About Geertsma Construction
The Geertsma Group of companies originated in the 1960's as Marten Geertsma Masonry, which was incorporated in 1976 as Geertsma Masonry Ltd. As our primary focus of work and expertise continued to evolve, the company was later renamed Geertsma Construction Ltd. in 1985. In 1988, the company was split into three divisions, separating our Home Building, Development, and Construction arms with Geertsma Construction (1988) Ltd. taking on the role as Design/Builder, Project Manager, and General Contractor and Geertsma Homes Ltd. moving ahead in the residential sector.
