Custom home building
A wide range of custom homes in the Almonte, Ontario area have been built by my company, David Barr Construction, over the past 20+ years. Traditional construction has been superseded more and more in recent years by insulated concrete forms, a superior building method (see below).
Energy efficient homes / green home building
Energy efficiency and environmental building methods with a lower impact are key principles in the building methods that I've used over the years, and an important part of what I do. Healthier homes are important to owners and to David Barr Construction.
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) building
More than ten years ago, as green home building and healthy homes grew in importance to me and I learned more about how home construction could be improved in these areas, I became aware of ICF as a superior building method. I have since built several homes entirely out of insulated concrete forms, three of which are profiled in photo galleries linked to from this page. Read more about insulated concrete forms.
It goes without saying that there is still a role for traditional construction, a method that I still often deploy for garages, gazebos, porches and other smaller structures associated with home building.
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) foundations
In addition to home construction from top to bottom using ICF, David Barr Construction will also build ICF foundations.
Home additions and renovations
David Barr Construction has implemented a great variety of custom home additions and renovation projects and can work with you to make your home renovation a success.
Home restoration projects
In addition to a passion for building methods and the big picture, I take tremendous pride in the more detailed restoration projects that I've undertaken over the years, which often gives me more of an opportunity to use my custom wordworking skills.
