A backyard garage suite built as part of the homeowner's estate planning: a double garage below, a one-bedroom suite with its own balcony above. Overhead power lines crossing the lot called for a few unusual angles.
Vaulted ceilings and extra windows pull daylight deep into a compact footprint.
Its own balcony above street level, so the outdoor space is never shared.
Smart design turns a small kitchen into something functional and completely inviting.
We start with a kitchen-table chat about how you live—family, storage, timing, budget—then walk the site. Let’s all get on the same page about your needs, wants, goals and maybe even a few luxury items? From there, we sketch ideas, set priorities and allowances, and provide a realistic first range and timeline tailored to your property.
We turn the concept into a detailed scope: drawings, specifications, allowances, and milestone schedule. Long-lead items are chosen early to avoid delays. You’ll review pricing in as much detail as you prefer, ask questions, and sign when it feels right. Deposits secure materials; change orders are priced before work shifts—no surprises later.
Our pre-construction contract provides funding to coordinate with the municipality for any permits required. This allows homeowners to save/invest their capital until permits are approved and construction is beginning. Sometimes it allows for homeowners to coordinate their financing options at the same time as the permit process. No one controls each municipality’s timelines, but we’ll keep you updated every step of the way until that precious approval stamp is received!
We encourage weekly feedback, questions and communication. Changed your mind about something? Just let us know and we’ll figure out the how, the timing, and the pricing, so you can proceed with confidence.
We walk the home together, create a punch list, and finish the small stuff quickly. You’ll get manuals, labeled shutoffs, and maintenance tips. Our two-year warranty starts at completion, and we’re nearby for questions or tweaks. For new home construction, the Alberta New Home Warranty is registered. The goal is simple: a house that lives easy from day one.
