The process of building a custom home in Edmonton

Building a custom home is an exciting and rewarding experience that requires careful planning and execution. At Timberstone Builders, we take pride in our custom home-building process that ensures every step of the way is thoughtfully considered and executed to meet your expectations.

Here are the six key steps we follow in our custom home-building process:


1. Lot Selection

The first step in building your custom home is selecting the perfect lot in your desired community. We work with you to search for the best piece of land that meets your needs and budget. We’ll set up a meeting on your purchased or prospective land to discuss building options that will optimize and complement the space.

2. Architectural Design

Once we have the perfect lot, we will work with our key group of trusted and experienced architects and designers to create a custom design that meets your personal vision. We specialize in everything from contemporary to modern and traditional design, and will suggest an appropriate design specialist based on your preferences. If you’ve already had your plans designed, we will review your plans with you and offer suggestions where required.

3. Budget & Scope

At Timberstone Builders, we understand the importance of transparency and budget management in the custom home building process. We will provide a detailed budget forecast prior to initiating the build and work with you to solidify the investments to ensure that the build meets your expectations and stays within your budget. We maintain a transparent building process throughout the build and provide you with a monthly ledger detailing expenditures.

4. Construction

Our site supervisors and project managers work closely with you on a day-to-day basis. They are responsible for site safety, scheduling of trades, ordering supplies, and addressing client questions and concerns. Each build requires submission to the given local municipality in which the project is located, for a development permit that will be provided by your plans designer or architect. We take care of the submission process and ensure that all necessary permits are obtained.

5. Project Completion

At Timberstone Builders, customer satisfaction and the security of our customers’ investments are of great importance to us. We offer one of the most competitive warranty programs in the industry and provide ongoing service and support even after the build is complete.

6. Follow-Up

After everything is complete, we’ll follow up with you to see how we did. Your overall satisfaction with the service we provide is our number one priority. We always look for feedback to improve and exceed every expectation of our valued clients.
