The Construction Source

OCTOBER 2020 and all bring valuable insight and experience to the building side of the company. Robb first put together that team of leaders roughly three years ago. His goal in starting the company was to build homes at a much quicker pace, and at a significantly higher volume, than the municipality had ever experienced. They started by buying 30 lots. “That was unheard of in Chatham,” Robb recalls. “Usually you bought two lots at a time, built two houses, then bought two more, and built two more houses. But we just mass built a street.” “A parallel street took seven years, start to finish, to develop 30 lots,” he adds. “We took 10 months. We just brought a completely different look to Chatham.” In the years since, Robb says that buyers have responded extremely positively to Maple City Homes’ increased offering. He says the company has grown rapidly and their subdivisions have consistently sold well. He credits that success to the company’s uncompromising commitment to quality and energy-efficiency. Though they are working on a higher volume of homes compared to other local builders, that doesn’t mean they are working to a lower quality standard. According to Robb, that’s the value in having partners like Trevor Mailloux, Gilles Michaud, and Darryl Clarke. They draw on their vast construction industry experience, building expertise, and their network of sub-trades and suppliers to ensure that Maple City Homes’ quality never dips. Because of them, Robb says the company can provide the “same high standards that go into high-end homes,” and they can offer it an “an amazing value.” “Our customers get a very high- end product at a very affordable price. Our new homes are usually even more affordable than the used homes in the same areas.”
