CDN Buildings, based in Delhi, Ontario, is a family-owned company founded in 2012 by Bill Dendekker and his two sons, William Dendekker and Joel Dendekker. The company specializes in designing, manufacturing, and installing steel buildings for a variety of applications, including residential, commercial, and agricultural projects. From humble beginnings, they have rapidly grown into a versatile and innovative player in the steel building industry, gaining a reputation for taking on unique and challenging projects while maintaining a strong commitment to customer service. The Dendekker family’s journey into the steel building industry began with a prior business venture, after which they decided to explore the possibilities of the growing steel building market. “We were in another business venture previously,” says Joel, “and after that, we saw an opportunity to get into the steel building market. We liked it, and we had the tooling and equipment to do it, so we started small and grew from there.” This smallscale approach, focusing on carports and small garage kits, allowed the Dendekker family to build a solid foundation for their business. They began by providing customers with the option to either purchase building kits for DIY installation or have their team install the structures. As word spread and demand increased, the company quickly expanded, tackling larger projects and increasing their workforce to accommodate the growing needs of their clients. From these early projects, CDN Buildings steadily grew its portfolio, with the company taking on bigger and more complex projects each year.
