My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Empire Custom Homes
Drafting Companies in Calgary
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 15, 2018
“We hired Empire Kitchen and Bath to reno our kitchen over a 4 month period while we were out of the country which involved removing all existing cabinetry and installing all new appliances. They also upgraded our family area fireplace and cabinets and also installed new cabinets in the MB. We were kept appraised by email, with weekly updates and accompanying pictures. The work proceeded smoothly, with minimal issues and the few that arose were handled promptly and very much to our satisfaction. Empire kitchen staff were responsive, engaged, knowledgeable and most importantly, very available both on the phone and via email and being away from the property the forgoing provided us considerable comfort that things were managed to our satisfaction. They also armed and disarmed the residential alarm system daily, collected our stacked our mail . They even too the time to re-instate the furniture and our kitchen items (cutlery, crockery and dishware and spices) so that when we returned home late on a Friday night, we were pleasantly surprised that we were returning to a home that was ready for us to step into with no additional work. What was also apparent from the weekly pictures was that housekeeping was excellent and they cleaned as they went which is always the sign of a disciplined and well organized crew. Ultimately the work was completed on schedule and on budget - we have out dream kitchen, and the fact that we were away from home and not directly monitoring the work made no difference! We would highly recommend Empire Kitchen and Bath and are fans,”

“Al and his crew designed and developed an oversized garage with a two bedroom carriage suite. His team handled all the city paperwork and permits. Their design was approved by the city development committee with no significant changes. This is a testament to their due diligence during the design process. The suite looks great and our tenants really enjoy the space. The builder easily worked from Al's blueprints and the project went smoothly from start to finish.”
