In 1989, two men made the commitment to pursue a dream they both shared—to create and bring to fruition a new home building company. David Hill and Bobby Bhoola were a perfect pairing for this enterprise, with extensive expertise in home building and land and commercial development.

The partners shared a goal which has become the cornerstone of Ballantry Homes to build with the finest quality in design, materials, construction and to offer exceptional customer service.

Fast forward to today and more than a quarter century later, and Ballantry Homes and its founding partners, has become a notable full-service builder and land developer. In doing so Ballantry has consistently and successfully adhered to the original goal of building excellence, now branded as the builder who “Builds Dreams”.

Over the past 32 years, Ballantry has constructed more than 10,000 homes in more than 35 communities across the GTA.

A construction management company established by a collection of highly respected, senior industry professionals with the common goal of significantly improving the way construction projects are delivered.

Prior to forming Gillam Group, the company’s founders enjoyed successful careers with leading national general contractors in southern Ontario, gaining extensive experience managing large, complex, and award-winning projects. Brings exceptional capability and sophistication to projects in the ICI and residential construction sectors.

Gillam’s involvement with public-private partnership projects has greatly informed their approach; in particular, the importance of using the pre-construction period to plan the work efficiently and mitigate risks.
