Why Lepelaars Builders?

You deal with the boss

Tony is his own project manager. No middlemen, no layers of subcontractors. You talk directly to the person building your home, with regular meetings throughout the process.

Cedar specialists

Tony is known for his work with cedar. It's a high-performance timber that suits most architectural designs, lasting decades with the right care. We know how to get the best from it.

Three generations

Harry Lepelaars started building in CHB in the 1960s. Tony continued the tradition, and now Karl carries it forward. Over 50 years of knowledge passed down on-site.
