Residential Construction

Built with Care. Backed by Experience.

While Les Bertram & Sons is known for commercial, institutional, and agricultural construction, our team also takes on select residential projects through our Bertram Homes division. These one-off, by-appointment builds reflect the same values we’re known for integrity, quality, and a no-nonsense approach to construction.

Whether it’s a custom home on the lake or a new build on rural property, we bring the same level of craftsmanship and professionalism to every project. Our residential builds are carefully planned, structurally sound, and built to meet the unique lifestyle needs of each client.

Custom Homes, Thoughtfully Built

We don’t mass-produce houses we craft personalized homes with attention to detail, structural integrity, and long-term livability.

One-on-One Project Approach

Each residential build is taken on by appointment only. This allows our team to stay focused, collaborative, and fully invested in your vision.

Land Sourcing

The foundation of every successful build

The right build starts with the right land. Whether you're developing a commercial site, agricultural structure, or institutional facility, we help identify and evaluate potential properties that align with your goals. We assess zoning, access, infrastructure availability, and long-term viability—ensuring your site supports your vision before we break ground.

Build Design & Analysis

Smart design that works for you

Once the land is secured, our team collaborates with trusted architects and engineers to bring your vision to life. Every design is carefully reviewed for structural integrity, workflow efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and compliance. We provide early-stage budgeting and constructability reviews to ensure smart decisions are made before drawings are finalized.

Permitting

Navigating approvals without delays

Navigating permits and approvals is a process we know inside and out. We manage all necessary applications with municipalities, conservation authorities, and governing bodies—streamlining timelines and reducing red tape. Our long-standing relationships with local authorities give us an edge in moving your project forward without unnecessary delays.

Construction

From blueprint to reality

This is where it all comes together. With experienced project managers, skilled local trades, and a clear execution plan, we bring your project to life with precision. From breaking ground to final inspection, we maintain strict safety standards, detailed scheduling, and transparent communication. We don’t just build—we deliver what we promised.
