Family-owned. Owner-led.

Malamar Construction was established in 2019 in Guelph, Ontario — built on 35 years of on-site experience and a simple belief: plan it properly, communicate clearly, and build it right the first time.

AB-01 · Our story

A Guelph company that treats your home like a drawing worth getting right.

Malamar brings together a skilled team of project managers, site supervisors, tradespeople and trusted subcontractors to handle projects of all sizes — from initial estimates through to final completion. Residential renovations, additions, or commercial work: the same organized, professional service every time.

We're a family business, and it shows in how we work — clean crews, straight answers, and a genuine respect for the home or space you've asked us into.
