Donkers Harris Ltd — Custom Energy-Efficient Homes & Renovations in Listowel, ON Since 1983
Few contractors operating in Ontario today can match Donkers Harris Ltd’s depth of experience. Founded in 1983, the company has spent over four decades building and renovating homes across North Perth and Southwestern Ontario — accumulating the kind of institutional knowledge that only comes from building through several economic cycles and evolving building codes.
Based at 3 David Street in Listowel, Donkers Harris is best known for two things: custom new home construction and their specialization in energy-efficient building using insulated concrete form (ICF) technology. Through their Maxx Wall Systems division, they are a leading regional installer of the Nudura block system — a sophisticated ICF product that dramatically reduces heating and cooling costs compared to conventional wood-frame construction. This expertise puts them in rare company in Southwestern Ontario.
