Effect Home Builders

EFFECT HOME BUI LDERS Moving forward, Effect Home Builders aims to keep making the case for environmental sustainability in home building. Several of their recent projects already push those boundaries. For example, their 2020 BILD Alberta award-winning home was ‘net-zero,’ producing all the energy needed for the home, while also powering two electric cars. Effect’s own office, meanwhile, is completely disconnected from the electrical grid. They produce all their own heat and electricity on site using solar batteries and co-gen units to supplement when there is not enough solar. Those are the kind of results they want to deliver for clients. As far as the size of their company is concerned, Les says that they want to grow “incrementally,” and mostly within the space they already operate. They love working closely with clients to design and build unique, energy-efficient, long-lasting custom homes.

Our plan is to continue to build on that.” Building their reputation
