Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions for Modern Block Inc.
What kind of building work does Modern Block Inc. do?
Modern Block Inc. specializes in custom homes and large-scale home renovation projects. We help with making the house plans, picking out the inside looks, and checking the land. We also handle the building work and the city paperwork. We work in Calgary, Canmore, and the Foothills. We stay focused on building and do not do yard work or look after buildings once they are finished.
How do you make sure the project does not cost too much?
We use a clear way of tracking money on every project. You get a list of every cost, big or small. We send you updates every month to show how the money is being spent. This helps us find any changes early so there are no scary surprises at the end. We want you to get the best value for the money you spend on your home.
What do you look for when you check a piece of land?
We look at the dirt, the trees, and the city rules for that spot. This is very important for big pieces of land in Calgary or Canmore. We check things like where the water and power will come from. Doing this work first helps us see any problems before we start making the house plans.
Can I use my own person to draw the house plans?
Yes, you can bring your own person to draw the plans or pick one from the group of people we trust. We work with everyone to make sure your ideas come to life perfectly. Our main goal is to build a home that reflects your vision and supports your family's lifestyle.
What parts of Alberta do you work in?
Modern Block Inc. works in Calgary and neighborhoods like Altadore and Britannia. We also go to Canmore, Foothills County, and Rocky View. We know the special rules for building in the city and out on large pieces of land in the countryside.
Do you help with the hard paperwork for the city?
Yes, we handle all the city permits for you. This includes hard jobs like building roads for a new house on a large piece of land. Our team talks to the city and does all the writing. This helps stop delays and keeps the project moving so it finishes on time.
Do you build homes that are good for the earth?
Yes, we care about the planet. We try to make smart choices when we design and build. We can talk about special ways to make your home better for the earth when we first meet. We always follow the local rules for building in a responsible way.
