Northland Building Supplies Ltd.

We just got our dream Garage/Shop built by Northland Building Supplies and we are extremely pleased and will be able to accommodate a hoist. We had our own design ideas and got quotes from other builders but it was NBS that we choose to work with because of their flexibility through all stages of the project. Their staff is experienced and very professional from the design and blueprint phase to the final finish. Our site manager, Brent, did an excellent job of scheduling and coordinating all of the various trades to get the job done, in spite of Edmonton’s’ extraordinarily wet summer weather.

We are very happy with our unique Garage/Shop which is over 800 sq. ft. and designed to fit our pie-shaped lot and its true that NBS build a quality product at a great price.

NBS arranged the entire build and all of the trades were very skilled and did an excellent job. Since we had our own design ideas, we really appreciated that they allowed us to make minor adjustments along the way to improve on our final build.

We would definitely recommend Northland Building Supplies to anyone wanting to build a garage. They were extremely flexible and with all of their experience, they gave us great suggestions and design ideas.

I contacted Northlands for a custom garage package and it was a great experience from the first conversation with Robert to the sign off with Brent. I had limited space to build and wanted to make sure I could maximize use of the space. With an existing structure on one side and an easement on the other, they designed an 11' x 25' garage with 10' walls. Communication was excellent and Brent made sure I was informed of every step along the way. The project was delayed due to weather a couple times but when the trades were there working, they worked hard and were respectful of the property. These guys are the experts and will work with you from start to finish as well as checking in after to make sure things were still good. You can't go wrong with Northlands.

Originally I had thought Northlands was excellent. I am building a large custom home. In the end, 27 of 81 trusses were wrong. They had to bring in a crane to completely remove two of the huge 3 ply girder trusses and my framer had to cut and reframe some trusses as well. Out of the 27 they replaced around a dozen were rebuilt completely. They suggested my framer was at fault for most. The balance of the 27 were designed wrong. In the end, my costs are at least half the $16000 truss bill. Framing cost and crane alone were over $3000. The owner says "Maximum $2000" to fix.

Suggestion: stay away from Northlands. Brutal customer service, 0 accountability. They in fact blamed most on the framer, or on my plans, etc. If you want further details, I can show you pictures of why you should not deal with Northlands. A complete and utter disaster.

The balance to this conversation is that my builder has dealt with them for many years and 30+ houses and said they build a great product and their pricing is excellent. That had not been my experience and I wanted Edmonton to know.

We purchased a custom garage package from Northland last fall and were very happy with the results. Brent and Robert were fantastic and really helped with everything from permits to design, make sure to pick their brain for ideas on your design! The materials provided were excellent quality, the carpenter I hired to assist in the build kept saying how great the lumber was to work with and it sure made keeping things plumb allot easier. Garage door, man door, and window were also excellent quality. Big job but with the help of Robert and Brent at Northland and the quality of the package the build went great. You can’t go wrong getting your garage package from these guys.

Oh ya delivery of package was excellent, the fellow who delivered ours really worked well to get things placed where we needed them and not damage anything (not an easy feet).
