OTTAWA & SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES
Built for the way
you want to live.
A place for family. A home of your own.
A vision for what comes next.
A FOUNDATION FOR WHAT’S NEXT
Thoughtful spaces.
Lasting possibilities.
Every property begins with possibility. A piece of land ready for a custom home. A backyard that could bring family closer. A development that creates room to grow.
Allstead brings a construction-led perspective to custom homes, coach houses, development and the site work that supports them in Ottawa and the surrounding communities.
01 / CUSTOM HOMES
Your life.
Your place in it.
A home should feel considered in every sense: how it sits on the land, how its rooms connect, and how it works for the people who live there.

BUILT AROUND YOUR PRIORITIES
Your home.
Your way.
From the first ideas to the finishing details, we build homes that reflect the people who live in them.
Thoughtful layouts, carefully chosen materials and skilled craftsmanship come together to create a home that feels like yours.
WHY CHOOSE ICF?
Comfort you can feel.
Strength built in.
Insulated concrete forms (ICF) combine steel-reinforced concrete with continuous insulation on both sides of the wall. Here’s what that can mean for your home.
Cody Shantz brings Nudura insulated concrete form (ICF) installation training to your coach-house or custom-home project.
Consistent comfort
Continuous insulation helps reduce heat loss and supports more even indoor temperatures.
Quieter living
Solid concrete walls help reduce the transmission of outside noise.
Efficient by design
An insulated, carefully sealed wall system helps reduce heating and cooling demand.
Built for the long term
Steel-reinforced concrete provides a strong, durable wall structure.
Upgrade the standard poured-concrete foundation to insulated concrete form basement walls, with conventional wood-framed exterior walls above.
Choose insulated concrete form walls above grade in place of conventional wood framing. The foundation and exterior wall system are designed together for your home.
02 / COACH HOUSES
A little closer.
A place of their own.
A detached living space can open up new possibilities for your property—from a home for family to a potential rental residence.
Start with a conversation about your lot, your goals and the space you have in mind. We’ll identify the questions that need to be answered before moving toward a design.
Our coach houses start with a slab-on-grade foundation. Add a basement or choose Nudura ICF exterior walls as optional upgrades, with proposed prices for each model. Basement finishing is conditional on zoning and permit approval.

Design, servicing, approvals and budget
Suitability depends on property-specific zoning, servicing and municipal approvals. An enquiry is the first step, not a confirmation of eligibility.
03 / DEVELOPMENT
Look beyond
what’s there.
The right project starts with a clear understanding of the land and the opportunity.
From residential opportunities to commercial and light-industrial space, we welcome conversations with landowners and project partners about what comes next.
04 / SITE WORK
A solid start.
From the ground up.
Septic systems, excavation and site services for the home you’re building, the property you own and the project ahead.
Bring the connected parts of your site work together—from clearing access and installing services to backfilling and the final grade.
- New and replacement septic systems
- Sewer & water infill servicing
- Excavation, land clearing & site preparation
