The Best Home Builders in Edmonton

Let’s talk about the best home builders in Edmonton! We know that if you’re building a new home, you’re going to shop around and compare all the builders, communities and what incentives they have to offer. So, where do you start? How do you determine who the best builder in Edmonton is? Which home builder is right for you? Here are our 5 pro tips to help you narrow down your home builder list!

Reputation & Experience

We suggest choosing a builder with lots of experience and a good reputation! Many home builders have great longstanding relationships with trade partners, green program certifications and City of Edmonton ties. Landmark Homes has been a leading homebuilder in the Edmonton region for over 45 years. Reza Nasseri, our CEO and founder, was inducted into the Alberta Order of Excellence in 2010 and was appointed to the order of Canada in 2018. He most recently received an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree in Spring 2021.¹

As a new home buyer, having peace of mind is important! We recommend you build with a reputable builder with respect within the community and that is committed to building better homes in premium communities. We are proud to have long-term stability backed with strong humanitarian values.

Industry Award Recognition

Since 1943, the Canadian Home Builders' Association (CHBA) has been "the voice of Canada's residential construction industry." Representing one of the largest industry sectors in Canada, our membership is made up of some 9,000 companies — including home builders, renovators, land developers, trade contractors, product and material manufacturers, building product suppliers, lending institutions, insurance providers and service professionals.²

Any reputable builder who qualifies, finalizes and wins industry awards is a top builder in the city.

Google Reviews & Avid Ratings

We recommend you do your homework and check both rating platforms. Google reviews are easily skewed if you don’t look closely! Be sure you base your decision on reliable, honest reviews. Additionally, Avid Ratings is a third-party surveyor that provides consumers with post-occupancy reports — these surveys are comprehensive and very dependable.

Edmonton’s Premium Communities

Location, location, location! There’s more to selecting a community than just falling in love. Don’t get us wrong, loving where you live is most important — but there are other factors you should consider! The first one is the walk score. Did you know there are ratings for walkability to amenities and transit in communities? A walkability score helps determine property value.

Another important factor is the land developer. We work with Edmonton’s most reputable land developers to ensure premium lots and surrounding amenities. We recommend Anthem United, Cantiro Communities, Melcor, MLC, Brookfield Residential and Cameron Developments when choosing successful land developers to build your new home.

Quality & Specification

It’s what’s inside — literally! A new home is a long-term investment, so when you’re home shopping, it’s easy to get distracted by all the aesthetics. It’s important to do your homework and find out which builder offers the best specification for the best value. We recommend you compare builder specifications to ensure peace of mind and less stress down the road. Your new home is likely the biggest investment you may ever make, and you get what you pay for! We can confidently say we have the highest specification in the city, with unparalleled advantages.
