NOVEMBER 2021 feet. Within that niche, Nicholas believes clients choose Creation Homes for their personal service. “We don’t build a lot of homes,” Nicholas explains. “We build maybe two or three per year, so we focus intently on every project and every client. We take a very personalized approach to building. We’re very hands-on.” “We understand that a house is a big expense,” he adds. It’s very important to the people we’re building it for. We take that responsibility very seriously. We make sure they are getting a product that they are going to be satisfied with for a long time.” Creation Homes sometimes works with clients who bring their own plans to the table, but they also have a portfolio of classic and premium designs for customers to choose from. Most of the time, clients start with one of those plans and then make modifications to best suit their individual lifestyles and needs. By the end of the process, Nicholas says their homes often “feel like custom homes” – but without the expense of designing a new home from scratch. Creation Homes is also set apart by their ability to deliver efficiency for value. When they are building a net zero home, the company starts with a pre-designed and engineered shell that was designed in collaboration with an energy advisor. According to Nicholas, that shell was tested in the Yukon against five other shells, and it was determined to offer the best durability for the best price. “Performance-wise, that shell offers the most bang for your buck,” Nicholas says. “The great thing is that it can be applied to any of our models. It’s not attached to a specific design or orientation. Any time we need to achieve net-zero, or get close to net-zero, we have a package that’s ready to go.”
