Five things to confirm with any firm, on this list or not, before you sign. The rules below are Alberta's and Edmonton's.
Ask the firm for a clearance letter from WCB-Alberta, which confirms it is registered for workers' compensation and its account is in good standing. WCB-Alberta advises getting one before the firm starts and again before the final payment, because the hiring party can end up owing premiums on an account that is not in good standing.
Ask for a certificate of insurance that names the firm and shows commercial general liability coverage in force for the dates of your job, and check that the subcontractors it brings in are covered too.
Building permits for homes in Edmonton come from the City of Edmonton, and a new house needs one before construction starts. Agree in writing who applies for the permit and books the inspections.
Get the scope of work, the payment schedule tied to stages of the work, start and finish dates, how changes are agreed and priced, and who handles permits and cleanup, all in one signed contract before any work starts.
A new house in Alberta must be built by a licensed residential builder and carry warranty coverage under the New Home Buyer Protection Act: at least one year on materials and labour, two years on the delivery and distribution systems, five years on the building envelope and ten years on the structure.
The 10 firms on this list fall into 2 groups, read from what each firm's own site says it does and how it is listed on Google.
Home builders build new houses as their main work, and some take on additions and major renovations too.
Design-build firms design the project and build it under one contract, so one firm answers for the drawings and the work.
A custom builder builds one home to your plans, on your lot or a lot you choose together. A production builder sells homes from a set range of plans in its own developments, with a fixed list of options and upgrades.
In British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, new homes must carry third-party home warranty coverage, and the builder registers each home before construction starts. Ask the builder which warranty provider covers its homes and what the coverage includes.
Either can work. Many custom builders offer design and build under one contract, with a designer or architect on their team. Others build to plans you bring from an independent architect. Ask to see finished homes built from both routes.
Ask to walk through homes it has finished and to speak with past clients, which warranty provider covers its homes, who will design the house, how changes are handled once building starts, and who applies for the permit and books the inspections.
Ask the firm for a clearance letter from WCB-Alberta. WCB-Alberta advises getting one before the firm starts and again before the final payment, because the hiring party can end up owing premiums on an account that is not in good standing.
Building permits for homes in Edmonton come from the City of Edmonton. For custom home building, a new house needs one before construction starts. Many firms apply for the permit as part of the job, so agree who does it before you sign.
Every stage of a custom home build in order, with the months each takes, the permits and inspections that gate it, how the builder is paid and the warranty rules in Ontario, BC and Alberta.
How fixed-price, cost-plus and construction management contracts work for a custom home or a large renovation, what the fee costs, and the fine print to ask for.
Per-square-foot ranges by province and city, four house sizes worked out, and every cost that sits outside the per-foot price.
