Infills

Inner-city lots, rebuilt properly.

Demolition, permits, design and construction handled together — modern, efficient homes on Calgary’s established inner-city lots.

Residential service

The lot is the hard part. We handle it.

Infill projects are won and lost on zoning, setbacks and servicing. We assess the lot before you buy or build, drive the development permit, and manage demolition through to keys — with neighbours, the city and your budget all kept in the loop.

  • Lot assessment, zoning and setback review
  • Demolition, abatement and site servicing
  • Development and building permits
  • Design coordination and full construction

What's included

What an infill build includes.

Every project is scoped and priced before we start.

Lot assessment

Zoning, grade, servicing and sun angles reviewed up front.

Demolition

Abatement, disconnection and safe removal handled cleanly.

Permits

Development permit strategy and building permit issuance.

Design

Architecture and interiors coordinated to the lot and budget.

Construction

Foundation to finishes with weekly updates and a clean site.

Handover

Warranty walkthrough, documents and keys.

How it runs

How the work runs.

Walkthrough and brief

We see the space, hear what you want and tell you honestly what is realistic for the budget you have in mind.

Design and selections

Drawings, materials and finishes agreed and priced before demolition — not chosen under pressure halfway through.

Permits and schedule

Permits submitted and followed through, trades booked in the order the build actually needs them.

Build, clean

Dust barriers, floor protection and a swept site every night, because you are usually still living in the house.

Walkthrough and warranty

We walk it with you, fix the list, and hand over the warranty paperwork. Your sign-off is what ends the job.

Assess the lot first

Not every inner-city lot is worth what it is being sold for.

Two lots on the same street can carry completely different projects. Land use district, lot width, setbacks, height limits and the parcel coverage decide what can actually be built, and a mature tree, a rear lane, a utility right-of-way or a deep sewer connection can each move the budget by tens of thousands.

We assess a lot before you buy — what it permits, what it will cost to service, and what the realistic build looks like — so you are bidding on a number rather than a hope.

  • Land use district, setbacks, height and parcel coverage
  • Demolition, asbestos survey and disconnection of existing services
  • Servicing depth, sewer connections and utility relocations
  • Development permit timelines and the neighbour notification period

Common questions

Questions we get asked most.

Anything not covered here, just ask on the call.

How long does an infill take?

Twelve to eighteen months from first drawings to keys is typical, and the development permit is usually the longest single wait — including the appeal period, which cannot be shortened. Construction itself is normally eight to twelve months.

Can you help before we buy the lot?

That is the most useful point to involve us. A pre-purchase assessment tells you what the parcel actually permits and what servicing it will need, which is exactly the information that decides whether the price makes sense.

Do you handle demolition of the existing house?

Yes — hazardous materials survey, abatement where needed, utility disconnections, the demolition permit and the removal itself, all inside the same contract as the build.

Can you build a legal suite into an infill?

Often, and it is far cheaper designed in from the start than added later. Whether it is permitted depends on the land use district and the parking that comes with it, which we check during the lot assessment.
