Custom Home Builds in Calgary

Architect-led new builds where every layout, finish, and trade is selected with your design team — Calgary custom homes built to last.

Overview

Calgary’s custom home builds contractor

A Calgary custom home is the longest, most expensive renovation-class project most homeowners ever commission — and the one with the most upside when it’s done right. We partner with your architect or bring in an in-house design team to draft, permit, and build new homes from foundation to handover.

Custom builds in Calgary involve a long pre-construction phase: lot survey, real property report, soil test, geotech if needed, structural engineering, mechanical and electrical schematic design, permit submission to development and building services. We package the entire pre-con phase as a fixed-fee design contract so you know what you’re paying before the dig starts.

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered

How much does a custom home cost to build in Calgary?

Calgary custom builds typically run $400–$800 per square foot of finished space, depending on finish level, lot conditions, and complexity. A 3,000 sq ft custom home lands in the $1.2M–$2.4M range, plus the cost of land.

How long does a custom home take to build?

Allow 4–7 months of pre-construction (drawings, permits, contracts) plus 9–14 months of construction. Custom builds with complex structural or sloped lots trend toward the upper end.

Do I have to use your architect or can I bring my own?

Bring your own. We work with several Calgary architecture firms regularly and have an in-house design team for clients who’d rather have one contract from concept to handover.

Are your custom builds covered by warranty?

Yes — every new build is registered under the Alberta New Home Warranty Program: 1 year labour and materials, 2 years delivery and distribution, 5 years building envelope, 10 years structural defects.

Can you build on a sloped or sub-divided infill lot?

Yes — most of our Calgary custom builds are inner-city infill on tight lots with grade challenges. We coordinate the geotech, foundation engineering, and party-wall details when required.
