Become a Build Partner
When we build in the Peterborough and the Kawartha Region, we build with the community, and that means building with you.
Habitat homes are part of the towns and cities they’re constructed in. That’s why we prioritize working with local trades, suppliers, and construction professionals in each community where we break ground. Together, we don’t just build affordable homes, we strengthen local economies, create meaningful partnerships, and help families build stability right here at home.
If you’re in the trades, construction industry, or supply sector, we invite you to become a Habitat Build Partner.
Why Partner With Habitat?
When you support a Habitat build, you’re doing more than completing a project — you’re helping a local family gain stability, security, and a foundation for the future.
Our homes are award winning, thoughtfully designed, built to high quality standards and energy efficient. Most importantly, they are affordable to purchase through our affordable homeownership program.
Every home becomes part of the fabric of the neighbourhood it’s built in.

Build Partner Spotlight
Meet Cabinetree
For 37 years, Cabinetree has been manufacturing right here in Peterborough, relentlessly innovating through investments in people, technology, and equipment to stay competitive while maintaining ethical business practices.
We are so grateful for their support as a build partner. Why do they support Habitat PKR?
“Cabinetree is a company full of Peterborough people working hard and trying to get ahead in the world through diligence and ethical behaviour in all respects. Habitat is offering a way for other Peterborough people to get a ‘leg up’ in home ownership and we want to support that.”
Their team is always first to step forward when projects align with their values, building community, supporting sustainability initiatives, and creating practical, high-quality solutions at reasonable cost.
From a craftsmanship perspective, Cabinetree shares Habitat’s vision:
Practical. High-quality. Built for value.
They recognize that despite their nationwide body of work, they are in a symbiotic relationship with the local community, investing locally simply makes sense.
“Investments in local suppliers and support of local initiatives feels good to us, our families, and our customers. It is selfish really!”
We are proud to build alongside partners like Cabinetree who believe that when local businesses and local families succeed, the entire community benefits.
