WHEN DESIGN MEETS CONSTRUCTION – YOUR PREFERRED PARTNERSHIP
Home by Tim + Chris and
Four Points Construction
A First-of-its-kind Approach
Four Points Construction and Home by Tim + Chris introduce a first-of-its-kind approach for home and cottage building in the Kawarthas.
Working Together
After working together, Four Points Construction and Home by Tim + Chris are offering a first-of-its-kind approach for the Kawartha region when it comes to an integrated home and cottage building process.
Homeowners get the best result when builders build and designers design. For seasonal residents, you are building a recreational property.
A Four Points Home by Tim + Chris means local partnerships work together to make cottage life easier. For locals, you already know our trusted brands and can appreciate how integrity, reputation and word of mouth are the foundation to any successful business.
For the home or cottage owner this means:
- The builder and designer speak a common language
- A builder that understands creative ideas so that expertise is shared
- A paired dynamic to translate homeowner guidance
- A builder and designer relationship built on mutual respect and earned trust
An Integrated Process
“We believe in design that is highly influenced by the client but driven by us.” says Chris Van Lierop Principal at Home by Tim + Chris. “Working with Tim and Matt and their team has been nothing short of a comfortable relationship that allows our clients to use one product when it comes to sourcing a builder and designer.”
Our partnered approach offers:
- Efficient design - Less design time because we’ve briefed the builder thoroughly
- The most amount of value over the course of your build
- A designer resource for the builder that represents the homeowner
- More detailed project management
- Two entities delivering an integrated and elevated experience
Checks and Balances
From a distance, it looks simple however, the literal hundreds of decisions that make-up a well-appointed build, are why you want solutions not problems.
The intricacy of this relationship between builder and designer determines how a client’s budget can be optimized.
Each project is unique and a connected builder and designer dynamic means:
- An elevated experience for not only the working teams but ultimately the homeowner
- Checkpoints that assess, refine and finalize the work
- Expertise on both sides that professionally work towards the best solution for one another
Adapting to Change
Adapting to change in the building and design industry is the way forward. The design-build approach may get a homeowner a structurally sound, home or cottage, however the process lacks the balances and checks operationally to make this the sustainable way forward. The process tends to be reactionary, often when it is too late to correct course and too expensive.
Design-build cannot offer the elevated experience and sophisticated end result that is often expected in a vacation property or a move from the city to the country, when lifestyle and requirements differ regionally.
The team of Four Points Construction and Home by Tim + Chris are an example of how adapting the approach can benefit both home and cottage owners in the Kawarthas.

Four Points Construction and Home by Tim + Chris Collaborations
Project Nahma
Our Nahma Lodge project is situated on Balsam Lake. We have created not only architectural art, but an interesting and innovative lifestyle concept at the same time. This project is an example of Four Points Construction and Home by Tim + Chris, working together to create our client’s vision.
Project Clear Lake
An example of timeless classic design that transcends boundaries for what comes to mind when you think of a typical walkout basement. By embracing the Kawartha exterior, wood tones and materials were used to enhance a seamless transition for guest rooms, a gym, a media room and a wine room along with an effortless exit to the outdoors.
