The Construction Source

THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA Both Shawn Marsh and Eve Claxton come from longstand- ing careers in Guelph’s high-end custom home sector – Shawn in framing, and Eve in real estate. Both are passionate about the industry, and care deeply about providing high quality homes that blend classic and modern concepts.

Moving forward, for those rea- sons, Eve says the company’s limits will remain in place. The An exciting future
