After 25 years of designing and building beautiful spaces and establishing a strong reputation for quality, service, and a culture rooted in integrity and care, Norm is announcing his retirement.
“It’s been an unforgettable journey—one built on hard work, loyal clients, and a dedicated team who made it all possible. As I close this chapter, I do so with immense pride and gratitude,” Norm shared.
The new owner of ARTium Design Build is Kaylie Chamberlin who brings fresh energy and a deep respect for the values that have defined ARTium. She shares the company’s passion for thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and outstanding client service.
“With her leadership and our dedicated team, I’m confident that ARTium’s legacy will not only continue, but will grow even stronger,” Norm added.
“Not everyone can boast about this origin, but my journey in the trades began at birth! My parents owned and operated a Plumbing & Heating company for over 30 years,” Kaylie said in a statement. “The HVAC industry provided me with numerous remarkable opportunities, an extensive network of contacts, and a deep respect for all the entrepreneurs I encountered along the way.
“Although my roots are within the HVAC industry, my true passion resides in the renovation space. I fell in love with the design and build process many years ago when I renovated my first home.
“When the opportunity arose to blend my professional expertise of fostering relationships and providing exceptional customer service with my love for design, I knew this acquisition was a perfect fit. I am genuinely thrilled and deeply honoured to advance the legacy Norm has established through ARTium and Just Basements over the past 25 years. The culture of this company is reminiscent of the family-operated business I was raised in, and I’m eager to call this new venture home.”
