We Build Homes, Not Just Houses
Welcome to Veldhuisen Construction, a family-owned residential builder that has been crafting custom homes for individuals and families for over 30 years. Based in the serene landscapes of Alberta, in and near the towns of Barrhead, Westlock, and Lacombe, we are committed to transforming your dreams into a solidly constructed, efficiently designed, and comfortable family home.
Our story began in 1987 when Gary and Anita Veldhuisen established the company with a vision to provide construction services for a range of agricultural building projects. Over the years, we have grown and evolved, and today, we take pride in being a small general contractor with a solid reputation for building high-quality homes for owners of both town lots and rural properties.
At Veldhuisen Construction, we believe that every homeowner deserves a space that reflects their personality, style, and aspirations. Our team of experienced professionals, led by Gary, Anita, Jason, and Gresham Veldhuisen, works closely with you to create a custom home that meets your unique needs and budget. Each of our crews brings an efficient mix of knowledge, experience, work ethic, and positive attitude to every project, ensuring that your home is built with precision, care, and attention to detail.
