At the kitchen table
It starts at home, with the people you cook for and the people you carry. A house is the oldest promise a person can keep.
A letter to Hamilton
Dear Hamilton,
You were never a city to settle for. You were a city waiting to be chosen.
Hamilton infill home builder specializing in ADUs, multiplex conversions and missing-middle housing.
From Hamilton, for Hamilton
The word that runs the whole company
Provide.
At the scale of a city
The same promise, made bigger. More homes on streets that already have the porches, maples and bones.
Build it.
House-scale homes on Hamilton’s infill streets.
Prove it.
Every finished home is a visible argument that quality infill works.
Teach it.
Share the proven playbook so the next builder starts farther ahead.
Our thesis
This city has been coming back for a generation. We’d like to help it arrive.
Hamilton’s streets were built for more neighbours than they hold today. The porches are here. The schools are here.
What’s missing is the housing in the middle—bigger than a single house, smaller than a tower.
4 → 6
Where four homes fit today, six gentle, house-scale homes should be able to belong.
Understand missing-middle housing →Why it matters
These homes are for someone. Someone real.
The nurse on a shift at the General. The family that grew up in Hamilton and wants to raise kids here. The renter pushed one neighbourhood over, then one city over.
New homes are not cheap. But the city is short thousands of homes, and you do not fix short by building nothing.
Duplexes and fourplexes used to be ordinary. They built the best old streets in this city. They are hard to build now. We build them anyway.
The evidence
We don’t just say it. We build it.

Discuss a project →What we do
Six ways to work with us.
We build our own projects, and we run the same work for other people. Same team, same standard.
Development management
Acquisition, approvals, consultant coordination, construction and lease-up.
Feasibility studies
What the site can hold, whether the numbers survive and when the right answer is no.
ADU & multiplex conversions
Planning and construction for legal suites, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes.
Infill construction
Licensed delivery for house-form, missing-middle residential projects.
Design & permits
Design collaboration, consultant coordination, submissions and revisions.
Interior design guidance
Interior direction, finish selections and build-ready material schedules.
Our approach
One team, from the offer to the keys.
Most projects get handed across a dozen companies. We own the whole thing, start to finish.
- 01Find the lot
Acquisition and honest underwriting.
- 02Earn the design
Feasibility, zoning and approvals.
- 03Run the build
Trades, schedule and communication.
- 04Hand over the keys
Closeout, lease-up and warranty.
The builder
Graham Kilgour.
He is the one who answers the email.
Graham started Haddon Homes to build the housing Hamilton is short of: the middle.
Haddon is deliberately small and hands-on. One team carries the lot through approvals, hires the trades and holds the schedule.
