ABOUT US

We are a family owned and operated business. Our journey to designing and building custom homes within the Durham region start in 1972. When Bas van Andel immigrated from the Netherlands to Canada. After a few odd jobs including some in construction. Bas found his calling in architecture and started with Bell Drafting in Whitby. Before long he went out on his own and was designing homes on his own. Desiring to put the theory into practice, he soon began to build the homes he was designing. In 2007, Shawn van Andel joined the Andelwood Homes team working along side his dad (Bas van Andel). Shawn developed his keen eye for detail within the construction industry by watching and learning from his dad working late into the night over his drafting table, designing beautiful custom homes. Along with spending most days on construction site with his dad, learning from the ground up. As he got older, he spent summers working for various sub-trades, in order to get a feel for other aspects of building a home. Now Shawn runs the day-to-day operations of the business.
