Custom infill

New builds on Edmonton mature-core lots. Built to the street, not off a template. Two-and-a-half storeys, elevator options, legal secondary suite as standard.

See Yogi's House, Rio Terrace

Whole-house renovation

Bungalows and older two-storeys taken back to studs where the layout needs it. Ceilings lifted, footprints extended, envelope tightened, everything on new mechanical.

See Rio Terrace bungalow

Basement suite conversion

Fully-permitted secondary suites in the basement or as a two-unit conversion. Separate entry, egress, fire separation and mechanical, handled from the first design meeting.

How the work runs

Five stages, one team. The same people are on site walk day and handover day.

Site walk

Free thirty minutes on the lot or in the house. We look at the sun path, the mature trees, the neighbours and the front-porch line before anyone talks numbers.

Design

Plans developed against the site. Range estimate at the site walk, firm number once the design lands.

Permits

Design and permits together typically take three to four months. We pull the permits, coordinate the plans review, handle revisions.

Build

Framing through finish in-house. The build itself runs seven to ten months depending on scope, weather and finish level. No subcontractor churn, no dropped handoffs.

Handover

The same people who quoted the project walk you through it on handover day. Warranty, certificates, care notes, and a call in three months to check on anything.

Common questions

How long does an Edmonton infill build take?

From accepted design to keys, plan on 10 to 14 months. Design and permits typically take 3 to 4 months; the build itself runs 7 to 10 depending on scope, weather and finish level. You get a firm schedule at contract signing.

What does a NOYCE infill cost?

Turnkey infills on a standard 33-foot lot generally start around $700k for a three-bed, two-and-a-half-bath with a legal secondary suite. Custom finishes, larger footprints and premium mature neighbourhoods push it up from there. Site walks include a range estimate; a firm number comes with the design.

Can you include a legal secondary suite in the basement?

Yes. Most of our infills include a fully-permitted secondary suite. It typically adds $1,200 to $1,700 a month in rental income in the mature core, or house-hacks the mortgage. We handle the separate entry, egress, fire separation and mechanical requirements from the first design meeting.

Are you licensed, bonded and insured?

Yes. We are a licensed prepaid contractor with Service Alberta, carry $5M general liability insurance and WCB coverage. Every home is enrolled under the mandatory Alberta New Home Warranty program. Certificates are available on request.
