Dueck Builders is a familyowned-and-operated home builder committed to designing and delivering homes that are elegant, energy-efficient, and cost-effective. Owners Cal Dueck and Josh Friesen are both experienced industry professionals with a passion for building healthy, sustainable homes that meet the needs and exceed the expectations of their customers. Since joining forces in 2016, the pair has forged Dueck Builders into one of the most well-known and trusted brands in Winnipeg when it comes to sustainable and highquality custom homes. “We are a customer-centered, custom home builder,” says Cal Dueck. “From humble beginnings in Fort Garry, to mansions in Charleswood, we have made sure that our clients are fully informed on all aspects of the build. Since the very beginning of the company, we have maintained that building healthy, sustainable homes is not only affordable, but also simply the right choice for today’s homeowner.” Cal grew up on a farm in the Arborg area, and as a farmer he learned to “build, maintain, and repair basically anything and everything,” he says. Those skills kept him employed while he pursued a bachelor’s degree in Classics and Philosophy, a master’s degree in Philosophy, and a Doctor of Philosophy. In 2006, he decided to apply his research skills to the science of sustainable and ecofriendly building and began building custom homes in his neighborhood of Fort Garry. “I’ve always had a concern for the environment,” Cal recalls. “When I started building homes and started digging into the science, it seemed like a no-brainer to me. To have a better relationship with the environment meant we needed to have better building practices.” In the beginning, the company was called Dueck Homes. Cal started with a hands-on DUECK BUILDERS
