Mike has been in the construction industry for over 20 years helping clients build “what they need when they need it.” Since then, he’s navigated his way through the electrical field, ascending from Apprentice and Foreman to Master Electrician before stepping into his steel-toed boots as an expert home builder in the GTA area. Mike loves building homes for families and sharing his vision and expertise so that they can enjoy their home for years to come.

With over 20 years of experience in the building and renovation industry, I bring a deep understanding of both design and construction. My career began with an architectural background, which laid the foundation for a detail-oriented and design-focused approach to building. As the owner and operator of Belcon Construction Co .,I led a wide range of residential and commercial projects, gaining hands-on experience in every facet of the construction process from an early age.

This comprehensive, ground-up knowledge has allowed me to successfully manage projects of all scales with confidence and precision. Today, I’m proud to be a Partner with Alair Homes King and North York, where I continue to deliver exceptional results through a client-focused, transparent, and collaborative approach.
