Our 5-Step Turnkey Infill Construction Process in Calgary
1. Discovery & Feasibility: Your First Step to Infill Development in Calgary
This initial phase is all about understanding your vision and laying the groundwork for a successful project. We begin by listening carefully to your needs, goals, and site details.
Here’s what you can expect:
- A free initial discovery call to discuss your project.
- A site visit (if necessary) to assess the property’s potential.
- A high-level review of your property’s development possibilities based on Calgary’s R-CG, R-G, or H-GO zoning bylaws.
- A comprehensive overview of Jenga Built’s services, project timelines, and estimated cost ranges for your Calgary infill construction.
2. Pre-Construction & Design Phase: Planning Your Calgary Infill Home with Precision
This crucial phase involves detailed planning and design, enabling you to make informed decisions about your Calgary infill home.
- We offer a flat-rate $4,500 design package, which is fully credited toward your build cost.
- This package includes:

By the end of this phase, you’ll have a clear understanding of your property’s potential, both visually and financially.
