Dwell Construction — Design-Build-Renovate Contractor in Ingersoll, Oxford County, ON
Dwell Construction is a design-build-renovate shop based at 147 Thames Street South in Ingersoll. Husband-and-wife founders Matt and Lisa opened the firm in 2011 in their hometown after Matt came up through commercial construction at scale — Fanshawe College carpentry credentials in 2002, membership in Local 1946 Carpentry Union out of London, Ontario, and years as a project coordinator and chief estimator running crews on builds ranging from $100k renovations to $7M supermarket base-builds. That production-construction background is uncommon in a small-town residential shop and shapes how Dwell estimates, schedules, and closes out projects.

Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews
Dwell is the sixth Oxford County anchor on the directory and the first listing to disclose a carpentry-union origin story — a signal homeowners can read about how the shop treats trade training and scope discipline. Design-build-renovate under one roof is also relatively rare in small-town Ontario; most owners end up splitting design, estimating, and build across three vendors, which Dwell compresses into one contract.
