Do you build infill homes?

Yes! We will work with you and the city to ensure your infill home meets the specifications of the neighbourhood. Our in-house professional design team has reviewed the residential infill guidelines and zoning bylaws in Edmonton and other municipalities, and will assess your property to determine what is possible to ensure compliance. Where feasible, we will help to subdivide the lot and co-develop with the lot owner. We take the time to meet with your neighbours before we start building. Neighbours are more patient when they are aware of what is happening. This is your community, and as respectful members, we know the value of maintaining great relationships. Our vision is to build on the strength of your community, so we donate to Community Leagues in the neighbourhoods we build in.

Where do you build?

Where feasible, we will work with developers to build in the neighbourhood you choose. That includes building infill homes. We also build cabins and have some innovative solutions to a recreation property's unique storage needs. Contact us for more information. We are approved by Canada Lands Corporation to build in Village at Griesbach, which features an innovative 'urban village' design, bringing places to live, work and play together. MAP?
