Custom home construction involves many complex variables. Making informed decisions on developing a suitable design, selecting the right materials and keeping on budget can be challenging for most clients. Edmonton Home Builders can help you with every stage of the building process, including hiring the right subcontractors and trades. We can manage your custom home project from start to finish.

New Home Construction

Edmonton Home Builders is experienced in working on custom home projects of various types and sizes. Homes have become more complex over the years and building code requirements more stringent. This has affected the timeframe it takes to obtain building permits in the Edmonton area.

Many of our customers have found that it is helpful to understand the building process before construction begins. Edmonton Home Builders gives you realistic expectations and can help you make informed decisions about what is involved in construction in the following areas:

• Site specific design and material selection
• Budget preparation
• Building permits and approvals
• Site preparation and improvement
• Installation of foundations
• Completing the basic structure of the home
• Finishing the interior of the home

The cost to complete your home to occupancy will be dependent on the size, location and complexity of the project. The time taken, availability and quality of trades-people used will affect the labor component. The reality is that it is more important to consider the value of work being done than simply choosing trades based on a low hourly rate.

Choosing the right people can save on a lot of labor cost and fixing problems later on. Generally the use of higher quality material gives you a better finished result, less waste and lower maintenance as well as substantial cost savings during construction. Edmonton Home Builders uses best construction practices in all of their projects.

Home Additions

A new addition may be just what it takes to accommodate a changing family or special lifestyle needs. You can expand a kitchen, add a bathroom or change your existing home into the home of your dreams. Whatever you have in mind, Edmonton Home Builders can help.

As with any construction project, an addition to your home requires careful planning. Before you decide to go ahead with the project, it is important to clearly identify the features you want. Just as important is a thorough inspection of the current structure so that any existing problems can be corrected at the same time.

The key challenge is to make sure that your addition meets your living requirements and looks like an integral part of the existing home. You will likely need help from a professional designer who can take your ideas and prepare blueprints that will meet structural and permitting requirements.

At Edmonton Home Builders, we have the experience to assemble the resources needed and perform the work to professional standards.

Home Renovations

Construction techniques for new homes have changed rapidly. Most of these improved techniques also apply to renovations. This is why it is important to select the right materials and professional builders, just as if you were building a new home.

Edmonton Home Builders can help you plan ahead before the actual renovation takes place. The idea is to make it look better, work better, last longer and be more comfortable. Before renovating, it's important to assess the condition of your home to determine if there are any significant underlying problems that must be addressed before or during your planned renovation project. Consideration should be given to:

• Various elements of the home to be upgraded
• A look at lifestyle needs and comforts
• Replacement of inefficient or worn building components

A professional renovation makes your home more attractive as well as safer, more efficient and more durable. We can give you a realistic estimate and perform the work to meet building codes. We can also help you access professional designers if required.

Working with Edmonton Home Builders gives you the assurance that you are getting someone with experience in the Edmonton area.

Our Expertise

Edmonton Home Builders has many years of experience in the Edmonton area, which allows us to successfully complete any complex home construction project. Our customers have relied on our expertise to build a new home or make a major addition to their existing home.

Construction is largely a sequential process. A variety of professional resources with a wide range of expertise is needed to complete a project successfully. They need to be available at the right time and be able to work together at different stages of the project. For example, when building components or manpower is not available at the jobsite when needed, it will cause delays. Edmonton Home Builders has the expertise to make the construction process go more smoothly and efficiently.

Shortcuts on material and labor will affect the outcome of the entire project. The cost to fix problems caused by the use of substandard materials or incorrect application can be substantial. Using the right materials and hiring the right expertise means a much better finished result and more value in your home.

Some of the more crucial areas where expertise is needed include:

• Obtaining permits and approvals
• Design and material selection
• Structural load bearing and other engineering requirements
• Assembling the right human resources
• Constructing the home to meet building code standards
• Controlling and managing the project

In the construction of custom homes and major additions, all projects have different challenges. Edmonton Home Builders understands that the key to a successful outcome is to finalize your design and select the right materials before work starts.

Working with Edmonton Home Builders gives you the confidence that your project will go smoothly.

Design and Construction Options

Edmonton Home Builders specializes in more complex structures, such as post and beam, timber-frame or log homes. These kinds of homes use different structural techniques to support the roof and floors and require foundations that are engineered to meet load bearing points.

Although these structures are more costly to build than conventional homes, you can incorporate open plan living, vaulted ceilings and large expanses of glass to maximize the use of natural light. They also generally have a much higher appraised value. We can work with your designer or architect to help you choose the right kind of design and materials to fit your requirements.

Building different types of custom homes takes special construction expertise. Edmonton Home Builders uses the best construction practices whether we are building a conventional or more sophisticated structure. This is why we recommend the use of higher quality building materials, which give you a much better finished result.
