About DMT

Our Company

We don't just build structures — we build trust, reliability, and results that last generations.

The DMT Story

With more than 50 years of combined experience, DMT Building Group brings craftsmanship, precision, and innovation to every build.

Our team lives and breathes Insulated Concrete Form construction, delivering foundations and full structural systems that stand the test of time. From the first footing to the final floor assembly, we take pride in self-performing our scope, handling every stage of the concrete work with skill and relentless attention to detail.

What sets us apart is simple: an uncompromising commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Whether it's an addition, a custom home, a cottage retreat, or a multi-storey build, we combine technical expertise with a hands-on approach that ensures every project runs smoothly, safely, and to the highest standard.

We don't just build structures — we build trust, reliability, and results that last generations. At the heart of it all is our promise: smart builds for real life.

What Sets Us Apart

We self-perform

Our own crews do the footings, the walls and the waterproofing — not a rotating cast of subs. One point of accountability for the concrete scope.

ICF specialism

We don't dabble in insulated concrete — it's our core trade, on every foundation, wall and structure we build.

Bedrock expertise

Scribed and pinned onto exposed Canadian Shield rock — the footings, or the ICF itself, whichever the site calls for.

Craftsmanship, measured

Every lift braced, checked and poured to spec. The below-grade work nobody sees gets the same care as the finishes everybody does.

Who You'll Deal With

Jerry is the owner you will deal with — from the first site walk to the last pour.

Jerry Townsend

Owner · 20+ years building in ICF

Jerry has been building in insulated concrete for more than twenty years — long enough to have watched ICF go from a curiosity most trades would not touch to the way a lot of serious builders now do their foundations.

He is the owner of DMT Building Group, a company that carries more than fifty years of combined experience. Most of the calls he takes come from builders who already know the product. The rest come from homeowners who have heard something about ICF and want a straight answer.

Usually that answer is less than people expect. Yes, you can put drywall straight onto the wall. No, you do not need a second drainage board, or waterproofing on the frost wall, or membrane under the basement slab. He would rather take a line off your quote than sell you a detail the assembly does not need.
