CASA VERDE CONSTRUCTION INC.

What CASA VERDE CONSTRUCTION INC. does

Casa Verde Construction Inc. is a privately held, Ottawa-based custom home builder founded by Paul McElligott, operating since 2001 and serving high-net-worth homeowners across the Ottawa region and Eastern Ontario/Quebec cottage country. The company delivers full-service, one-time-fee projects spanning custom homes, large-scale renovations, heritage restorations, luxury cottages and ski chalets, timber frame construction, custom millwork, project management, and boutique small commercial builds. Each engagement runs from concept to completion, covering site selection, permitting, design coordination, construction, materials, and finishing, with pricing bespoke to scope and negotiated per project on multi-year timelines.

The company's underlying capability is craft-based rather than technology-based: traditional timber frame joinery using wood joints and hardwood pegs, custom millwork that can incorporate wood harvested from the client's own property, heritage restoration expertise demonstrated in Ottawa's Rockcliffe Park and New Edinburgh neighbourhoods, and sustainable building practices including a LEED Silver-certified heritage conversion (Barnstone). Customer acquisition is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct inbound inquiries (phone, email, website form), Houzz presence, referrals from a tightly held network of Ottawa architects and interior designers (Flynn Architect, Riversong Design, O'Keefe-Fiorenza, Hobin Architecture, 2H Interior Design Studio, Linebox Studio, MAFCOHOUSE), regional earned media (Luxe Magazine, Ottawa Magazine, Ottawa Business Journal), and trade credibility (GOHBA, Renomark, Tarion). The revenue model is fully project-based with no recurring subscription or maintenance revenue, and the firm is operationally founder-led with Paul McElligott (President) and Laura McElligott (Operations and Marketing) supported by carpenters, engineers, timber framers, and trades.
