Alternative Construction

Sometimes the best results come from a mixture of old-time craftsmanship while taking advantage of the newest advancements in the industry. Whether low-tech or high-tech, A Higher Plane proudly uses mud, scraps, straw, saplings, earth and healthy products in its projects for your home and garden.

Materials Sourcing

A Higher Plane is a leader in the industry for clean materials.  By partnering with small mills in Southern and Eastern Ontario, locally-grown wood is available for your project.  Through relationships with landfill operators, demolition crews, and similar small businesses, A Higher Plane is happy to source and install reclaimed building supplies from rough lumber to antique plumbing parts.
