Who We Are

Design-Build Team Transforming How You Live

ARTium Design Build was founded in 1999 with one simple goal: to renovate Ottawa homes the way they deserve.

We design around how you actually live, build lasting spaces, and manage your project with clear communication and professionalism so you’re never left guessing.

Over the last 25+ years, we have designed and built kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and full home renovations, always with one focus: helping people love where they live.

In 2025, Kaylie Chamberlin took over ARTium Design Build. Kaylie is not new to the industry — her journey in the trades started almost at birth. Her parents owned and operated a plumbing and heating company for over 30 years. She fell in love with the design and build process when she renovated her very first home.

“When the opportunity arose to blend my professional expertise of fostering relationships with my love for design, I knew this acquisition was a perfect fit.” — Kaylie Chamberlin, Owner

Today, ARTium is focused on exactly what it has always been focused on — but with Kaylie’s direction.

You’ll work directly with designers who ask real questions before they draw anything. You’ll know what things cost before anything starts. And when it’s done, you’ll have a space that actually fits your life — not just how they look in a photo.

What Makes Us Different

We take absolute accountability

Ottawa has no shortage of contractors. Finding one who handles design and construction together — and takes full ownership of both — is harder than it should be.

Licensed & Insured

One team, start to finish

Our designers and builders work together from day one. No handoffs. No “that’s not our department.” One team, one phone number, one person to call when you have a question.
Licensed & Insured

We listen before we draw

Before we pick up a pencil, we want to know what’s frustrating you about your space right now. The design comes from that conversation — not from a template.
Licensed & Insured

No bill shock

A detailed, itemized proposal before anything starts. And your own BuilderTrend portal throughout — so you always know exactly where things stand.

What Happens After You Call Us

We make the next steps clear.

A lot of people put off calling a renovation company because they don’t know what they’re walking into.
Here’s exactly what to expect.

STEP

01

We come to you

A free consultation at your home. We look at the space, listen to what’s not working, and talk honestly about what’s possible. No pitch, no pressure.

STEP

02

You see it before we build it

Our designers create layouts, material options, and 3D renderings. You know exactly what you’re getting — before a single wall comes down.

STEP

03

We build it & keep you in the loop

Our team does the work. You follow along in your BuilderTrend portal — photos, updates, timeline — any time you want to check in.

STEP

04

We don’t leave until it’s right

A full walkthrough together at the end. Everything backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty.
