About Us | McAulay Construction

A Family Business – in Muskoka

The McAulay family loves Muskoka. Their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents did too. As a cottager, Glen fell in love with Kahshe Lake and along with his wife, Nancy – a fellow Kahshe Lake cottager – he moved to the cottage and has now raised his own family including 3 children and 8 grandchildren on the same property his Grandparents once cottaged.

Glen began building homes and cottages as a young man on Kahshe Lake over 35 years ago. His sons, Brian and Mark, soon joined him 15 years later. They too have always been passionate about Muskoka and are well known enthusiasts both on and off the lake.

Now, as Glen enjoys his well earned retirement, Brian continues to offer clients the best possible experience – from conception to completion.

A Family Business indeed.

Brian McAulay – Project & Building Manager.
Brian leads a team of skilled carpenters and effectively translates elaborate plans into gorgeous homes. Over the past 20+ years, Brian has managed hundreds of projects ranging from additions and renovations to complex custom homes and cottages.
Clients appreciate Brian’s vast knowledge and attention to the finest of details.

“Brian was hands on and always receptive to our needs even making suggestions that we had not thought of that were important.”

Julia Harrison – Business Manager.
With a strong background in the corporate world and a shared passion for Muskoka, Julia manages the business with Brian. She is responsible for the management of financial and operational elements of the company. She also oversees the marketing/promotion of McAulay Construction and actively engages with customers who are happy to provide 5 STAR customer reviews– resulting in “best in class” industry awards. Together with Brian, Julia is ensuring that their next generation of McAulays will embrace the family values of honest and hard work and an enthusiasm for summers on the lake!

Mark McAulay – Builder.
Mark is an accomplished carpenter. Like Brian, he has been working with Glen for over 15 years and has extensive experience and knowledge in the building industry. Mark is an enthusiastic Muskokan, and is well known and liked by the community, both on and off the Lake.

“…your crew are the epitome of professionals.”
