Our Philosophy: Built for Generations, Designed to Inspire

The final pages of our Lookbook share the heart of who we are at Normerica. From our founder David McFarlane's original vision to President Chris McFarlane's continued commitment to authentic craftsmanship and timeless design, you'll understand why we've been trusted with creating family legacies since 1979.

As Chris shares:

"My father taught me that building homes is about more than assembling materials—it's about creating spaces where families build their lives and memories."

That philosophy drives everything we do — from our centuries-old authentic timber frame techniques to our commitment to sustainable, responsible building practices that honor our environment and future generations.
