Bowood Homes

Building a home is a major undertaking and investment, so we did plenty of research before confidently choosing Bowood Homes to build our lake house at Meridian Beach. From start to finish, we were blown away by the service and professionalism we experienced throughout the process - guidance and support was always gladly provided in the design and construction of our one-of-a-kind dream home. We were thoroughly impressed with the workmanship of the trades Bowood partnered with and more pleased with the quality of the materials used in the build, all while keeping in budget. If you are looking for a best-in-class custom builder that will treat you like family, choose Bowood. Thanks to the Bowood Homes team, we are finally home! Pam and John

Bowood Homes built our custom home in Sylvan Lake while we were living outside the country and we were completely satisfied with all aspects of the homebuilding process from initial siting, interior and exterior design materials and landscaping to construction management and vendor/tradesperson service. We were impressed by the Bowood folks who without exception were responsive, knowledgeable and 100% committed to the perfect execution of our vision for a beautiful custom home. They have excellent, well-sustained relationships within the homebuilding community and it shows in the workmanship quality and efficiency of service. On time and on budget (from 3000 miles away). Bowood Homes was highly recommended to us and we can unhesitatingly recommend them to you.

In late 2016, we completed a Bowood build of our new home at Sylvan Lake and are thrilled with the result. We started the project expecting it to be a stressful, challenging and time-consuming process. To the contrary, and much to our surprise, we very much enjoyed every aspect of the build. The Bowood personnel, with their expertise and experience, guided us through the entire process smoothly. Not only are they talented, thorough, insightful and respectful - but they enjoy having fun with each other and with their clients. Bowood also expects high quality and standards from their trades' people and suppliers, ensuring a great product for the homeowner. All of our interactions with the trades and suppliers were pleasant experiences as well. We thought it pretty remarkable, with all the choices that had to be made, that we stayed on budget except where we varied it and that the project timing predictions were so accurate. Lastly, in some ways, we were sad when the build was complete as we would miss the regular contact with our Bowood people– not much higher praise than that!

We have been in our Bowood home for over nine years and are still impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. From the design stage to the day our keys were handed over the knowledgeable and friendly staff at Bowood provided a very positive building experience answering all of our questions while completing the project on time and on budget. We do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting a quality built home.

We contracted Bowood in the spring 2014 to demolish our aging lakefront house on Sylvan Lake, Alberta and to design and build a new lakefront home for our growing family. Construction commenced November, 2014 and our new home was completed on schedule and on budget in December, 2015. Our project included the design and construction of a 2,100 square foot Cape Cod style walkout bungalow with a fully developed lower level, a detached oversized double garage with an adjoining playroom, a new boathouse and new decks/patios and stairs to the lake. In our view the Bowood Team is a very talented, creative and practical group of professional builders, architects, designers and project managers. They were all an absolute joy to deal with and they made the entire home design and building process a thoroughly enjoyable, stress free and rewarding experience for us. They facilitated numerous changes to the scope of the project along the way and came up with practical solutions for any issues that arose. They have a loyal and talented group of regular sub contractors and trades and it was obvious that everyone involved in our project was genuinely excited and proud to be associated with Bowood. We are thrilled with our new lake house and redevelopment of our lake property and would highly recommend Bowood Homes. The Tripps

Bowood provided an excellent team of professionals to design and build a new cottage that had to be 'married' to an existing structure. As we live two hours from the project, it was very helpful to have an onsite manager. The team listened to our needs and came up with creative and practical solutions. They were on time with their deadlines and just a friendly and easy group to work with.

Our building experience with the Bowood team was very positive. Our project was well managed and they were always available to address questions and follow up on concerns. The project was done on time and on budget.
