It’s not just what we do, it’s how we do it.
Every home we build follows a clear, collaborative process. You’ll always know what’s next, what’s happening now, and when key milestones are reached. This keeps the project on time, on budget, and true to your vision.
The architecture of experience.
STEP 01
Initial Consultation
Share your vision, priorities, and preferred approach — whether Cost Plus or Fixed Price. We’ll set the stage for a place you’ll love coming back to, whether it’s your forever home or an investment project. Every choice is made with a long term return in mind — which includes your peace of mind.
STEP 02
Site & Design
Show us your ideal lot — or let us help you find it — and collaborate with our trusted architects and designers to create a home that reflects your style and surroundings. From sweeping sight lines to the smallest details, every element is crafted with intention. Already have a designer or architect you love? We’re always happy to collaborate.
STEP 03
Scope & Budget
We prepare a detailed scope of work, realistic timelines, and a transparent budget so you know exactly what allowances are included. No guesswork, no hidden costs — just the confidence to move forward knowing your vision and investment are in are in the right hands.
STEP 04
Construction
Watch your home take shape with exceptional artistry and attentive project management at every stage. We schedule regular walkthroughs so you can experience the progress firsthand and see your ideas becoming reality.
STEP 05

Frequently Asked Questions
GOT A QUESTION?
If you’re wondering it, chances are high that so has someone else! So we’ve compiled a list of the most common questions our clients have here.
-
Timelines vary based on the complexity of your home, but from initial design to move-in, most custom new build projects take 12–18 months. We’ll give you a clear schedule upfront and keep you updated at every stage.
-
The ‘cost per square foot’ rule doesn’t really apply to custom luxury homes, since every build is unique. Instead, we work with you early on to set a realistic budget. Our pricing is fully transparent, so you’ll always know where your money is going—and where you can choose to save or splurge.
-
A Fixed Price contract locks in your total cost, with changes only if you adjust the scope or selections.
A Cost Plus contract charges actual material and labor costs plus a builder’s fee — offering more flexibility, but less price certainty.
We can help you decide which option best suits your goals.
-
Not at all! We will happily work with your preferred designer or architect, or can connect you with one of our trusted partners to create a design from scratch. At Cascade we are a one stop shop - from beginning to end.
-
Yes, you can — but changes during construction often affect cost and timeline. We’ll guide you through the process and ensure every change is documented and approved before moving forward.
-
We only work with trusted trades and suppliers, and inspect each stage of the build for quality. You’re also invited to monthly site walk-throughs, so you can see your homes progress firsthand and avoid any surprises at the end.
We specialize in building custom luxury homes across Alberta and British Columbia.
