you compare options. Width, depth, slope, sun direction and the neighbouring houses all affect what you can build and how it will feel. A quick review before you buy can save a redesign later.

We also plan and build in Bowmanville, Courtice and across Clarington. See also custom homes in Newcastle.

After receiving a few quotes from different contractors to do a full renovation of our kitchen and dining room, we chose Henley because of how comfortable Nick and his team made us feel right from the first conversation.
From start to finish it took just over three weeks for the team to demolish our ugly, dated, and dark kitchen, and fully rebuild a stunning bright and light new space, designed with style and functionality in mind.
The Henley team was very responsive (shout out to Tom and Michelle), and kept us fully informed throughout the project with the Buildertrend app. They uploaded photos and notes to the app daily, so we always knew where the project was at and how things were progressing. We loved the transparency of this, especially not being at home through the reno.
Thank you Henley Contracting for completely transforming our space.
We are so happy with the final results! -

We recently collaborated with Henley Contracting on a custom cottage build in the Kawartha Lakes area, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Their team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the project met our exact specifications.
Communication was seamless throughout the process; they kept us informed at every stage and were always available to address any questions or concerns. The project was completed on schedule and within the agreed-upon budget, reflecting their commitment to reliability and efficiency.
The quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations, with meticulous craftsmanship evident in every facet of the build. The final result is a stunning cottage that not only meets but surpasses our vision.
We highly recommend Henley Contracting to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled contractor for custom home or cottage construction. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly commendable.
Ps. Thanks for the invite to your cottage this summer! Looking forward to it!
