  We are nearing the end of an extensive Net Zero renovation of our historic farmhouse, and I have no regrets about choosing Lanark Design/Build for the project. Their knowledge of both energy efficient renovation and historic houses has been evident throughout the project. We have been living in the house during the work, and have observed day in and day out their exceptional attention to detail. This is true both for technical and aesthetic aspects, resulting in a house that is extremely energy efficient with beautiful details. The communication has been excellent. Mark and team are transparent about timelines, decision making and invoicing, and are very responsive to questions and concerns. Finally, I'll note that everyone on the team is friendly and very conscientious, which is a lovely bonus when you have work happening in your house for many months!

  LDBD completed a full renovation of the first floor of our log home. **** was very involved throughout the process, working with us and a designer. The work involved demolitioning a large fireplace, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom and reconstruction for an upgrade He managed contractors like electricians and plumbers well. He and his crew are very professional, the work was carried out soundly and on time. He accommodated changes along the way. He is attentive to details and followed up quickly when we needed small repairs later. I highly recommend the company. **** ****** Perth Ontario

  We have used this amazing team twice. **** and his crew did our kitchen in 2023 and our bathroom in 2024. The company is professional, courteous and a pleasure to have in our home. The work was done well and exceeded our expectations!

  In Spring of 2019, we hired **** and his team to remodel our lakefront home. We presented **** with plans from a local architect and together we we finalized a plan to see our vision become reality. We hit a few snags along the way with township building regulations, but **** stayed true to his commitment through to the end. **** and his team were a pleasure to work with, always polite and respectful, and even catered to our cat on occasion. But, most importantly, was their attention to detail. In the end, we have a lovely home that we are proud of and admire daily.We highly recommend **** and his team for your project.

  A couple of months ago a neighbour recommended the Lanark Design/Build Group for renovations in a condo I own in Perth. I called Mark Tritton and that same day I met him on site, and among other things, talked over my intention to open up part of a non-load-bearing wall. I found everyone in this company extremely professional and expert in each of their fields - painting, electrical, structural and drywall. After the renovation crew had created a doorway where the wall had been, the painter came in and completed his work in a timely and efficient manner. Hiring the Lanark Design/Build Group sure took a whole lot of stress away and made the transition to my new home so much easier. Rosemary Tayler, Perth January 2025

  Lanark Design and Build Group completed a relatively large-scale project which incorporated excavation, supplemental drainage, concrete retaining walls, a large concrete pad, installation of exterior electrical for my hot tub/lights/plugs etc., addition of exterior access to my basement, installation of a cold storage room, construction of a lean-to/shelter at one end of my home and a large deck including a beautifully finished three season/screen porch on the back of my home. The project faced a number of challenges primarily due to covid - including product shortages, delays due to availability, work shut-downs, changing plans and skyrocketing costs. They project has now been completed for a couple of years and I couldn't be happier with the final result. The workmanship is superb, and the screen porch has now become my favorite space for hosting, watching TV, eating, working, relaxing etc. during the seasons it can be used. So much so that I am seriously considering adding a permanent heat source to it in order to allow it to be used more in the colder months. I would recommend them without reservation for any project you may be considering.

  In 2020-21, we had Mark and his team build an addition to our our 1830's stone home. The design was completed by Erika Shea, then in the Hay Design team. The project suffered some challenges partly due to being in the heart of COVID-19 but overall we were extremely pleased with the attention to detail in construction science, general workmanship, etc. Deviations from original plans sometimes ended up in longer timelines and additional cost, but Mark honoured all original commitments even though COVID had pushed costs upward. Our addition was reviewed for design awards, and has been complimented thoroughly by anyone that has visited post completion. This video captures the process. https://youtu.be/1VWEKj8gATg I would highly recommend The Lanark Design Build Group, especially if you're trying to create new or updated living space in harmony with heritage structures.

  A few years ago, we hired L.D.B.G. to do a small exterior siding job for us. We were so impressed by their professionalism, the quality of their workmanship and their attention to detail that when we decided to renovate our 1950s cabin, we immediately asked Mark Tritton if he would take on the project. During the renovation, the Landmark Design team guided us through the process of improving the cabin and making it structurally sound, and kept us well informed as the work progressed. The electrician and carpenters walked us through every detail and made sure that everything was done just right. We highly recommend The Landmark Design/Build Group and would not hesitate to hire them again for future projects.

  L.D.B.G. is a group we have been delighted to engage for 2 major projects. In each, they demonstrated professionalism, commitment, creativity and expertise. I have particularly appreciated the level of skill L.D.B.G. demonstrated, bringing our old home into the present day while still maintaining its charm. L.D.B.G. maintained a relationship after the projects were completed, attending to all concerns, questions. It should be noted that the second project was completed during COVID when L.D.B.G. consistently and respectfully abided by infection control measures. I would recommend L.D.B.G. without hesitation.

  We had The Lanark Design/Build Group construct an addition to our home in 2020, and we couldn't be happier with the result. Working with Mark Tritton was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He guided us through every step of the process, taking the time to explain any changes to the original plan and offering us well-thought-out options for the best path forward. Mark provided a highly detailed quote upfront, and we were thrilled that the project came in on budget. He kept us informed throughout and was incredibly accommodating when we decided to tweak a few items along the way. His team was nothing short of exceptional—professional, skilled, and committed to delivering top-quality work. The addition is everything we hoped for and more, and we owe it all to Mark and his outstanding team. If you're looking for a builder who is thorough, reliable, and truly cares about your vision, we highly recommend The Lanark Design/Build Group!
