Your vision.
Built with purpose.

Custom homes, renovations, additions and construction management. Explore the right starting point for your project.

Custom homes

Ground-up custom homes on your land in Calgary, the Bow Valley, and surrounding communities. Custom homes are at the heart of MAE, with the MAE Method guiding each build.

You bring the lot and your ambitions for the home. We carry the building science into the drawings, manage the build to a milestone schedule, and hand over the verification package at completion.

Ground-up construction in Calgary, Cochrane, Bearspaw, Springbank, Elbow Valley, and Rocky View County. Site and soil conditions, design coordination, budget development, permits and engineering, construction management, testing, and documentation are all handled as one scope of work.

Renovations & additions

A well-built renovation should do more than change how a home looks. It should improve how the home functions, performs, and holds up over time.

MAE provides renovation and general contracting services in Calgary, Cochrane, Bearspaw, Springbank, and the surrounding acreage communities. Projects may include whole-home renovations, additions, basement developments, kitchens and bathrooms, structural alterations, building-envelope improvements, window and door replacements, and corrective construction.

Every project begins with a clear scope, realistic budget, coordinated schedule, and an understanding of how the proposed work affects the rest of the home.

Whether the project involves transforming an existing layout, adding living space, correcting an underlying building problem, or completing a carefully designed interior renovation, MAE approaches the work with the same planning and accountability expected from a custom home build.

MAE is best suited for renovation projects where thoughtful planning, structural coordination, building performance, and professional project management matter.
