What we build

Custom acreage homes are the heart of our work. We also build garages, shops and outbuildings to match the home, and take on a limited number of renovations, with the same care and the same straight talk about cost.

Custom homes

Custom acreage homes

A home on acreage starts with the land: how the ground lies, where the light comes from and what you want to look out on. We plan the home around your property, your budget and the way you live.

As a boutique builder and general contractor, we take on a limited number of homes each year. Jake stays close to every one, from the first conversation through design, permits and construction to the final walkthrough. We manage the trades and suppliers, and keep you informed along the way.

How a custom build comes together

1

Consultation

Your goals, your land and your budget, and an honest read on what fits.

2

Design

Layout, style and selections worked out before construction starts.

3

Permits and approvals

We take care of the approvals your build needs.

4

Construction

We manage the trades and the schedule, and keep you up to date.

5

Final walkthrough

We walk through the finished home with you before you move in.

What drives the cost of a custom home

We won't put a number on a page before we know your land and your plans. What we can tell you is what moves the price, so the first conversation is a useful one.

The land

Access, slope and where the home can sit on the lot. Some sites need much more work than others before the foundation goes in.

Servicing

Bringing in a well, septic, power and road access is part of building on acreage, and it's easy to underestimate.

Size and complexity

A bigger home costs more, but shape matters too. Complex rooflines, long spans and custom details add time, materials and skilled labour.

Finishes

Cabinetry, flooring, windows and fixtures can move the total more than people expect. Choosing early keeps the budget well defined.

Timelines

Permits, seasons and trade availability set the pace. A realistic schedule, planned upfront, helps protect the budget.

Renovations

Renovations, with the same care

In addition to custom homes, we take on a limited number of renovations in Calgary and area. You get the same attention to detail and the same straight answers on cost as you would with a new home.

Kitchens

New layouts, custom cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting and backsplashes, planned around how you cook and gather.

Bathrooms

From ensuites to powder rooms: vanities, showers and tubs, tile, lighting and fixtures.

Basements

Family rooms, guest suites, home offices and more, with careful attention to insulation, waterproofing, lighting and flooring.

Exteriors

Porches, decks, patios, roofing and fencing that improve how your home looks and how you use it.

Every renovation starts the same way: a frank conversation about what you want, what your home needs and what it will take.

Garages, shops and outbuildings

Built to belong with the home

On an acreage, the garage and shop are part of the property, not an afterthought. We build detached garages, shops and outbuildings designed to match the home, with the same framing, finishes and attention to detail we bring to every house.

Planning one alongside a new home, or adding to the property you have? We'll talk through size, placement and finishes, and what each of them means for the cost.
