Frontier Building Group

What Frontier Building Group does

Frontier Building Group is a family-owned, women-owned residential design-build construction firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Waterford, Ontario. The company delivers whole-home renovations, room-specific renovations (kitchen, bathroom, basement), home additions, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and garden suites, and — as of 2026 — HCRA-licensed custom home construction with Tarion warranty backing. Its core operational model is an integrated design-build process in which a single in-house team manages the project from initial consultation and architectural design through permitting, construction management, and finishing, with the stated intent of eliminating the coordination gaps that typically arise between separate architects, engineers, and contractors.

The firm serves residential homeowners across southwestern Ontario, with primary service coverage in Brant, Norfolk, and Haldimand Counties and extended reach into Brantford, Paris, Simcoe, Hamilton, Burlington, Cambridge, Ohsweken, Six Nations of the Grand River, and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Project revenue is generated on a per-project, quote-based pricing model with disclosed ticket sizes ranging from approximately $110,000 for targeted renovations to $225,000 for home additions and $150,000–$350,000 for ADUs, with custom homes priced above that range. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, driven by website consultations, organic and social content marketing across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, email newsletters, and a referral network; a free downloadable renovation planning guide has accumulated over 10,000 downloads as a top-of-funnel lead generator.

The company reports over 1,900 completed projects since inception, a 14-person in-house team, 99 Google reviews, BBB accreditation, Renomark membership, and Haldimand-Norfolk Home Builders' Association affiliation. The business remains privately held with no disclosed venture, private equity, or institutional investment, and leadership comprises President Jonathan Jagt, Owner Christopher Jagt, and Vice President of Construction Paul Gaudet (promoted from Construction Manager in 2026).

Core offering

Frontier Building Group is a residential design-build construction company that delivers custom home builds, whole-home renovations, kitchen, bathroom, and basement renovations, home additions, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) including garden suites and garage conversions. One in-house team guides each project from initial consultation and architectural design through permitting and final construction, with project-specific quotes ranging from approximately $110,000 to $350,000.

Product overview

Frontier Building Group operates as a full-service design-build construction firm offering a unified suite of residential services rather than a modular software product. The core portfolio spans custom home construction (HCRA-licensed, Tarion-backed), comprehensive whole-home renovations, specialized room-by-room renovations (basement, bathroom, kitchen), garden suites and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and integrated design and permitting services. All projects flow through the company's single-team design-build model where one accountable team manages everything from initial consultation through final construction. The product line includes Custom Homes and Home Additions as primary revenue services, Whole Home Renovations as the flagship offering, with specialized sub-products (Basement, Bathroom, Kitchen Renovations) addressing specific room categories, Garden Suites & ADUs as a distinct growth vertical, and Design & Permitting as a bundled support service. A free Fail-Proof Planning Timeline Guide serves as a lead-generation resource for prospective clients.
