About us
Since it's creation in 1985 by Gilles Desjardins, Brigil continues to make a vital contribution to the local economy. We have built 10,000 homes for people who envision a better lifestyle. Over the years, as we've helped entire generations find homes, Brigil communities have become some of the National Capital Region’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Today, we are focusing on tomorrow’s families.
Our mission
Just like you and your family, we too are growing. Thousands of families trust us with one of their biggest life decisions, which is a source of enormous pride for Brigil Construction. "Proud to build a better quality of life" is not just our motto, it is the backbone of our commitment in helping you benefit from our experience and expertise.
Our vision
The best way for us to achieve and maintain excellence is by listening to you. Brigil strives to be the best by fostering innovation and performance-based relationships with our employees, suppliers and subcontractors.
Founder Message
As Brigil's President and Founder, as well as a husband and father, I understand what the purchase of your home means to you. That is why we hire the best housing representatives in the industry. Their job is to listen, understand, and put your needs first. We ensure that your new home reflects all of your desires.
Together, we make your dreams come true!

President and Founder
ENVIRONMENT
Talking about the environment is good but acting is better. Thus, Brigil addresses the sensitive issue of environmental protection in its many residential projects. Being one of the largest residential builders in the National Capital Region implies major responsibilities to the community, including acting as leader in sustainable development.
This commitment translates into a daily concern to surpass municipal and provincial standards and is embodied by a policy of integrating residential projects into their existing physical environments, rather than brutally adapting natural environments to fit construction requirements.
