The Construction Source

MAY 2021 at the Canadian Home Builders Association, Infill Development in Edmonton Association (IDEA), and the Edmonton Infill Industry Working Group. The company has also become well known – Timber Haus is now recognized as one of Edmonton’s premier builders of custom home, infill, and garden suites. Those projects can range greatly in size and value, from garden suites starting at about $220,000 to large homes valued upwards of $1.5 million. According to Don and John, no matter their budget, those clients choose Timber Haus because of their efficiency – which stems from their background at Lincolnberg. “There are other companies that have been building in mature neighbourhood for longer than we have, but they can’t build as quickly as we do,” John says. “That’s because of our background. That’s because we put in our time in suburbia.” “There is some good that comes from building the same house over and over again,” he explains. “You get to dial your systems in. You get to make mistakes and learn how to correct them. You become very efficient at building.” “We were able to build our first infill in less than six months,” he recalls. “Everyone was blown away by that. Established infill builders usually take over a year to build their houses.” Other builders also take longer to design their houses, typically because they have to outsource their drafting. Timber Haus has that capability in house. “We can turn around a set of black-line drawings within a week,” Don says. “With other builders, it’ll be three weeks, and thenwhen you start making changes, it becomes months. We can be a lot faster, a lot more efficient, while making no sacrifices to quality or attention to detail.”
