Your future invested. Our reputation on the line.

Yes. Our team handles the whole permit process in-house: we prepare, submit and follow up the development and building permit applications directly with the City of Edmonton, and we do not hand this to a third party. City review times vary with the project and the time of year, so we watch each application closely and plan the construction schedule around it.

We are open about costs from the start, and we do not price a project on square footage alone. Every project has its own site conditions, design, finishes and construction requirements. At the estimate stage we work with you to define the scope of work and exactly what is included, then build the estimate from real pricing on our own projects and from our suppliers over the past 12 months. The number you get reflects your actual project, not a generic cost per square foot.

We read what you sent and call you within one business day to talk it through. If we cannot reach you by phone, we follow up by email. If the project is a fit, the next step is a site evaluation of your lot, which is a paid service. You are also welcome to visit one of our completed projects at no charge; the person handling your enquiry will arrange it.

Feasibility, design coordination, permits, construction and project delivery. We stay with you from the first look at your lot, through zoning, financing coordination, permitting and utility planning, to final turnover. If you need it, we also work with property management companies that can help with buying the land, selling the finished project and managing the property.

Send us your lot details and we will tell you how many homes it can hold. Since 2024, Edmonton’s small-scale residential (RS) zone allows row housing and small multi-unit buildings up to three storeys, with up to eight homes on a typical interior lot, depending on lot size and site rules. We evaluate your lot so you know exactly what your options are.

Yes. We work closely with experienced mortgage brokers and lenders who know MLI Select financing. Depending on the project and the borrower’s qualifications, some clients may be eligible for financing of up to 95% of the project value. We also help coordinate the construction documents, budgets, schedules, permits and other information lenders usually ask for. For established clients with a long-term relationship with Michael Homes, we may be able to provide additional financing support case by case, subject to project scope and approval.

Michael started as a real estate investor and landlord before he became a builder, so we look at a project the way an owner does: how it gets built, and how it performs once it is finished. We build homes we would be proud to live in ourselves, and that stand out in the rental market.
