Northern Heritage Builders is a custom home builder based in Whitefish, MT. As an exclusive builder, that means clients work directly with our owner and founder, Conor Watson. Conor is hands on through the entire process— from initial concept to the installation of finishes. We’ve built a business and a reputation on quality and standards. Our commitment to excellence in everything we do—from design, materials, equipment, employees and craftsmanship—results in an extraordinary home that we’re proud to have built and you’ll love living in.
ABOUT THE BUILDER
As a third-generation carpenter, Conor Watson learned the craft at an early age. That passion for building led Conor to a career mastering all aspects of home building. From running a large framing company building some of the most complicated and intricate designs his architectural partners could conjure, to progressing to building start-to-finish.
Conor holds himself and his team to the highest standards and has the results and reputation to match. It’s not about doing things the way everyone else is doing them or in a way that’s “good enough”. Conor holds a builder’s license that complies with the International Residential Building Codes and—while not required in Montana—travels to the east coast to renew and maintain his license.
Conor started Northern Heritage because of his passion for the build. The business allows Conor to build the projects he wants in the way he wants to build them—to be able to give each project and client the focus and attention they deserve. Our priority is to maintain the quality and standards expected from a Northern Heritage home—not to see how many projects we can take on at once.
Like you, we believe that your home is a significant investment in your life, your family and your future. Our mission is to be part of your heritage by building a property that becomes part of your legacy.
Conor Watson, Proud owner and founder of Northern Heritage Builders
