About MAE

Thoughtfully planned.
Built with purpose.

A personal home begins with thoughtful planning. We connect your priorities with building science, skilled construction and attention to the details behind the finishes.

What we stand for is easier to measure than to describe.

A custom home is a personal undertaking. Our role is to connect your priorities with the decisions that shape the finished home: a considered plan, clear budget discussions, coordinated construction and documentation of the work behind the finishes.

What we stand for

Three commitments, shown on every build.

01

Building science in every decision

Water, air, and soil gas are engineered as one system before construction begins. The science is not a feature. It is the method.

Verification with a defined scope

Testing and documentation are agreed for each project. They may include concrete testing, airtightness, indoor-air and radon testing. Embedded monitoring is available on select projects, with the applicable records handed to the owner.

Real numbers early

Discuss the working budget early, make assumptions and allowances visible, and update the figures as design, site information and selections develop.

The standard, in the finish

The same rigour above grade.

Experience

Decades of building, across more than one discipline.

MAE brings decades of collective experience across commercial, multifamily, and custom residential construction. That background informs our approach to trade coordination, documentation and project controls, alongside the attention a personal home requires.

Our mission

To shape a better future for the way we build and live—setting a standard that reaches beyond the homes we create.

MAE is a Calgary company focused on durable materials, coordinated building systems and considered spaces. The aim is a home that serves daily life well, with records that help its owners understand how it was built.

Proof in the paperwork.
