A good builder will work to maximize timeliness, remain communicative, and ensure quality throughout the build. They will be our guide through each phase of the process.

Design

The custom home builder will work with us to coordinate costs and design our ideal home, inside and out. This will likely involve working with an architect, interior designer, and landscape specialists.

Pre-Construction

One of the first steps is selecting location. We can bring our own lot to a builder, or hire a builder who will help us select the perfect neighbourhood and lot on which to build. Either way, our builder is also responsible for determining our new home’s setbacks, or how far away from both the street and our neighbours’ homes our house will be built.

The next step is general permitting, all of which is our builder’s responsibility. They act as liaison with local government to ensure everything with our house and lot is up to code throughout the building process.

Construction

The best new home builders St. Albert will sub-contract or coordinate with their in-house team to lay the foundation and install the framing, roofing, walls, siding, flooring, electric, heat, plumbing, and more. The local code department will search the building site throughout the process for code violations, but our builder should already be one step ahead to ensure us are a satisfied customer—and that everything is up to code before inspection. In short, a good builder will oversee all the teams to ensure the house is completed according to the highest standard of quality as well as the agreed upon timeline and budget.

Post-Construction

After construction is complete, our custom home builder will notify the appropriate city or municipal departments that the home is ready for its final inspection. They will clean the site, secure city inspections, and be ready to hand us the keys to our new custom home.

New home builder St. Albert offers a streamlined construction process and follows a standard development order to design our home while maximizing quality, timeliness, and client communication for an enjoyable building experience.
